103m pounds for Pogba could be a massive error in itself, even without the fact that heleft Man U for free. He's not the finished product yet, and the world's full of players who were hyped heaps in their early 20s but failed to kick on. I personally think that he's a bit of a flat track bully and has a tendency to fade in and out of games. Even at the Euros I think Renato Sanches has looked like he's a better CM, and he's 5 years younger (although conspiracy theorists are saying Sanches is actually 23 too) and he cost half that much.
Those Sanches rumours are bollox, he has been at Benfica since he was 8/9. There are videos of him around that age and he looks as young as his peers, you would notice the difference between a 15/16 yr compared to a 10yr old. And yes, he has initially cost half as much, but the total transfer fee could go up another 45million euro if certain targets are achieved.
I thought he cost €35m straight up plus another €45m in potential additional fees. So that's up to €80m. Pogba's proposed £103m equals about €120m so yeah half as much was hyperbole. Two-thirds as much is more like it.
Expressed another way, Pogba is being valued at 200 Riyad Mahrezes
