To anyone whose seen Ricardo Rodriguez regularly, is the guy legit or is it more a case of right player + right system?

Pogba has the mental strength of a teenage girl? Same guy who rose from poverty to being one of the best players in his age group? Or the dude who told arguably the best manager ever to fuck off because he didn't like how he was used, went to a foreign land, to play for a stacked midfield, and...

Casemiro, Marcelo and Benzema were huge in this game. Three CLs in 4 years, and a back to back. They have to be up there with 06-11 Barca.

I wasn't too big on him when he joined as I thought he could poison the locker room, but the man is an absolute warrior. Gave his all out there, and from both teams, I felt like he played like he wanted it the most.

United is my club, but Zizou might just be my favorite player. I wasn't too optimistic about his coaching acumen, but I guess the man is just a born winner. Just hate that it had to be Real to be the first B2B CL holders as I despise the club, but I can't hate on this legend. 1.5 years, two...

Not even I will dispute that as Pogba's been a mixed bag in big games, but Nedved ran the show against the Galacticos at their peak. Pjanic was immaculate in that game, however, Barca's midfield has been crap these past 2-3 years. - - - Updated - - - Here we go again with the generalizing...

Before we continue, that was Roma Pjanic I was talking about Agree though that JUVE Pjanic plays a lot like Xavi, more defensive leaning and also engages more for himself on the final third rather than creating. As for the three... hmm, if we're really technical about it, they aren't not the...

I was merely pointing out that Pogba's year as a 'bench player' was just as productive as all but two seasons of Pjanic's career. Not my fault if you couldn't catch that. Regardless, I already said that I can't see Pjanic carrying as much of the burden on offense as Pogba did for us - of...

Yes I did Google, but only to verify. Yes I know he wasn't first choice, and yes, you're free to doubt me watching the games, but who actually says someone who made 32 apps is a bench player? If he really wasn't good, how did he match all but the two best seasons of Pjanic's Roma career in terms...

No problem, cheers :rock:

I agree, but he's fantastic at it. Schneiderlin's problem is his lack of versatility, AND the fact that his supposed strengths aren't even that good. Everton is his level. Of course it's an issue. Tevez is a physical beast, while Higuain has great movement but most of all, being a CF is...

Hey... he started it :snoop: That said, compare Pogba's last year or even Pogba's FIRST year at Juve against Pjanic and tell me that Pjanic is really an equal or even better. Hell, let's not even get to Pogba's two best years. C'mon man, any rational football fan, even anyone who hates United...

Fair enough, I misunderstood. Ehh, not really that simple. Schneiderlin was good specifically in one role and one role only - a role which he couldn't do at United because we have better options than him. We gave him tons of chances but he never delivered. Schweinsteiger is a legend, but...

Acting like fans of the most watched domestic league in the world is one homogenous group of people, and looking down on them, isn't any better. Give me actual reasons instead of "lol you watch EPL, you must be retarded". We had four targets. We signed all four targets. 3 world class players...

Imagine any of Barca and Madrid looking at Pjanic and say... "wow, this guy is what we need". Fact of the matter is no, he's simply not good enough. He's okay but Pogba is a different class. Marchisio better than Pogba last year :sergio: talk about butthurt, I thought only City and Inter fans...

You mean to tell me the one guy that United, Barca, Madrid and PSG were after wasn't the best player on Juve last year? He may have had a better seasons in 13/14 and 14/15, but that doesn't mean he was gash last year. Get your head out of your ass and stop being so butthurt about Pogba leaving...

Perfectly describes him. He scores important goals, and to be fair he does a lot of great things off the ball, but he isn't a prolific scorer. He's perfect for a two CF partnership where he does the dirty work and pitches in with occasional goals, while he other CF is focused on putting it in...

Neither Verratti or Modric were/are for sale. We went for the best option - best CM in his age group and someone with legitimate world class potential. It sure wasn't a perfect season but you can't possibly criticise the decision without the benefit of hindsight. - Pogba started the season...

City made moves already, but I wouldn't say their signings are inspired. Bernaldo Silva may become the best player in the PL in 12 months, he has the potential IMO, but the reality is that City didn't need to strengthen their forward line. Coming into this season, they will have Aguero, KDB...

Can see where both of you are coming from as he doesn't show the desire to do the dirty work like those three did. He shows flashes of how good he can be on defense whenever he feels like it, but his effort levels fluctuates as the game progresses, and that sucks as he does have all the tools to...
