If there is one thing that our attacking midfielder needs to be able to do is to play fast 1-2's with Messi. Pogba isn't able to do that.

And we need an attacking midfielder now. Busi, Raki and Arthur are enough for the defensive front.

how effective are those 1-2's in crucial UCL stages?

So we just need MF with one qualification: to do one, two, buckle my shoe with Messi?

Just no!!

They are effective in most of the matches in La Liga. Our strikers (Leo and Fatass) are not very fast anymore, so Pogba's through balls are uneffective.

For UCL we would need a 2nd striker who is a target man. Someone like Manđukić, so you can cross, cross and cross. If not else, he would open up space for Leo.

No, but we need a MF who can do that. We play most of the games like that.

Eriksen is a perfect attacking midfielder for us right now. A bit physical, has a good long shot, is good at passing and most importantly plays on the right. Getting Pogba would mean Cou on right side, like it or not.

He certainly is more than our previous midfielders (except Rakitić and Paulinho). You probably didn't watch Tottenham-United in FA cup, where Eriksen owned Pogba in 1 on 1's.

Oh yeah, you don't watch football.

Eriksen plays on the right? Did you ever watch Eriksen? FYI he plays LMF

Pogba's more diverse. Better defender, great dribbler, great passer and is an aerial threat.

many members here hate diverse players.
they want unidimensional players who can play 1-2 with messi till a goal is scored, if not, rinse and repeat
