Putting in only a handful of good performances a season doesn't make you a top or world class player.
Spending most of your playing time, over a whole season, just jogging around at a snails pace and flitting in and out of games, doesn't make you a top or world class player.
Being caught in possession and being pickpocketed on a regular basis, season after season, doesn't make you a top or world class player.
Being completely consistent, in being chronically inconsistent...season after season, doesn't make you a top or world class player.
Having absolutely no defensive ability or attributes when playing in central midfield, doesn't make you a top or world class player.
Having the agility and short distance pace of a lanky, gangly giraffe wearing concrete boots, doesn't make you a top or world class player.
Having a half-assed attitude, when you are paid millions of £££'s a year to do a job, doesn't make you a top or world class player.
Pogba is in his 6th season at Utd.
That's the vast majority of his senior playing career to date.
He's had some spectacular games and been brilliant on many occasions, but when you add it all up, that only accounts for less than probably 10% of his playing time, at best.
He's had one really productive season out of six.
Pogba has some excellent talents, most notably his top class ability to read the play and rapidly spot and deliver an accurate pass, but that isn't enough.
Top or world class players have to deliver a lot more than that.
He's 29 in a few months time and realistically, Pogba isn't going to improve or change at this stage of his career.
His days of player development are long gone.
Put in better and some great appearances in the future?.....most probably, but how often?
Frankly, it's too late to see him transform into a different player.
Overall he's not provided the quality that we expected from him and is more often than not, a serious liability.
I find it baffling that Utd are trying to persuade him to sign a new contract, on terms that would only be given to the very best, world class players.
What do they expect they'll get for the money, other than more of the same?
