So you can see him play with Messi? He would quit after the slightest dressing down at half time lol

He hasn't got enough footballing IQ to play with Leo. We mock Suarez and Rakitić in that regard sometimes, but from what I've seen he is far far worse. Rakitić is far superior in linkup play.

Dear FC Barcelona, please don't buy a dab for 150 million.

Rakitic had a phenomenal WC. I'm sure Jose would welcome him with open arms at UTD. Surely 100m + Rakitic would be enough to entice them into selling Pogba to Barc

Oh come on, either you are overrating Pogba or massively underrating Rakitic. If Barca offered that to United, Mou would carry Pogba to Barcelona. I would love Pogba to come, but not for a crazy amount and not with losing Raki in the process, unless we do a direct swap without any payment.

In Barca, it's mandatory to take Psychomessi IQ tests. To see if they can link one, two, Messi's coming for you with Messi. Amazingly player such as Gomes, Paulinho and Vidal passed that test.

Rakitić is far better for us as things stand right now. Far far better.

We need an attacking midfielder and Pogba is not the answer.

what's the use of linkup if it ends up with a failed one two attempt at the edge of the area and worse, a counterattacking opportunity for opponents?

What's the use of a midfielder with an ego of Mount Everest with only through balls to gain from that only thrives during counters?

(Mind you, Andre Gomes was doing that once upon a time at Valencia without the ego bit.)

well he's good with set pieces both offensive and defensive, headers, long shots, he can make sweet passes even when in possession, he can defend from time to timd

and no, Gomes wasnt playing throughballs at any point

This guy would bench Rakitic. He can do it all: defend, attack, head, shoot from distance, great technical ability, and is much much faster as well


just look at the amount of forward passes he made today :worthy:

Not an upgrade to Raki in any sense . Raki was our third best player last season. Covering for Busi Raki did lot of dirty work . If there is one player who will get benched by a deep lying playmaker it will be Busi in Ev's formation

May not be , but busi was poor last season . Rakitic bashers with their lust for homegrown players makes Busi untouchable in terms of criticism

Why would United let go of Pogba for anything below £150m, PSG would probably be all after him especially with his connection with Mbappe I wouldn't be surprised if they wouldn't even do a swap for Verratti yet some want to swap him for Rakitic or say he is not mature enough for Barca when Barca have brought players like Suarez/Neymar in the past.

Pogba is a black muslim player with a huge ego and price tag hence an easy target for criticism in the media but his performances have not been that much better in the WC compared to how he plays for United unlike what the 'experts' say.
