It’s not every day that an MLS signs a player whose hair is as loud as his play on the field. I swear Atlanta is just flexing by flopping out its thicccc wallet and signing all the players. Getting this UEFA inter-continental quality player, and former Champion in Europe is a huge get for Atlanta. After cashing in on the Miguel Almiron record transfer of over $27 million, Atlanta United has signed Pity Martinez, South American player of the year, and Mr. Pogba, former France international. Not only that, but Pogba jerseys are going to be FLYing off the racks. You know fans can’t but help feed into the antics of a flashy player with big-time charisma on and off the field. I can see it now, “Atlanta United fans riot over sports shops being dry of Pogba jerseys.”
Alright, you may have known by now but I have a dirty secret to share. It’s a little old journalism trick. Sometimes, you have to do some clickbaity ass headlines, to get eyeballs. I intentionally left out Pogba’s first name. Because… wait for it….I’m talking Florentin Pogba! And I love it! As the league transitions from low tier talent league, to a “we sold Miguel Almiron for $28 m,” league, why not bring in the popular names. Sometimes headlines are enough to get people excited. Hundreds of thousands of people are currently setting notifications on twitter for @wojespn in anticipation for a WojBomb. You should’ve seen my nipples when I read about the Porzingis trade. You would’ve sworn I was the, “El Chapo of nuts,” if you saw the peanuts I was smuggling.

But why not transition to the “brothers of famous footballers,” league. A little Kirkland brand never hurt nobody. Bring me all the brothers! Jordan Lukaku, Thorgan Hazard, Fekir, Ribery! Then we swoop in and get the popular brothers and make it a family league. Throw fat boy Higuain to play with Federico in Columbus. The Hazards and Dos Santos and Pogba and Lukaku brothers all facing each other. I’m all for that transition! Come on Atlanta! You can bring home the other Pogba (the good one) and start that trend!
