    You may have a point Dai. I rang Jose Mourinho to warn him about Pogba but I can assure you he gave me short shrift !!

    There are loads of players that fans think are good because they happen to have been in a team that has won a major trophy but once they move on they are back in reality and it was a team effort that won the trophy and not an individual......Why has no big team interested in him ? Because as an individual he has not been that good.

    Players who have "not been that good" individually don't get in the Spanish national team - particularly in a World Cup winning squad littered with stars. Besides, we've signed players in the past that few other clubs were interested in and they've proved to be excellent. Michu ring a bell?

    I can see what swanseaandproud means, for every Ronaldinho there’s a Kleberson but with Llorente I’m very positive.
    There can also be the ‘Baf’ effect where anyone now playing up front looks decent, but once ‘Nando gets to full fitness and that sharpness required for the Premier League I think he’ll do well for us. You have to remember Bony took a good while to look anything close to the quality player who left us.
