Saw somewhere down the page about how Pogba compares to TFM, and saw someone say that Pogba used to dominate our U21 games. I am sorry but it was Ravel who used to absolutely boss games during that time. True, things did not work out for the lad but for sheer talent he was the "one" after Giggsy for me. Definitely Pogba has gone on to be a very good player, but it will be sheer revisionism ignoring Morrison's brilliance. Even Petrucci was doing as good as Pogba at that time. Don't get me wrong, I will be glad to have Paul in our ranks, but his performances for the U21 are sometimes exxagerated. I still think if Ravel applies himself, he can be a gem. That's just me though, I know a lot of regulars in here don't like him

Deeps.

There is no doubt that Ravel was a real gem in our youth set up. But to suggest that Pogba did not equally stand out is sheer ignorance.

Pogba in no way equally stood out. There was a group of midfielders namely petrucci, tunnicliffe and pogba and Morrison who were all very good players in that team. Ravel was by far the stand out player, he was amazing, poor lad just did not have the head for it. Shame cause if pogba is now worth 100mill, imagine what ravel would be worth.
Don't get me wrong pogba was a very very good player and he was a standout in a couple of games but ravel week in week out.
