i don't knowosh kosh bosh personally, but i would assume anyone that frequents a forum/thread dedicated to a sport would be more than a casual fan. Maybe you should pay closer attention because he was saying he's watched him but wasn't overly impressed and thought pogba was better.. not that he didnt know who he was and just assumed pogba was better.. you made a stupid *** comment about pogba and you backtracking.. i see you
and you can miss me with that attack ish..
Nice essay fam.
@ backtracking. Nothing I said is false. You Man United fans always feel attacked when someone doesn't worship one of your man crushes. Pogba's style and personality is a great marketing tool that makes people think he's better than he really is, just like every one of your past stars. Which is NOT attacking him, it's attacking comments that say the comparison is "absurd"Again, quote me where I said anything negative about your idol. I literally stated "Pogba doesn't do this" when I criticized most Premier League players for making unnecessary long passes.

lmfao... i have been one of the biggest advocates for KDB being player of the year so far. I could care less if you don't rate pogba..or if your casual *** only sees him as a haircut.
you keep pushing that "attacked" motive.. no one over here stressing you fam or your hot takes.

Sure
I guess "the comparison is absurd", "KDB doesn't have passing range" and "Pogba is better in almost every category" coming from you United fans aren't hot takes

almost as absurd as assuming every united fan shares the same opinion... you having a conversation with me, yet you quoting everyone else. I've said it a million times in here, just because we support the same club doesn't mean we have to share every opinion.

Pogba deal looking better though after every transfer window and his improvement. Thanks Juve....glad y’all are enjoying Higuain
Must’ve forgotten he was a Man U reject.
Can’t wait to see him in a Barca shirt and challenge for UCL’s like he used to.

They are both obviously top players. But i dont' think pogba could do what KDB is doing for city. I think KDB could do what Pogba does for united.
For me Pogba dribbles too much at times and kills the flow of certain attacks. This is what i admire about KDB so much he always picks the right pass and always weights it to perfection. The mans ability to get the pass perfectly in the stride of the winger or forward. To direct players with a pass. It's crazy to me how he unlocks a defense with a pass when it seems there is nothing there at all then all of a sudden its an attacking move due to one slide rule pass in to Sane or Sterling.

To a new and unsophisticated soccer fan..
POGBA seems a good deal better, he just pops off the screen.
KDB seems like a very good part of a great machine...
POGBA seems like he IS the machine.
It's hard for me to believe that if they were both on teams full of average players you would take KDBs squad over Pogbas.

Raiola is seriously the best agent in the world,man tries to control narratives like no other to the benefit of his clients.
Dude is shifting the headlines from Mkhi just being a makeweight in a deal to him being just as important if not more than Alexis in this situation
Dude is trying to get Mkhi a nice deal from Arsenal with the threats about him not wanting to go there and putting the Alexis deal in jeopardy
Def think Mkhi would do very well in that system

If you watched/go back and watch KDB's at Wolfsburg you will see why he is not a part but is a machine by himself. The season before Wolfsburg picked him up from Chelsea (after a spell which some would say he wasn't given a fair shake because of all the talent he showed at Genk) Wolfsburg finished 5th in the league. Add KDB and in the one season he was there he broke the Bundesliga record for assists in a season with 21 also had 10 league goals to go along with it and won the Bundesliga player of the year...Wolfsburg went from 5th to finishing 2nd, winning the German Cup and the German Super Cup with him in the squad. And this Wolfsburg squad wasn't really filled with a bunch of other class players like City. This Wolfsburg squads other best players where Bas Dost whos a good striker but is playing out his prime years in the Primeira Liga (Portuguese league) which isn't a top 5 league quality wise in Europe right now. And other best player was a left back in Ricardo Rodriguez who was rumored to leave for a couple years after Wolfsburg finished 2nd but big club's where hesitant to make a move for him for a couple years cause they started to think he might not have been that good cause of how his play dropped the years after that great 14/15 season. So this Wolfsburg sqaud was KDB, a striker who's playing his primes years in the Portuguese League now and a leftback who's play dropped significantly. KDB made his name on taking an overall average squad to new heights.
I could explain his first season at City the following season where he was the reason our club went to the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time in our history as well (which I could still do if you wanna know) but what he did in that season with Wolfsburg alone proves that KDB is not just a good part in a machine but is a machine all by himself.
On Pogba (who I think is a world class player don't get me wrong) did not make his name taking an overall average squad to new heights. He actually made his name as part of a Juventus squad's that won 4 straight league titles 2 Italian cups in his last two years there and a Champions League final appearance while he was there. These Juventus squads didn't just have Pogba they also had Buffon whos one of the best keepers the game has seen and is a world cup winner. In defense had Chellini and Bonucci 2 world class defenders as well as Barzalgi a great defender in his own right and a world cup winner. in midfield along side Pogba they had Marchisio who was argubably a world class CM in his prime, Pirlo whos one of the best midfielders we've ever seen play the game a world cup winner and 2 times champions league winner by himself, Vidal whos one of the best box to box mids in the game and still tearing it up at Bayern. in attack they had Carlos Tevez for a couple of those years who was a great striker on his day, Morata who is still a very good striker on his day despite recent struggles at Chelsea now, and Mandzukic who is a great striker on his day and a previous champions league winner and Dybala one of the best young strikers in the world whos arguably already world class. Also its important to note the year after Pogba left back to United Juventus still went to win the league again and reach the Champions League final again without him.
So its kinda funny to see you say one of your reason's for saying Pogba is better than KDB and KDB being considered close to him is absurd is because it's hard for you to believe no one would take KDB on an average squad over Pogba on an average squad when one player made his name that way and the other didn't.

He tackles like La Liga players, he just contains
Honestly your criticism is a bit harsh. He's out of position a lot and dives into tackles too late but hes picked himself quite well after a terrible start at City. Hes had bad form (past 3 matches) after coming back from injury.
He passes well and has great pace for a CB. Reading the game will come to him hes still young, needs to get stronger IMO. He also has done brilliantly for us in Champions League.

The best thing you can say about stones has nothing to do with his defensive ability. He is struggling right now for sure.
