I feel bad for Pogba. His best years were spent in bad teams and players of his quality only have arrived in the last year of his contract
But, he has been quite lucky otherwise. World Cups are not predictable and they only won because of all the other great players. He won Serie A but Juve won it every year.
He now has a choice to make which is not much of a choice if you ask me. Yesterday, PSG hammered Clermont. Real is playing Celta Vigo. Non-PL teams will suffer for some time.We are the sexiest team in the world now, one DM short of complete. So, not much of a choice at all for a player who doesn’t have the capability to drag a whole team by himself.
Pogba is a guy who cannot lead a team. He is still a boy and too interested in being liked and having a good time. Showing up post-match (when the next one is 2.5 days away) at a concert is not something that Messi/CR7 would ever do.
Yet, he (understandably) does want to win before his career is over. Varane is a ridiculously good defender. He is injury-prone but is otherwise perfect. Pogba will know this. He will see Sancho and Greenwood's talent and know that if he leaves we will just buy a couple of midfielders and still be at the top for the next few years.
Man Utd has already outsold PSG in Ronaldo vs Messi shirts (2:1). So, even if PSG give him a big bonus, they can't guarantee him glory. Only a historic club can and there are none that are in a position to challenge. Real, with aging Benzema/Modric/Kroos, no defence, and an untested Camavinga is not as sure a bet as us. By a long shot.
Let's give Pogba some love. He has waited a long time but his (and our) time to shine has come.
