Dybala strikes me as a luxury player - much in the same way Ozil is. Doesn't quite fit in the modern game.

What do you mean by "luxury player" and "doesnt quite fit in the modern game"?

Not trying to be an arse here, genuinely interested, its always been a baffling idea to me

In the EPL, there's not many places for players who don't press well, who don't track back and basically just wander around the pitch until the ball comes to them - no matter how good they are. Ozil is an amazing player on the ball, but you've seen the struggles Arsenal have had trying to fit him in. We just get overrun.

Dybala strikes me as similar. He's an amazing player technically - but off the ball; he's quite sharke.

I just think the game has changed over the last 5 years or so - you need the physicality to go along with the technical skill. 

Does this mean he won't do well at Utd if he ends up there? No, I just think that Lukaku fits the EPL better than Dybala ever will.
