I believe they switched places depending on the season.
First two seasons, Pirlo and Vidal were clearly the best two of that bunch. Then Pirlo started showing signs of decline and you had a more refined Pogba. Vidal's last season with us wasn't as great either. I would place Pogba above him that season.

Vidal and Pirlo were both clear levels better than Pogba in 12/13 and 13/14. And even Vidal 14/15 > Pogba 14/15 and it was not really close. Marchisio’s form too > Pogba that year.
Pogba’s best period for us was the last 6 months of 15-16. He was absolutely immense for us and looked to be staking a claim to one of the top couple CMs in football, but then forced a move to ManU and threw away his career like a complete dumbass.

definitely not imo in 14/15. Vidal and Marchisio were easily our best mids in CL knockouts and down the stretch run in Serie A.

I’m not arguing he was bad. He was fantastic for us for 3 years. But our other world class CMs were better. That’s all. No shame in that. He was beyond brilliant in the last 6 months of 15-16 though

This. Vidal and Pirlo were arguably the best pair of CMs in football from 2011-12 to 2013-14 and leaders of this team and the style we played and won with. And Vidal was our best CM in CL knockouts on the way to 14-15 final (Marchisio second best, Pogba missed most of the knockouts, most of Dortmund crushing, both Monaco matches, and the win against Madrid).
Pogba wasn’t even close before 15-16. And then he behaved like a twat when he left. I’ll cheer for him to succeed if we buy him again, but I’m just as happy laughing at him clowning around for ManU.
He had a poor start to 14-15, very poor even, but by the time CL knockouts came around, he was our best CM in those games imo. Was back to averaging over 4 tackles/game, a couple interceptions, clearances, and blocks, a couple key passes, etc. Of our mids Him and Marchisio were the ones who most pushed us to the final that year. Pogba missed 65 minutes of Dortmund 3-0 match, all of Monaco ties, and our win against Madrid. Hardly featured in our most impressive CL ko performances that year.
