Yeah that's why me and a few if my mates questioned it at the time. Bruno and Pogba already here, did we really need another in that sort of position.This only makes sense if we didn’t have glaring holes in our first 11. Why would you sign a back up CAM when we had no actual striker or RW?
Pogba can play CAM and is very good in that position. I’d argue it is his best position, releasing him of defensive duties.
We would have been better off keeping the €40m this summer and investing in areas that can be greatly improved.
Even if Bruno was out for months, Pogba would simply slot in there with Rashford back to the left.
We all want more squad depth but it seemed a bit much at the time, especially when we're short in other areas.
There's no way he gets ahead of Bruno or Pogba so if he wants a career here he'll have to become a CM. If he can do that great, it's what we need.
