watched a bit of fan reaction- their view is it would be crazy to sell Pogba.  Need 5 players and then you're going to sell the only world class player you've got?

Pogba isn't your captain. You need some other senior players around him to set culture. But he is world class.

Fan reaction guys were blaming the club and Woodward.

Definition based on....? I hope its something more than just the fact he has a World Cup winners medal ?

Is De Bruyne world class ?

But anyway, the whole game of trying to define whether someone is "world class" or not is futile & as a sole barometer to determine having them in your team is somewhat foolish imho.

And as for those who judge an individual players "worth" by medals, here's something else from the O'Shea era ..... Anderson has 4 x EPL winners medals & Gerrard has none... Even as a United fan I know who I'd rather of have had in my team.

  

Okay lazy label. He is a very good player. And yeh De Bruyne is one of the top players in the world.

Who do you bring in if you jetison Pogba and who are you proposing to try to build around? Plus another 5-6 players. 

I'm saying even if you don't like him, he may need to be in the team and be well managed.
