I'm willing to be that the vast majority of people who claim Paul Pogba is the next big thing in world football have only ever seen him on FIFA. There is no way millions of teenagers would tune in to watch the fallen Serie A on a regular basis, so they're basing their opinions on his virtual presence. Pogba is an outstanding footballer, but the hype surrounding him is utterly staggering, with rumours of a £100 million bids from PSG, Real Madrid, Manchester City and any other European heavyweight with more cash than sense floating around cyberspace. He flopped on the big stage of the Champions League Final, and while he could one day be one of the world's best, he's still got a lot to prove. It's a big year for Pogba.
