Pogba can only dream about becoming the level of Cannavaro. Fabio was a force everywhere he played, he didn't need backing guys he was a backing guy. Paul is a fearweather superstar a-la Ozil. He is 27 already, how many years more before he grows up.
And Orgut, come on, go watch the damn movie, it's amazing.
Cannavaro is different there is no doubt about it but I made that point to show environment matters.
Im not saying I like everything about Pogba - He definitely has some weaknesses like choosing fancy over simple and I`ll even add he isnt the best at defending although he has that physicality and athletic abilities that helps him look more reasonable.
We need someone who can score goals and create from midfield - Pogba is one of the names that can play that role and he also ticks the physicality box.
Other names who can be good additions - L.Alberto (also a good leader) , SMS - Although Im not sure about his leadership skills, less skillful than Pogba but defends better.
SMS would cost over 80M (Lolito) while I cant even imagine Lolito selling us L.Alberto.
Pogba could come for cash+player - Something like Ramsey and money or we can get him on a free a year later.
Aouar for example is a player I like as I rate him a smart player but Im not sure of his ability to be this type of player.
Aouar will be a good purchase for lots of clubs but every team who gets him would still need that scoring/assisting type of player.
