Paul Pogba

[El Flaco]

i just feel sorry that real madrid did not buy him instead united

Real Madrid didn't need him as they already have great midfielders in Kroos & Modric.

Giving away 120m + Kroos in the progress.

He was one of the worst players on the pitch but I think he'll be a success at Utd. I still think paying that much for a player in quite a deep role is curious.

 

[Yannik]

That's not really a deep role. He's a holding mid who does the forward job, while Fellaini goes on defensive dutys. Sort of their deep lying playmaker now and even though I dont rate him much as a creative mind hes still probably their only midfielder who can make things happen, paired with the odd Rooney moment of brilliance. I think he'll do wonders when Utd dominates possession, but against a Pep team even Fellaini outperforms him.

Also that being said, whenever I turned on a Utd game this season Fellaini actually was quite okay, even today he won a lot of tackles and headers.

He's not playing as a deep lying play maker at all. Not sure where you got that from. In the first half he was all over the place in terms of position. He likes to carry the ball from deep, make runs from deep. I think he'll look at his best on the counter attack, rather than in situations where his team has possession, turning defence into attack very quickly.

 

[Morten]

Of course he has got some skills in himself but absolute not worth ‎€105M, I hope those fans were shouting to sign Pogba realized this ain't about how star a player is , it's about system matching.
And we've got enough potential players to shine in current system no matter they're really 'star' or not.
Besides i didn't consider his shity agent, the pathetic guy.

They are United-fans, you cant expect them to realize all too much. They think just throwing money at their problems will solve them, they havent learned anything in the last few years, i dont expect them to change in the future.

well yeah, sounds like things a deep lying playmaker would do

[Devils]

Can't even control the midfield against Feyenoord in a Europa League match.

Quality stuff.

Best midfielder in the world, absolutely worth 120 mill or whatever.

 

[ini4ever]

Well he's getting played next to Fellaini who's a b2b player, Pogba himself isn't kind of player who would control the game and being player-maker or whatever and you can see Mou using one b2b and a DM player at the same time and that's why we see they suck.

 

[BenRobbins]

I have seen nothing to suggest he is actually better than herrera or carrick. He is shite.

 

[Yannik]

You could attribute a lot to the fact that United as a team generally just isn't playing great football. But I mean, Pogba was actually THE guy that was supoosed to ensure that the team plays great and controls games, but it just hasn't happened so far. He's not bad or anything, but also not particularly great so far.
It's still early in the season however, he will have his games.

He played alongside Ander Herrera and Schneiderlin today, from what I saw, and pretty advanced too. He was still bad and nowhere near the impact player that some people will have us believe.

Then what is he? For 120 mill he should at least be good at something, right?
