I'd have more of an issue with the way people speak about the bona finde legends and achievers of this club and how they're somehow not allowed an opinion, despite their first hand knowledge of what it takes to be a winner at this club to be honest.
I couldn't give two fecks how much Pogba cost or what wages he earns. I think he's just too inconsistent and unfocused a player to fulfill the role expected of him here.
I think he's indicative of the lack of true character and personality that makes up our squad and while I think he unfairly takes too much of the brunt as the most recognisable figure when the majority of our squad are equally as bad or worse, I still want to see the back of him.
People are too quick to write off the opinions of people like Neville and Keane. In 15 years time when City or Liverpool are in a dip, you'll see people giving out about guys like Henderson or Kompany, saying their time has passed and the game has moved on from their dinosaur beliefs about what it takes.
They'll be wrong as so many of our fans are now. Tactics and systems might change but personality, workrate and ownership of players own performances will always set the good sides apart from the bad.
We've had bad coaches and bad structures hamstringing the players and performances for a long time now, but that doesn't change the fact we've also had far too many pretenders filling our shirt, more interested in the nonsense of celebrity than the day to day intensity of being a winner.
