It's Raiola's job to get his clients paid, kept happy, etc.. and that's what he did. Not sure why people have a problem with the man doing his job.

dude, go find a nanny.
JCK thought i was a pogba fanboy last week and i quoted all the instances when i was critical of pogba, then he later admitted that i was one of the few that never changed my opinion about pogba.

i will not proof it again just because your brain dysfunction turns you into an annoying attention seeking child that spouts nonsense without reason.

if you had any kind of education that was worth more than a 3rd world Ethiopian nude guy as teacher showing you how to make sounds with two sticks you would know that a discussion does not work by fabricating wild nonsense and just writing down what your feeble mind thinks is true. you would need to do research, check the source and then write your opinion that you build upon your research results, but you just blab around without ever having read me giving any indication to be a pogba fanboy.

use the search function or go speak to someone that takes you serious, i don't. i hope your mom comes back home soon and tells you to do some homework or help daddy on the farm collect some potatoes so you do not taint this thread with your
intellectual effusions.

So youre saying is you always rated Verratti higher than Pogba. Good thing you confirmed how clueless you are about football, just proving my initial point

I think some of the posts are pretty fair.

Not the Pjanic > Pogba posts of course but Juventus fans over the years have overrated him too much.

He still has some way to go before being put on the level of some legendary midfielders. It was laughable to read some of the posts last season really. And he is not the best CM right now. I would've said this even last year but I would've got bashed for saying that.

As of now , it's an absolute fact that he can't carry a midfield. He thrives best in an already well functioning midfield not when he's asked to be the leader of the pack. We've seen this both with France and Juventus. It's fanboyism to disagree about this.

Pogba is complete but he's still developing.

Dybala has shown he can be a leader already just like Vidal. It would hurt to lose him, not Pogba. It's not hurting losing him at all.

I fully agree, but saying that makes me "underrate pogba" apparently.


Pogba at juventus was the bomb when the team works. Compare it with a clinical forward to a hugely creative team, its a disgustingly good added bonus.


Pogba... If your team is a well oiled machine and the midfield is rocksolid, Pogba is an insane addition. He'll decide games, and he'll get good numbers, but your midfield needs to work and carry him. I honestly dont really see why putting the finger on this fact is such a problem ?

I absolutely hate how some go like "he'll be a bigger star in their team cause it has less stars". What incredible bullshit. Pogba can become the biggest star he can be, at this very juventus. Where on earth can you play your 100% naturally preferred role with everyone supporting you in some way ? Where ?

He had such insane potential, he could be so insanely decisive, at juventus or similar midfield. Bayern would probably be his best alternative.


But he went to Manchester. He cant carry a midfield, so its a huge mistake.



People need to get off their high horse and look at the simple facts : Pogba works when the other midfielders work. They make him work, not the other way around.
Again, there is nothing wrong with that. A stacked team upgrading with pogba is one of the best things you can do.

But if you have a crappy midfield, buy something else. Like verratti or Marchisio. They uplift whatever they put around them

Because he has an insatiable greed for money, and because he ensures that his interests are first, not his clients. What other agent demands a 25% commission on a transfer?

Both are on the same level, but they are completely different types


Verratti will make your midfield play incredibly good, and is a very complete skillfull player who is defensively better then Pogba aside of the physical aspect, and is very consistant and efficient

Pogba is an incredibly decisive addition to a perfectly working midfield that is allready carrying the team. The decisiveness he adds is greater then any other cm can add to an allready good midfield.



Verratti is the player you get and build you midfield with. Pogba is the guy you finish it off with.

none, because they are worse at their job. that is mainly because many agents of rising stars are their family members and so they are interested to get a little money but stay at the same city to leech of the players success and money, but not to much to have to move every year, but that is not professional.

if he manages to make every of his clients change club every year and cash in, well done. he is doing the job because he wants to earn money and not because he likes to touch young boys or likes to caress them

If his own interests were ahead of the client's, then he would have no clients.

Both are obviously not on the same level, but yes they are different players. Verratti is quite average in a lot of games but people wont notice it because no one watches PSG, and he gets hyped quite a lot based on one performance vs Barcelona. Truth is, PSG had no problem outplaying City in both games this season without him but were let down by their poor finishing. Not once during those games would anyone think "oh, they miss Verratti so much here" but more like "if Ibra scored those 2 sitters and his PK, they would be trough". Without a quality 4th mid, we would certainly miss Pogba more last season than PSG misses Verratti, as they easily roflstomp most of their opponents and hold their own against the better teams without him. Oh and he doesent even come close to Pogbas offensive output in terms of goals assists

There are some who would say that you are the clueless one for rating Pogba higher than Verratti. I guess time will tell who is right.

There are also some who watch Verratti 3-4 times a year and claim to know the player well. But whatever

 

[Juliano13]

Btw, saying Verratti>Pogba doesn't mean you don't rate Pogba.

 

[digitalbash]

I'm almost over it. But I'm changed forever. Will never attach myself to a player again.

This. Aside from being different types of players and having different effects on matches... The difference in quality at the very top between players like Verratti and Pogba is minuscule.

Verratti has been far more consistent in his career. Pogba has reached a higher level over brief periods. Like the last 3 months of this past season. This leads me to believe that Pogba has the higher ceiling... And for myself, I rate him a slight bit better... but the difference is anything but obvious, and I understand those who rate Verratti higher.

Pretty sure there are universes where Veratti is a better player but this isnt one of them. The difference between the two in terms of quality is rather obvious.

Obviously they are on similar level. Pogba has times in a perfectly functionning team where he'll rise above, as PI said. Verratti makes his team function perfectly all season round. Just Imagine him with excellent players to boost.


Again, you are focussing on "but mane, pogba is so insane crazy good, here are some stats in a game where someone else carried the midfield and he was decisive"


thanks. Thanks for proving my point right there mate

I know you were a huge fan of Pogba from day 1 and have been trashing Marchisio extensively, but you need to get down to earth on this one.


And get a diary, so you can remember your hurtfull feelings when he was dogshit for the first half of the season twice.

Ofc not but this is as bad as people claiming several years ago that Xavi is more important to Barca than Messi. Basically you have some folks trying to convince others of superior understanding of the game and come up with such shocking statements. And if you disagree with them, you dont understand football, tactics, etc...

I rate them equal but i prefer Verratti, as i'd like to have a more offensive player be the one that needs to be carried, but has higher output


They are equal or close. Thats it.





Well, they are equal or close now. Cause i can see him having a season in the abbys where he doesnt get near his level of the last 3 months of the season with us.

let's see how pogba will toy with the midfields of man city and chelsea to judge how good he is.
