What's 'insulting' is claiming that a footballer, because of his size, is better than another. My comparison is based on the claim you've made, where Pogba's superior physical attributes make him the better footballer... Absurd claim. I do understand the qualities of a physical specimen (take Yaya, for example), but I absolutely do not see any negative to technically gifted, controlling midfielders who are 5-foot-something. There is no correlation between physical size and ability.
Pogba fades, I don't find he's consistent enough yet. Verratti controls games. I would say most on the caf at the moment would rate Verratti higher.
