Because pogbas last season was ass

Yeah he struggled, plays as holding mid, and needs to improve, mature and focus, but what can of simplistic BS is that? It's about expectations, Pogba is expected to be super star midfielder and carry a load he is not capable of, especially under Mourinho, that price tag comes with big burden. And he is scrutinized more for it, rightfully. How is that compared to playing in Lazio?


But fact of matter is he still had 9 goals and 11 assists for Man U and was an incredibly dynamic and freakishly skilled player. More so then SMS, who is playing in Lazio, let that sink in, Lazio, still has alot to prove, and he too will have issues of pressure because of huge price tag and if he is also misused as holding mid instead of roaming b2b in his next club.



But bottom line is, watch both players, disregard their history and emotions, who is the clearly more talented player? Can't be missed.

Pogba is definitely more proven but judging based on Juve's Pogba and this year's SMS Id say they are both WC!
Pogba is better at attacking and is technically superior but SMS is way better defensive wise

Is he?

good question.

also, i added an other benchmark just for fun:

kezmans tricks to hype sms have really worked

It's pretty obvious that Pjanic is severely underrated by a large portion of this fan base.

Of course Pogba is more talented, but he's hardly lived up to that as the main man. He's been ass for two years, doesn't seem to give a shit on the pitch half the time for ManU, throws late tantrums when things don't go his way, and seems more intent on his image than actually improving as a footballer.

He'd be coming back here as a main man, with the salary, transfer fee, and expectations to match. The last two years haven't convinced me he'd handle it well and live up to his potential.

Of course I'd still take him back because our midfield is ass and Allegri got him performing pretty Damn amazing in the past.

I don't disagree with Pogba's flaws, and clearly his immaturity, my only contention is this: He is clearly better then SMS. People will be disappointed if they expect Pogba level from him, wether he signs for us or elsewhere.

Pjanic only problem for me is how sometimes he disappears in a game. Like completely ghosts

In all honesty if the pay scenario is worked out he would be cheaper than SMS and already knows what’s up here. I just don’t know how that pay gets resolved

SMS does that too.

I wish there was a way to tune out of football for a couple of months and tune in again on Matchday one of Serie A.

Worked for the italian NT.

SMS does that too.

So does Pogba

 

[dolph]

We watched Pogba since he was 19, and SMS just had his first breakout season, how can it be any doubt he is above SMS in general ability?

Oh I agree with you on this one, just thought it would be interesting to hear people’s opinion on this considering SMS is the flavour of the summer on Tuz.

For me they are pretty close in terms of skills, but Pogba is much more athletic. Maybe SMS will be better at handling pressure than Pogba, but that remains to be seen.

 

[zizinho]

Most Iconic if you ask me.

Why don't we leave our attack the fuck alone and just sign Pogba and SMS.
@zizinho?

agree, if you exclude Higuain

 

[Scottish]

Is this the year we finally get Cavani?

Ohhh myyyyy @Fr3sh @DAiDEViL

Ughh if Pogba comes back it reflects badly on us. We'd look as bad as we thought Man Utd looked.

Fuck that guy, if he wants another holiday go to Ibiza.

You already know how much I dislike the Pogba transfer and how that saga played out, and while I joke about not wanting him back because of it, it's pretty clear he'd help our midfield immensely, and Allegri has already shown he can get Pogba to perform at a consistently high level. Definitely worth a try.

I like SMS from what I've seen but I haven't watched him enough to know just how good he is.

 

[Maddy]

We are gonna sign Pogba and play him in a 2-man midfield with Pjanic
