It was only two years ago and it's pretty clear that it is the side he's playing in and the role he is being asked to perform that is making him look like a bad buy.

Course, he's off to Madrid so we'll never know, and there's probably far too much baggage and mental stuff going on, but I reckon Pep could turn him into a phenomenal player for us, whatever his best position is.

Hes a lazy cunt - Very difficult turning a lazy cunt into a team player that runs back and defends.

I dont rate him tbh.

What he really means is that they are utter dog shit and no player in their right mind would go anywhere near them

Yes, Alexis will be thrown into a mega-sulk.

That fella is pure poison.

Also probably their best player.

Actually I don't think he is actually that good. I've watched him a bit since he came back in the premier and I can't understand what is the fuss about him. He is all over the place in the middle, loves to keep the ball more than necessary, doesn't track back that much in his position and gives away stupid faults. Agree that from time to time he has a pretty decent day, but that saids it all. He is not constant.

Plus always moans.
I don't think he could get near our squad. He is no where near Gundogan, who, I consider to be our weakest midfielder. And that saids a lot of how Good our middle is if Gundo, a fella with his stats is miles better than Pogba.

That's the whole point though. He's obviously a class act in the right set up, but he's not very good for the rags because of the way they're using him, so he sulks.
It's a vicious circle.

Long may it last.

What do you think is his best position? Box To box? A more Fernie type?
