Well, it's subjective, but a good Mata performance certainly wasn't rated the same as a good Pogba performance. For Pogba to have a "good" game, he'd have to created 10 chances, assist 5 and score 3. Oh, and let's not forget the defensive work, too.

Fair play to completely miss every single point in the post. Takes some doing that.
Was he really that good for Brighton when he was there or is that what people want to believe? Genuine question as I don’t really watch them
Won their POTY, I think. Brighton have a Dortmund/Ajax-like system and infrastructure where they adorn the abilities of their players, but generally speaking he did decent at Brighton.
He was good at Brighton but that was a long time ago. Plus Estupinan has already eclipsed him.
I’d rather give Fernandez an opportunity but I guess we have to trust the coaches that see these players in training every week. At least it’s not Marcos Alonso.
His debut on Sunday should be fun.
He didn't have a bad first season, not sure he'd count.
Here's one and a blast from the past: Marco Materatzzi, the guy was a joke for Everton IIRC, then a world cup winner and Inter title winner.
He’s fecking shit but if we sign him then I genuinely believe he’s a generational talent.
Good move for both clubs and the player.
£7m loan fee plus his exorbitant wages is a joke.
He was a system player at Brighton. Very good going forward, but couldn't defend. Mistakes didn't get noticed there.
They did at Chelsea and they will at United.
Chelsea want 7, Man United want to pay nothing. It'll end up being 2 or 3 mil.
They’ve said £7m, we’ve said £2m so compromise at £5m and share the wages. Jobs a good’un!
7m 
Chelsea are ridiculous and we’re even worse if we pay anywhere close to that.

7m
It's Arnold and Murtough, they'll pay 6m and dress it up as great negotiations.
And you can't really go 3 months with only two fullbacks in the squad.
Dalot is passable at RB, he's a complete clusterfeck at LB.
Though maybe ETH is bringing this guy in to make Dalot look like Patrice Evra in comparison.

£7m? I wouldn’t even sign him permanently for that.
This is yet another stupid piece of business by us, just play the kid there and wait for Shaw's return.
This is very true. There hasn't been a player in United history with higher standards than Pogba. And even the games where he was unbelievable people would just grumble that he only does it once every 10 games
New formation don't need a pure FB anyway. And Malacia will not be away for 3 months.
Think he can be a useful player for us if we get it in. Not sure if it'd be a full season loan, or just half season while Shaw rests?
Makes sense to be full season
Do we have an option to buy. Just saying….
If he comes and kills it. He can’t just go back to Chelsea.

I mean if he was coming straight from his season at Brighton, most of us would be delighted with this, no? Have we not given the entire Chelsea squad a pass on last season, no?
Deal of the century
Zero issue with it as a stop gap due to some bad luck. People are letting the holes in the squad elsewhere/poor business reflect to much here.
7m
They got 55m for Mount, just trying their luck
Got a message off a mate about this transfer. I thought he was taking then piss and haven't kept up with football news today or much of this week due to travelling. Not sure what to make of this, tbh.
No chance we are going to agree to £7m loan fee.
Nope. It’ll end up Utd monitoring the player and being very relaxed about the situation. We will then buy Reguillon for £40m on deadline day.
Agreed. Be closer to 10m
This would genuinely go down as one of our most disappointing windows in a long time if we signed him.
Just shows the hypocrisy as many who were probably going mental saying why don’t we go for players like this will be the same going crazy we are now going for him.
But I get it he’s been shite.
£7m loan fee? Just sign whoever Fenerbahce's left back is and be done with it.
Probably you won't need to pay his wages then. If that's the case it's fair deal overall.
I’m trying to take a lot of comfort from the fact Pep really wanted him last summer.
He was absolutely dreadful at Chelsea but so was everyone. Hopefully he can find his Brighton form.
