And you think all of those current dudes are better than Pogba?
Not sure if noted model of consistency Yaya Toure is going to help your argument if your problem is that Pogba doesn't "dominate" often enough.

Yaya Toure
Toure hasn't taken over a match in years.
He may take over a five-ten minute span, but an entire match, no.

Toure is a kind of good comparison. In the attack, Pogba is probably only as consistent as Yaya was a few years ago. Sometimes simply so dominant on a physical level that even the best world class deeper/box to box mids like Kroos or Strootman don't have in their games.
However, the one thing people often overlook about Pogba is that he's always 100x the defender in midfield than Yaya ever was. That he consistently does every single match.
The €120m appeal is that if starts putting up more consistent player of the year Yaya type performances attacking you are are getting that from one of the better defending box to box mids in the game.
Not really any mid you can name with that range of contribution.

Toure was more stream of thought... thats why I added the caveat...
edit: I see similarities between the two, but the inconsistencies are for different reasons IMO
yes, Id take all those over him and more, for his given price..
I'll put it another way.. I sell Pogba for €100mm and make a straight replacement in Pjanic for €30mm, every day of the week..
And I think getting Higuain is more integral in their push for the UCL, than the loss of Pogba..
All that said, I think he's a good player that can make any team better and he has a lot of potential..
It's really a win/win for Juve.. I just think they're in a good position to find out how bad United really want him and how deep in those pockets they are willing to go..
