    Just been watching Spurs v Watford on BeIn sports over here and the question the pundits asked...based on this season, who would you rather have in your team..Dele Ali or Paul Pogba..

    All the pundits went for Ali and at 5 million the guy is a steal, best midfielder I've seen in years and years.

    Alli has had the better season, he's a big part of a very good team.

    It'd be stupid of anybody to answer Pogba to that question this season.

    Did you watch that match? It's clear how much their players love Pochettino.

    They're a strong mentality away from being the best team in this league, they just seem to bubble because the they've not got the experience of winning.

    Would love them to pip Chelsea to the title.

    Never finished above Arsenal under Wenger. This is the year.


    Plus half the England team.

    Yeah, Arsenal's time to move aside.

    Spurs need to start winning trophies to hold this team and Poch together, otherwise the big clubs will start to circle again.

    Alderweireld is the man, he's vital for them.

    They just put a stat up on his goals and assists in the premier league, Better than Lampard, Scholes, Gerrard, Rooney at the same age...Not just a little better...a mile better than any of them...very impressive. I guess comparisons should only be made in a few years time...but he does look the real deal.

    Couldn't care less about the fans tbh, the team deserves it. Fans don't deserve anything.

    Pogba is in his 1st full season though. Don't care how much a player costs, they're human beings, time to adapt to speed can take a long time regardless of price tag. Pogba will get better make no mistke, just like Ndong would have improved if he had had a second season. If the adaption rule stands for players worth as much as Pogba, it really shows how harsh the expectations have been on Ndong, written of entirely by many across the the net.

    The spurs player far superior in regards. Right club right time right price,the utd guy is heavily burdened by his price tag alone ,god knows why utd went for him again when there were other options

    Funny how Jose gets **** for going for him for £90m yet Fergie gets no **** for letting him leave for nothing.

    If Pogba had progressed without going to Juve, people would appreciate the player that he is, instead they just think £90m.

    Possibly. Probably.

    He's big enough to deal with it.

    Many players have been worse this season for us, Rooney for example, embarrassment of an athlete, looks about 50 years old, he probably looks at Zlatan every day and feels nothing but shame.

    You can guarantee Pogba will rake one in the top corner tomorrow and we'll make him look every inch the £85m player

    Bit harsh on a player who up until now has given the club first class service over many years,i think he has certainly been value for money ,ashamed of himself really?

    Physically, yes. He's 31 and can barely run. You know I wasn't talking about his career so stop putting words in my mouth.
