I'll explain this equation for some of you.
It's all about the values and who has the better deal for the most spent.

Not enough information to judge Sane yet. £47.5 million for Stones is a complete joke though.

Are you high or something?

There's a big difference between writing a player off and saying he has to do a lot more. So yes, I haven't heard anyone writing Pogba off.
So what does that say about Stones and Sane? Considering Pogba is delivering top performances whilst those two can't even get a game..

I never mentioned Stones.

It says very little about Sane, he's nearly four years younger and is being bedded into the league as a teenager. It's daft to write him off.

The thread is about the values of the three players.

Sane is massively overpriced as is Stones. Absolute fact.

Pogba is better value than the two of those clowns.

It's not a fact at all. If Sane goes on to be a top player then how can you say he's overpriced? He is 20 and we will not know if it is or not a good deal for years.

I'd certainly rather have Pogba than Stones and Sane.

Not that Pogba has been incredible, just the other two have been shite.
No cream eggs though.

Pogba is delivering here and now. He is also 23.

Sane has done nothing and looks woeful. Stones is another one.

Much rather have spent 80 mil on Pog than the two of those.

Christ. There's a big difference between 20 and 23. Let's not pretend it's basically the same thing.

I'm not arguing with the last part at all, though that's cause Stones was a joke of a purchase and not cause of Sane who we really shouldn't judge yet.

Rashford is 19.

It's he worth more than Sane then?

Are you watching closely?
Too early to write any of them off obviously, but I was never that impressed by Sané to be honest. Similarly to Depay, I thought before he arrived that he'd have to improve massively to make a mark on the Premier League.

Just trying to gauge how you value a poor looking Sane that's all.
As a talented young player who came into a new league and has mostly played off the bench so far.

Rashford has been poor this season, too. That's what happens with young players. You cannot expect them to be consistent right from the off.

Coutinho + Mane + Matip + Milner = 1/2 Pogba.

Pointless thread.

Pogba is currently delivering well. But his ceiling is higher (as demonstrated at Juve).

I agree with your equation but Stones and Sane also have higher ceilings, and they will no doubt improve and become players closer to the value at which they were bought.

All three massively overpriced and overrated, especially Stones.
