Zidane has been used as typical central midfielder, in years he developed himself into world's best attacking midfielder yet you telling me that the biggest talent on the planet Earth can't do the same

I disagree.
Pogba can play as AM and he will do relatively a good job, but that's not his best position IMO, and by playing him there you are weakning our MF. Best case scenario is to get an AM and play Pogba as a CM and give him additionnal freedom.
And you underrated his defensive contribution, he's not a Vidal let's say but he's not shabby either..
And by not playing him there you wont let him to develop into attacking midfielder, he is not shabby but Khedira, Pereyra, Asamoah and Marchisio will handle the defensive job by themselves

Did you just say Pogba is useless at defending and box to box?
Pogba is a CM, one that needs space and freedom to use his wide range of skillset to his best of abilities. Being limited to AM is not it, just as a static holding midfielder was not for him whatsoever.
Cassano is horrible choice for AM and allways was better off as super lazy forward wide exploring space and finding solutions. Seedorf too fantastic as attacking CM to the sides to play AM full on for Milan, have them balance and poise. Boateng was mainly used there because with Ibra the upfront playmaker, he figured it's better to just have an aggressively physical runner in the whole to exploit space.
VB over Pirlo was about one thing only, defensive security, he didn't believe in Pirlo and wanted more coverage for the defenders.
In essence you seem to think you know better about tactical choices then a seemingly experienced top coach. Questioning things is one thing, but you are seriously saying he should play players out of position because you know better.
How many goals we've conceded in the previous season because of Pogba's laziness on the counter-attacks when opponents tears us apart? Answer the question
He is using Morata and Dybala out of position when we swtich to 433 and he ruins them, they are useless as attacking wingers, yet you telling me that if we will use Pogba as TQ we will become worse team

I wonder how this even possible that people are scared that we will lose quality of the team in the well known formation with moving Pogba to TQ and at the same time they think that if we will swap into 4321/433 we won't lose anything, do you realize that the change of formation is much harder thing to do than swapping players inside of the regular formation?! with moving to 433 we are fucked up seriously, it take months to get used to it, it's "BUY CONTE ATTACKING WINGER WE ARE TIRED OF 352" all over again
