Isn't he basically a shittier Pogba who will ruin the wage structure and the team spirit even further?
Well, if it includes McT going to other way, I don't mind.
I mean Bayern won a lot in their FC Hollywood phase, so why not
At his best he is better than McTominay or Fred.
I hope we get something like his best.

Anyone can look decent when he's got Verratti alongside him. Jesus Christ I was dreading the moment we actually signed him after being linked to that guy in 3 or 4 transfer windows before... oh well.
Definite upgrade over McFred, but if we’re only signing him and no other midfielder then it won’t make the impact we need
I agree with this on so many levels. Buying big name players hasn't worked out for us since RVP.
I always thought he looked a pretty good midfielder in the making when he was young. This could be a good signing if we can get him to fulfill some of his early promise.
wary of all the reports of him being a egotist, although the French posters seem to be saying it’s primarily his mum not him.

Combination of all three and the fear that it is the De Jong alternative.
Not watched him play for a while but surely he can’t be any worse than McFred
Will we have him signed in time to play next weekend?
Clearly a panic buy as this is one we could have got at the start of the window if we were really that interested in him.

So I go to sleep seething over the Arnautovic links and by the time I wake up we are linked to this guy and already concluded a deal? Surely must be some sort of record for us ?
Cocks back in.
Can he play as a false nine?
He'll fit right in.
We're wasting money and wages on him to be nothing but a dressing room issue and a shit presence on the pitch. Its fecking crazy. I'm honestly shocked. I genuinely thought last season was rock bottom for this club, 0 goal differential at the end. And then we fecking target Arnautović and Rabiot as our emergency options after a first defeat of the season because we did nothing all window?
These are transfers that I would laugh at fecking Everton for doing, and they might well get relegated this year for being a complete shambles. What the feck.
He is nothing like Pogba and who knows how much he will earn.
A combination of all of them. Bizarre move to say the least. I know it’s not hard to upgrade on McFred but this is scraping the barrel.
Absolutely nobody can convince me that Ten Hag wants this guy
He will do well in the premier league
Fair enough, understandable in that case. I have concerns, but I'm also very concerned about our midfield.
I've not seen that much of Rabiot to be honest, but i've always thought he was 'ok'.
If he's the De Jong replacement, then it's very concerning.
Ah feck... that'll learn me to not believe the oracle Ornstein.
15m could have got Caicedo a few months ago. Now, it's going on this lad. Would be better off giving the money and game time to Garner
Hope I am wrong, but this seems like a bad move.
To be fair, I think he will do well in the prem, and thats based on nothing.
He doesn't have much in his back catalogue to suggest he'll be a toxic influence in the dressingroom, so I don't think we actually have anything to worry about there. His mother is batshit crazy and he's a pretty average player, though.
I doubt he'll be on megamoney - he's never realised his talent and Juve want rid so it should be a cheapish deal in terms of fee and wages. You never know with United, though.
Time for some people to fecking wake up, if it comes down to either this guy or McT, and you prefer McT, you we the muppet all along.
Clearly a panic buy indeed but after watching that shite show yesterday the time to panic is now.
I'm sure we are skint. Has to be that.
For once I don't want to get my cock out
Hold on, you wanted to break up the McFred partnership….!!
This guy is a good footballer, and will compliment Eriksen, and Bruno by improving the quality of our ball players. But he doesn't replace the need for a Declan Rice, Philips... a dominant defensive midfielder with power and drive.
I think this is a decent signing. Look at some of our squad ffs.

Blind hope based on nothing is probably all we'll have left come September 1st
We are saving it all for Frenkie
If I was Charlie Adam I would not turn the phone off , he could be lining out for us by the end of the month.
It's not a horrible signing in isolation, but the problem with this signing is the context. End of the window, FdJ looking unlikely, McFruno dropping another stinker in the first match of the season etc.
If this signing was made in June, with the promise of 1-2 additional midfielders to supplement a completepy new look midfield then I'd honestly be perfectly fine with it. What's scary is that the timing suggests he's a de Jong replacement, which just won't do.

Wasn’t it said all along that we have a £100m budget plus money from outgoings? We’ve spent not far off £100m already and got nothing coming from sales really.
I'm starting to think people don't realise that McFred are still decent players and a lot better than many other midfielders out there. They aren't going to win you the Premier League, in all likelihood, and they may not even be good enough for top four. But yes, they are better than a lot of other players. Rabiot is, in my opinion, a downgrade based on everything I'm looking at, when it comes to both stats and Juventus fan opinions.
Feck, any videos of his last season ? Let me try to be on board.
