He’s a good player but over the 3 years he’s been here, he’s played nowhere near what his transfer fee and hype would suggest...I’d say he’s been hugely underwhelming for the most part. I’m not even sure where you play him - doesn’t control games, too ill-disciplined to play holding CM and as part of an attacking 3, he’s nowhere near as good as, say De Bruyne and Salah. Was OK today but if you’re talking about an alleged ‘World Class’ player against a Huddersfield team that is one of the worst PL teams ever, you’d hope they would stand out more...we do have a lot of poor players in terms of challenging the best but it’s still a team 6th in the PL..People make out like he’s playing with pub players...again, even at semi-pro level, good players stand out amongst dross. Pogba doesn’t...well at least not like a world class player should.
Maybe he will go to Madrid and be brilliant but here, if it requires surrounding him with great players (which isn’t going to happen) to get anything close to resembling a consistently good level and if he doesn’t want to be here, then it’s surely best for all parties that he leaves. If we reinvest money in the squad and get 3 good players with the money we recoup (obviously reliant on good decisions, which is not a given), we’d be better off than what we get out of him now.
