I think it's an utter joke that we are spending 100m on Pogba.In doing such we are making a big fool out of ourself. If this signing goes through we are setting a dangerous example for future signings.
Let us for example list a few mid fielders better than Pogba
Modric
Kroos
Veratti
Rakitic
Busquets
Iniesta
Koke
Vidal
Pjanic
None of them would have costed above 50m currently or when they were in their peak (barring probably Iniesta)
So there is no reason why we should spend double of that on a player we let go for cheap. Just because he has a fancy hairstyle and scores 10 goals per season approx.
I am not saying he isn't good. He is good enough. Probably just below world class level but spending 100m on him is foolish.
Rather bid for Kroos for 50-60m. Much better player than Pogba and cheaper too.
Mid fielders better than Pogba

Why are you even comparing Kroos and Pogba, they're completely different.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Both are central midfielders. Its not like I am comparing a goal keeper to striker
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cafu and Carragher were both defenders. Would you say their individual strengths and weaknesses were comparable?

Lost the will to read on after busquets name was put forward. Talking total and utter bolox again
Pogba will be twice what kroos could be for united. Bigger faster stronger technique sound gets goals assists etc. What do you watch and what are you smoking?

Again your argument is flawed.
Both Pogba and Kroos can play in the pivot role and in the attacking mid field role as shown for their respective clubs. It is completely fair to compare each other.

Kroos doesn't play in the attacking mid field role though.

Oh dear, who let you off your walking reins?
Children these days.
Are you proud of how 'clever' you've been with your utterly brilliant and entirely original insult?
