    No point keep regurgitating the same sentence, why not explain your reasoning behind that?

    I've explained why I wouldn't want to upset Liverpool's balance by putting Lanky Poggers in.

    I like Pogba Matth, that's not my issue.

    He has everything in a midfielder, he's powerful, pace, can spot a pass and score goals as well, For me, he's a world-class player, he's only 23 years old as well.

    Fair enough.

    Not sure he's world class just yet mate, but I won't get in the way of a decent pair of tinted glasses <ok>

    Why is he not world class? If anyone in midfield of Liverpool is world class, then he sure as hell is a world class midfielder. The irony here is that had he gone to Real Madrid, you and many others would have called him world class before he even stepped on the pitch.

    We don't have any world class midfielders mate.

    World class for me is a player that would play in front of anyone else in that position. Pogba wouldn't even make the bench of a world class team, yet. (imho).

    Fair enough, I forgot to mention that he can spot a pass as well, I might be biased here but I genuinely believe that he's world-class.

    What a moronic conclusion! He would be one of the first names on Real's team sheet had he gone there. I'm sure most top teams in the world would also gladly take Coutinho off your hands given you don't appreciate his talents as world class enough. It ain't your fault though. Players in England are always viewed as inferior until they go to Spain and become world class overnight when nothing has actually changed.

    Doing what?

    Sat in a one team league winning domestic stuff. He's not proven at the very highest level (yet). Flopped at the Euro's, even Joe Allen performed better.

    Give him time, he'll come good.

    I do think some are missing Sky's sarcasm re: Henderson.

    At least I hope it's sarcasm otherwise (in Gary Coleman voice) "What you talkin about Willis!"
