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.

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.
