I'm wrong because you said so?

And just about everyone else on the thread.

I quite rate McT. I think he's good now and will get better. The problem is who to play with him, and I don't know the answer.
I would prefer a 4-3-3, the front and back pick themselves. Rashy, Cavani, Sancho. Greenwood covering, and Martial.
But if we have McT and Bruno who is the third.
I've already written an article that we should sell Pogs, he has lots of talent, does some great things, but the other 80% of the time he doesn't.
Does anyone know of a young Robbo? .

Sorry VC. We normally agree, but differ on this

Differ on what 52?

I'm not sure I could cope with another Robbo - One of the Aussie cant is more than enough!

“ Why are we acting like he's got to stay at all costs. He doesn't perform for us despite his ability. He never has.”

Who is acting like he has to stay at all costs?

I think the question was would we swap him for varene, and the majority answered no.

I’d swap martial for varane

I think you rate Pogba more than I do.
Incidentally how's the weather there? I've a relative in the middle of Texas, and he said his local course was burning up.

It is hot and we haven’t had much rain this summer. Big storms last night though.

He'll do well to defend that miss?

He was lucky with his penalty.

Belgium could do with Groot.

I think they'll get the equaliser here. Italians in hanging in mode now, but there will be a lot of injury time

Yeah that was classic gamesmanship there at the end. Belgium didn't do enough over the course of the game to merit extra time though

We can't replace him for that amount

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

Not with a similar player but we could still make the midfield stronger and better balanced with £40-50 million and that's what the club should be weighing up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Reading through the comments, this is as far as I got before completely agreeing. I love Pogba as a character, I think he genuinely tries for us, but what we see in him week in week out will be what whoever buys him sees.

'Pogba is more effective on the left than Rashford' is a phrase I have heard a lot over the last few months.

*Checks the stats*

Paul Pogba's last PL goal was in January. 😂
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I expected a less myopic view from an all-seeing, regular, game-going fan.

I am quite happy to see Pogba sat on the bench when there are less talented but more devoted players on the pitch running their socks off. He could be a great player if he could remove his head from the other end of his torso.
Sell him to a 2nd Division club for £50, if any of them would want to risk that much for him.

We need a CB more

Pogba is not what we need or ever needed, go get someone like Camavinga!
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Every team needs world class players

Genuine ones though.

I’d love to hear arguments against him not being one, on medals alone. I know that is not a barometer to success, but it’s definitely a baro, at least.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Has he been world class for us in 5 years? He's not even been close for me. He should have been because he's got the ability.

Last 2 seasons alone:

2019/20: 1 goal in 22apps
2020/21: 6 goals in almost 50apps

If that's world class then then the game is gone.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I must ask, stats aside, when you watch Pogba, do you see a player doing world class things?

posted on 2/7/21

Because I see it regularly = world class, IMO

Oh wow doc, I know you have some out-there views, but come on.
