Paul Pogba

Pogba is a damn beast. I think he is a great player and it makes sense that all clubs would welcome him in their team but I am still against a transfer to Barca. Not because of him but because of all the circumstances. His price tag, the huge contract, his agent and he would need to change his game a bit to fit into our midfield.

He would need to adapt, yes - just like any other 'superstar' we bought lately. First you have to show you can be part of the team, than you're give more freedom for your individuality - and even if Barca play like a tight team we wouldn't be where we are without a lot of individuality from key creative players such as Iniesta, Messi, Alves, Busi Ney and players in the past like Xavi, Henry, Deco, Ronaldinho and others. Just as much as we need players like Sergi Roberto, Rakitic or Keita to give the team balance and freaking fight for every ball and cover up all over the pitch - we will need players like Pogba in the future when Iniesta hangs up his boots. I'm grateful we have a player like Sergi Roberto on our team, but we won't be as successful as we've been without bringing in a lot of creativity and individuality. I'm not saying Pogba will be the player that will do that for us, but at the moment I can't see any other midfielder coming close to his potential.

If that means we get Dybala, then it's a deal. The next trident to feature Neymar, Dybala and another striker. :rockon:

I still don't think we need him. Especially now when Roberto is doing good. Rafinha and Arda also available. But there is one scenario where we will need a midfielder in 2 seasons. Rafinha not being good enough. Arda and Iniesta getting older. Our priority should be CB and LB. We can try for Dybala and a CM in 2017.
