It's logical, ain't it? We all saw how Pogba had less mental issues in general and started performing on a certain level that Kdog still isn't finding. It's easier to see parallels but Pogba is more of an one of the kind type player and Kdog ain't. What hurts is that we actually dropped a considerable sum for Kdog.
He could be warming up and exploding this season, I can see it happen, but our whole team must be playing gkkd as well.
I won't argue that Pogba has more natural talent than Kondogbia. However, I think you're giving him way to much credit for his mentality. I think it's obvious that just about every young talent we have signed over the last 5 years has struggled. I don't think it's down to them all being mentally weaker than Pogba for example. I think it comes down to the fact Inter hasn't been a positive environment and Juventus has.
It's a lot easier to avoid mental issues when 1) You're signed for free 2) Your team is winning the league every year and 3) You aren't even expected to be a starter. It's obviously much easier for a player to develop in these circumstances.
