If he's going to play 3 at the back we'll only need 1.I would say yes, Pogba isnt as out and out defensive as Matic, plus lots of teams play with two defensive minded midfielders.
We often play Mikel and Matic in midfield, Pogba would just be a huge upgrade on Mikel.
I believe Conte convinced him to join from United and then made him a first teamer. Pogba loves Conte. He will be too expensive for us though, and Barca by all accounts. He'll probably cost City or Madrid 80 odd million.
I think we should try and take advantage of the problems at Madrid and their historic bad decision making when they want to refresh things (Sneijder and Robben for instance) and try and get Kroos or James. They'll be expensive but maybe a deal to be had.


It'll be funny which ever one misses out (in the same way I'm sure everyone is enjoying our struggles).
However Pep going to City to win them the C.L and then not being in it would be pretty hilarious.
Ideal world is United make 4th, meaning they keep LVG. United will remain average for next year and Pep will have to suffer Europa League.
