Sorry Zzeezzy but I have to say Pogba is top class all round. ANY team would want him in their squad. He's a very complete player regardless of his age.

I'm a Milan fan so I don't want to sing his praises too much but he is one of the main reasons Juve stay so consistent in the league.....sadly!

No doubt, but without trying to be insulting...... how much has Serie A and Milan regressed? There is hardly any great competition now apart from Roma who have a decent squad.

It's not what it once was I agree, but still he performs week in, week out regardless. He also steps up in international games for France
 
Actually I'd say in most of them cases their ego/attitude has grown as they have achieved more and been recognised as being great players through what they have done throughout seasons.

With Ronaldo he has massive ego now but when he first came to United I actually think he was just a young determined guy who worked his **** off to get where he wanted to go.

So in other words, exactly what Pogba is now, except Pogba's got a massive chip on his shoulder about Ferguson and thus works even harder?

I also don't buy the idea that Ronaldo didn't have an ego when he first went to United. He was brash, confident, cocky, arrogant and a hard worker. Just like Pogba, just y'know... more so.


-----------------

All that aside, Chelsea doods, where's Kurt Zouma? I haven't seen any of him this year yet.

Sure he played a league cup match and scored
 
Weirdly enough that would make Chelsea's defence by far and away the weakest area of the team. How times change!



You couldn't fit Zlatan's ego in any mansion. Nor Ronaldo's. Nor Maradona's. Having a ridiculous amount of self confidence and a touch of arrogance is almost a prerequisite for reaching the top. As I said, you've yet to come up with a good example of his attitude actually impinging in his performances negatively. In fact, that arrogance has given him a chip on his shoulder, because he's been so determined to prove the doubters wrong. It's made him a monster.

This. If players don't believe they're the best in the world, they're never going to actually get there.
 
Yeah pretty much. There are no "nice humble guys" playing at the top level. They just wouldn't survive in such a fiercely competitive environment where top clubs often have 22 players of comparable ability. Some of them may be more diplomatic about it then others, but pretty much everybody has a touch of arrogance and overconfidence. When was the last time you've heard player who gets sold admit that he just wasn't good enough? It practically never happens. Its always manager didn't like me, manager didn't give me the chance, the system wasn't right for me and similar excuses.
 
Mikel I have to say was brilliant when he came on against arsenal! Really settled the game down once he was on and he didn't get enough credit from our fans afterwoulds.

Probably. Despite Mikel being an 8 year veteran of a fiercely competitive club, I doubt anyone's ever going to give him credit. If he's not going to get played, best sell him and let him enjoy his peak years somewhere else.

I love Obi Mikel and have been a massive backer of him for years now against Chelsea fans who dislike him for false reasons. But i will say i have heard from someone quite close to the club that Mikel told him he will be off soon. He deserves to be playing week in week out.

so who is this under 16 st you lot have just got he any good

What lad is this bud? I haven't seen anything

Our under 18s have just gone on to beat Aston villa 12-2 after being 2-0 down.
 
If Boga doesn't make it I will lose all the tiny bit of hope I have left in our academy

Well he's still got a fair bit to go in his development and as always, so much of it depends on his attitude and how much he wants it. He's got the best chance out of the academy lot for sure though.

We all know our academy is being used as a tool to combat FFP but if we can get one of the lads into our side every now and again then that is a massive plus. Boga has the best chance of this i'd say along with Izzy Brown.
