I honestly find it mildly amusing how most people are too emotionally invested to sustain an unbiased position when dealing with this kind of subjects.
Anyway, trying to be objective, I think it can be said that:
1) Pogba is a hell of a good player.
2) Mourinho is a hell of a c**t.
3) Preemptively assigning a correct price tag to a player is a futile excercise. The most you could try to evaluate is how likely the player is to create an impact somehow equivalent to the money spent. Some tranfers will be riskier than others, but none can be labelled complete thrash before seeing it properly unfold. If Pogba performs at a world-class level for the next few years no one will say a damn thing about his transfer price. Comparatively speaking the price might seem ridiculously high, but since it seems ManU is not too worried about throwing that amount of cash around, I don't quite see where this point goes.
4) Similarly, I don't think Mourinho is as bad a coach as depicted by some here, though most certainly he isn't the best coach in the world either (the hell?). If anything, after the money he has spent this summer, his job at United might be seen in the future as the defining point in his carreer.
5) What Mourinho says is mostly correct if we part from the assumption that a club being bigger than another is defined by the relation of order between their budgets (which is a terrible assumption as far as I'm concerned)
6) Margot Robbie is F***ing hot.
