Yes.
Pogba is a top 5 midfielder, Kante has twice EPL MVP (or so), Rabiot is developing into a super weapon, Matuidi's level isn't really debatable and Tolisso has eased into Bayern's midfield.
Try to find me comparable levels.
But as I said, on paper. Not sure how DD makes it work.
But I'll remind you it's cgf who homerly claimed Germany's midfielders are above anyone else's.
Spain has two of the five best midfielders plus Isco, Koke, whomever.
Those descriptors of Pogba and Kante sound nice but I don't agree with them. Pogba is elite creatively and all-around but he still has issues with his offensive positioning and being overly present sometimes. Kante is a fantastic player but he has more problems with his occasional over-pursuit of the ball than some let on, and he's good but not great with the ball at his feet.
Tolisso has eased into Bayern's midfield - to his apparently immense credit - but the guy who's "eased into" the midfield of 3 of the past 5 Champions League winners is merely "good at short lateral passes." Riiiight.
