I read the repugnant article and I was ashamed that a black man like yourself will post such a demeaning article. It is a shame! The writer should spend more time watching Pogba and many other technically gifted and intelligent BLACK footballers, rather than spewing stereotypes. Sad sad shame that a black man, like yourself, has allowed himself to be used in promoting such nonsense. Sad sad sad!
I would have been ashamed of you if you were a black
man. It appears you are black, it appears you are male, but you are certainly not a "man". This is b/c I doubt if you are over 18. I also know that no real man could be comfortable being another man's groupie like you are with Borinho.
Your groupie tendencies push you to all manner of tantrums in your defence of your hero. So rather than deal with the truth in the article that such a limited player is not worth £100m, you chose to play the race card, blissfully unaware of how such frivolous accusations of racism undermine the cause against racial discrimination b/c they are used by racists to dismiss genuine claims of racism.
Of course, I expect this point to be over your head. After all, your hero Borinho dismissed claims that black coaches were discriminated against by claiming anyone good enough would get a job (implying that black coaches were not good enough).
People like you are why Chris Rock claimed that black men don't read and if you wanted to hide something from them put it in a book. You didn't read the article or did but didn't understand it (which is even worse, but not surprising considering you are as dumb as a doorknob).
For starters, it is not clear the writer is white. All we have is a name. You may not be aware that black people are sportswriters. But let's go along with your assumption that he is white and look for traces of racism in the article.
The 1st para talked about the wealth of the EPL.
2nd para questions the quality of the English game. Is the writer "racist" against the English?
3rd para suggests the signing of Pogba reflects the questions about the quality of the English game b/c of his playing style - driving midfielder with power and pace. If you had even basic comprehension skills, you'd recognise this is more of a criticism of the English game than of Pogba. And it is 100% true.
4th para continues about the nature of Pogba's game - it lacks "subtlety" that you would expect from a £100m player. He is still young but has not shown the "game intelligence" of the likes of Messi, Ronaldo or Suarez, and critically, this would not hinder his advancement in England (another big criticism of the English game!). These points about Pogba are spot on and have nothing to do with his race. To claim it is about race is to ignore the fact that the writer is saying the English game is played without "game intelligence". Black players are just about 30% in England. So the writer is claiming that more whites than blacks (70%) play without "game intelligence" in England. Do you see how stupid you are? I doubt it, you lack the intelligence to see it.
5th para continues on this theme - the emphasis in England is on physicality, no time to think, if you can run 90mph you'd do well. Pogba with his explosive bursts should fit in. It goes on to suggest "flaws in technique" would matter more in Madrid/Barcelona than at OT. Once again, 100% true and more criticism of the EPL than Pogba. Someone like Fabregas was an absolute star in England, but "flaws in his technique" made him less of a star at Barca and he was regularly booed by his own fans. I also think that Pogba's technique is very questionable and I suspect this was why neither Barca nor Real were willing to step in for him. And they usually have first refusal on the genuine world stars.
6th para - more of the same, slamming the EPL.
7th para - backs up the argument with the claims of Rafa about no tactics. Del Bosque talked about "tactical anarchy" at OT.
8th and 9th para - bashes Big Sam (is he black?) and suggests he played a big role in determining the "direction" of the English game. Coincidentally, someone once described Borinho as "a rich man's Allardyce" and he is the one shelling out £100m for Pogba. The real story is that Pogba is not worth that amount and Borinho is willing to authorise the pymt b/c £20m would go to Pogba's agent and Borinho would get a slice of that pie.
10th para talks about the English in Europe and how Liverpool used a high tempo game to beat Dortmund and Villareal, but were undone by a more thinking Sevilla. Where is the racism here? No blacks at Sevilla and Liverpool all black???
11th para contrasts Bayern, Barca, Madrid and Atleti with English clubs. "Racist" against the English??
12th para claims Pogba should be at home in England b/c of the way he plays. He doesn't control the rhythm of the game. True or false?
13th para says Pogba would add to the "excitement" in the EPL but would not make Manure CL contenders. The only things "black and white" here are the colours of Juve.
He concludes with another dig at the EPL - expensive players but not the best football. Anyone that has watched the EPL and Pogba wouldn't disagree.
There was nothing racial about the article unless you have the demented view that an assumed white journalist has no right to be critical of a black player. Racism is a pattern of behaviour. There is no pattern here when the discussion was just about one black guy. The only pattern here is in the writer's criticism of the English game.
There was an article yesterday questioning why Juve paid £70m for Higuain. I said I wouldn't pay 1m naira for him. By your demented "logic", we may be "racist" towards Argies.

As per leading in assists in Serie A, you should know that Serie A today is a poor imitation of the Serie A in the 80s/90s.
