Muller, Ronaldo and Alaba won't be considered overrated if they had one bad tournament simply cuz they already proved their worth in many other occasions like Aryagon said. While Pogba has to justify his 120-140m price tag. Juve could've won the Italian Calcio with or without Pogba, he is only considered Juve's best player just for last season.

He doesn't have to justify anything. No one bought him for that fee. It's surely not his fault clubs are willing to spend absurd sums every summer. And yes, he is a great player. And still very young, can only get better.

I've been watching football for 20 years now. I don't see anything special about Pogba. He's good, but that transfer price is absolutely ridiculous.

Watford rejected a combined fee of £62m for Deeney and Ighalo. Who? Exactly. Money being quoted for Pogba is good value in this market when its inflated beyond belief and very average players are valued at half that. He is no where near his peak yet either.

I mean if we were to pay that price i would be disgusted if only for the fact he left the club on a free transfer, but it wouldn't be the fee - not in this market.

that what Marchisio8 meant when he said Pogba can only function in one position. With France NT he is playing a bit deeper and to the right to his usual position in Juve.

Mate, I consider a one dimensional player to be someone like Tello. Somebody who can only play one way or has only one trick up his sleeve. He might be really good at this aspect of his game but it's the only thing of note about the way he plays. Hence the term, one dimensional.

Few years back, Eden Hazard was compared to Messi and was rumored for world transfer recored deal to Real. Before him, it was Balotelli hype and everyone thought he can only get better, then you have Robinho, Quaresma etc. I think we all tend to believe the hype around young players too much but we really don't know how they will develop. Pogba might be the next Zidane or just another Yaya which is good but won't be worth half the suggested price.
If Pogba is asking for 12-15m net salary then it's his asking not the clubs offering. Both Barca and Madrid don't want to break salary structure to accommodate a player who has a potential but not quite yet the finished product.

So what? He and raiola can ask for anything they want. That has little to do with what his abilities, and more with the crazy players market right now. Also a lot to do with his marketing, and his agent.

But to come back to the original point, you were assessing his value from a few games from this euro. That would be valid to any player. You can't just change the variables as you please, just to fit your agenda.

Hope he stays and plays badly towards the end of next season so his fee plummets down to 80m max :pep:
