Matuidi

. Never thought we would replace Pogba with such a brainless chicken. Our hope for the midfield this season is Asamoah, who hopefully will get fully fit and Lemina, who should continue to develop at his current rate. If we can count those two as starters, and especially the former, we should be fine. However, currently there are just to many if's on this roster, with Marchisio's injury, Khedira's injury-proneness and the list of names we are going to replace Pogba with. Last season we were blessed that Marchisio and especially Pogba stayed fit for such a long time, and that we did not have to deal with any other major long term injury in midfield, since we hadn't really replaced Vidal and Pirlo properly. I'd rather see the purchase of Pjanic as a replacement for either of those two as he was needed regardless of Pogba's sale. Now that we are likely replacing Pogba with Matuidi is a major letdown for me..
