We need versatile midfielders. We lack sqaud depth and he is the kind of midfielder that plugs holes during squad rotation. There's no point signing a big flash cm when we still have Pogba on the books because two many cooks spoil the broth. Its about finding players that compliment our existing squad either by adding depth or a bit of fire.
You need only look at every Sir Alex midfield. There's always one creative player alongside either 1 or 2 hard working individuals. Look at Chelsea with Kante and Jorginho or Bayern and Germany with Schweinsteiger and Kroos back in the day.
Having a midfield consisting of Kross, Modric and Casemiro or Iniesta, Xavi and Busquets is incredibly rare and the reason why both those two squads at the time won so much.
If you were going to add a flash midfielder to our squad right now, you'd need a Michael Carrick/Pirlo/Scholes post 2005 type of player.
Don't really think Pogba is here for the long run anyway.
If we add more players for squad strengthening we'll saddle ourselves with numerous all rounders/grafters who aren't particularly excellent/gifted while having spent most of our budget too. Where will the passing quality, brains, vision, technical class etc come from in such a scenario? Well once again be left with zero playmakers and too many different types that aren't so - Mctominay, Fred, Periera, Matic, VDB.
Besides this chap is more of an AM isn't he. So Pogba is then supposed to be the playmaker in midfield? I hope not. Or is it Fred and Mctominay? Dreary.
Also I don't think 'flashy' was my suggestion. I don't know why anyone with technical class is considered flashy. Pogba is flashy. Scholes' was not. For me we need more players who can pull the strings and dictate a football match. We have here and there players in midfield but nobody who can pull it together and I actually feel we probably need two.
Anyway, this is isn't really that much about this fellow. Like I said I don't know much about him. But I sincerely hope the club has some interest in signing playmakers because in recent years it appears as though it's the last thing we look at in a midfielder which is set to continue.
