If we miss out on Pogba we miss out on the star quality that he has/will have but there are other options that fit the profile we need. Not a disaster but typical of our public pursuits.
I think we're okay at RB, Darmian looked fine at Euro 2016, and he looked capable in Serie A. If Jose runs the rule over him in training and decides he's happy with him then I'd trust his judgement, I think he may have just struggled in last years system at times.
The CB situation is an issue though. Rojo looks okay when he plays regularly, but he's not good enough to hold a starting spot and get injured often. When he comes back his judgment is all over the shop. Jones is garbage tbh, and unreliable. I think Jose sees Blind as a utility player, so possibly a fill in rather than specifically a back up CB. Problem is Jose doesn't really rotate that heavily. We could really do with an vet type defender, who isn't going to hold down a starting spot but is able to step in at short notice and perform for short periods. That is assuming Jose sees Smalling and Bailly as something he can work with.
