Paul Pogba to Chelsea?

The title of the article says it all really

Chelsea want to sign either Paul Pogba, Koke or Paulinho after agreeing £ 50m deal for David Luiz

I think him and Matic would be a midfield partnership that we have been crying out for, for years.

Great signing if it happens

Thoughts?

This season Pogba has played Pirlo's "Regista" role, and he has done it at times spectacularly. That said, he is probably best as a box to box player. He is not similar to Matic at all, Matic is less technically gifted, more talented when it comes to defending.

Those two together would be amazing, and I disagree with people who say we need a deep lying play maker. Matic and Pogba together would work similar to Yaya Toure and Fernandinho.

Kroos is a similar player to Matic going by your previous comments that wouldn't be ideal?

----------------------------------

I see Kroos as more of a clever creative, playmaker type who can dictate tempo.

So not really too similar to Matic who is more of the braun of the operation with excellent physical attributes.

----------------------------------

I'm not saying that our playmaker needs to be deep lying. He can be the more attacking of the two CM.

That's how I would see Kroos and Matic working, with Matic the more defensive and deeper lying of the two and Kroos the more attacking and playmaker type playing slightly further forward in CM.

Superb the lack of pace. Matic is quick over long distances but in terms of turning and accelerating he isn't quick. Neither is Kroos.

----------------------------

Kroos has always looked very mobile whenever I've seen him play.

Also I'm not sure that pace in CM is as important as you keep saying.

Kroos is just another average over rated german

Looking back at some of the comments on this article there's no doubt that as a fan base we like to overcomplicate things for some reason, certainly on this site anyway.

In a nutshell what we need is two really good CM's.

We already have one in Matic and now we need another. I don't really care who we get as long as he is a very good player and fits into the side.

I think we can all agree on that.

Pogba would also count as a home-grown player

Do we need Varane ?

We have so many players who can play CB - Terry, Cahill, Brana, Kalas, Zouma and Chalobah.

Would much rather concentrate on sorting out CM and strikers first. If there is money left over for Varane then great.
