Just chatting with my lad and we were doing the comparison thing you do, and he tells me pogba is better than Vieira, now I love pogba I honestly do but imo along with Mr keane they were monsters of the game and pogba has come nowhere close to having the influence of keane or Vieira.
Interested to hear people's views.

Has the potential to be IMO. Has all the attributes and more than vieira. But he has a bit to do before he can make that claim.

He has more ability than Viera, no doubt about it imo. I genuinly think he can be the best in the world, he just needs more consistency, although he is influencing more games this season than last already. Our best outfield player comfortably.

I agree with the comments above I think pogba has a higher ceiling in terms of talent and ability than Vieira. I would say pogba is better a little further forward than Vieira who was an explosive power house of a midfielder. I would say Dembele of spurs is more like Vieira. Pogba has a touch of bergkamp on him when he is on the ball but then has a range of passing ability like Scholes. I am delighted to see he is contributing more this year and we must build our team around him and players like martial because they have the potential to be the best. So in short, pogba isn’t at Vieira’s level yet but I expect him to be the best midfielder in the world in coming years and be challenging for the ballon d’or.

As the other guys have said I think Pogba has a lot more going forward in his locker, but man-man Vieira would destroy him at the moment in my view.
I'm looking forward to Pogba eventually dropping all the posing and focusing purely on being a monster. I think if we went back 20 years Pogba would already be better, but alas time moves on and the youth of today are taking longer to grow up with every move they make being scrutinised and trying to appeal to more and more sycophants. Pogba really has it all, but I get the feeling he is holding back still to look "cool", the stupid hair-cuts etc just add to that impression of this all being a bit of fun, rather than a WAR!

Bring in Dele Alli or Saul to assist Pogba and Lukaku in attack?
Milinkovic-Savic is a good call to!?

Everyone's comments sort of echo how I feel about it, pogba has the potential to be the world's best and I do believe that further up the pitch he has more to offer .
I also believe the reasons that a lot of us get fed up with the modern footballer I, e haircuts, handshakes, dancing, robonas and the like is the reason that kids love them .
I think ask yourself this if pogba came up against prime Roy Keane in a match could he drag the game away from him the way Vieira could imo I don't think he could. yet.
Thanks for the comments lads it's an interesting one.

Couldn't agree more Beast. Imagine Pogba in the 90s era with Keane and Scholes in a midfield three! They would have made him into an absolute monster by sheer will power. I love a serious footballer. Smiles are for wimps.

Great points from everyone I agree with both beast and Deano. And good shout Ronnie on Milinkovic Savic that is one player who could be very special. I think to unlock pogba’s potential further we need to invest in another midfielder to play on a 3 alongside pogba and matic. As Ed has mentioned we are looking at a few options but I would love it if we could get Leon Goretzka. Such a talented player and it would allow us to control the tempo of the game when we play the big teams away from home. Exciting times as we have the makings of a strong team and with 4 more quality additions (lb, rb, cm, rw/ 10) we will be a force to be reckoned with.
