It's like a Pogba highlight video only Pogba's a 5x as long just for one season.
Thanks for posting this I’ve only ever seen bits of him at last World Cup. Looks incredible on this. As you say, I know it’s a compilation of highlights but looks incredible on this. Two footed, technically excellent, great passer, gets stuck in , tall, tough. Be fantastic if we get him and keep pogba
What are you basing that on? The fact he got less goals and assists than previous years? He played a much deeper role and was awarded Serie A's Midfielder of the Year award. Doesn't sound like a crap season to me.
Completely. All these Agents are pushing the line that United are interested to get the moves they want. What doesn't help is the ineptitude and appalling record of Woodward in the transfer market that is fuelling this. Sooner we get a DOF the better.
Savic is a natural no.10, which is why I would say although there are similarities I would stop short of calling them too similar and dismissing the prospect of them lining up together. With the right player in the holding role (such as Partey, using your example), Pogba could play in the double pivot with Milinkovic-Savic ahead of them.
The season before he played in an inside left attacking midfield position in a 3-4-2-1. He positioned himself high and excelled playing with his back to goal. When Lazio lost possession he dropped into the deeper midfield line, into the left of a midfield three position in a 3-5-1-1 formation.
If anything we need to get him now and give him a year to settle in. If pogba goes this summer and we get him and Fernandes to replace him I think it’ll turn out to be a very dodgy start.
Being awarded Midfielder of the Year means absolutely horseshit. Mhikitariyan was Bundesliga player of the year before he moved here and wasn't able to cut it.
Yes Marchisio is a great box to box midfielder. But I'm talking about his defensive skills, because some people here thinks SMS isn't good enough defensively.
When compared with Pereira and Fred?
When his competition are McTominay, Fred, Matic, 'LingZ' and Pereira then he absolutely is.
Pogba’s bottom level is lower than an average performance by any of our players. It’s unacceptably bad. Hopefully he’ll be much more focused and dynamic this time around (unless we sell him, then I’d happily see him continue the trend elsewhere).
Dont be bashing McTominay
. Anybody not excited by the progression in McTominays game in the last 6 months is a fecking idiot. Change my mind.Buying a player for 80m means you are buying a world class player. He is nowhere near that status. Sure compared to Lingard and Pereira he is a better player. But those are academy players we did not buy.
Still he will make us a stronger team (and so will Bruno).
I think people forget some of the previous back ups our best squads had. Hint, they weren't makelele, riquelme, guti or matthaus.
Would need a hard-working clean-up man behind them. I've heard of some Ander chap who was good at that in the Prem, not sure where he's playing now.
He can play with Pogba better than Pereira, Matic or Fred. But there is no guarantee that the trio of Pogba-SMS-McTominay will prove better than Silva/Silva-KDB/Gundogan-Rodri/Fernandinho midfield of the champions
McTom is going to have to play like a young Robson next year!Dont be bashing McTominay
True, we even had JOS and Alan Smith...
6th right there.
The irony, we did that with Pogba and he has been nowhere near world class either.
That's actually the weirdest way I've ever seen someone use stats to judge a player.
