Pogba is what David Haye was to heavyweight boxing, completley undeserved reputation.

Andy Carroll
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It just IS Andy Carroll. There's no debate. A season finishing behind Charlie Adam in Championship goalscorers followed by a good half-season in the EPL does not mean you're worth £35,000,000.

Simply the most bafflingly stupid transfer in world football. An absolute carthorse of a player whose level is clearly way below Premier League level. Combined with his rotten attitude, injury-prone status and general stupidity he became the most highly-paid pub league player on Earth.

West Ham paying £17,000,000 for him is almost as stupid, seemingly believing that because Liverpool once paid £35,000,000 for him he must be good.

Seemingly wanting to double down on the stupidity, Liverpool then paid £7,000,000 for the aforementioned Charlie Adam, presumably confusing the 2009-10 Championship with the Champions League.

Pogbas statistics are really really good. There in lies the flaw of statistics.

It would be interesting to go back and look at how many of our posters fell for the statistics and youtube highlight reels on Pogba.

I don't think anyone other than myself knows what you are on about. He was never a footballer anyway. Just a name.

But Adam's corners were worth £20m alone. So Liverpool were actually £13m in front. Good business.

We had cech for a decade, he left and we replaced him with a good keeper in TC who basically left us in the sh*t, in our weakest back line in probably two decades. Hes come to a new country, at 22/23 for a record fee, and played very well. We conceded the same amount as spurs this year and that includes 10 in one game when our team has been a shambles defensively most the year.

Too true. Having watched him get cap after cap for Scotland, where his slow pondering nature on the ball would constantly relieve of us of scant possession, his refusal to track back would give opposing attacking midfielders free rein to run into the box and his brutal tackling would give away dangerous fouls - any time he hit his first successful Holywood pass of the day after fourteen attempts I'd think "That was all worth it".

Until James Morrison miscontrolled it and kicked it out of play anyway.
