Wasn’t he in a midfield trio of Kante and Pogba not so long ago ?
Adrien Rabiot | signs 1 year deal at Juventus. See you all next year

Right, was probably used as a joke to break the ice at the beginning of a call.
Despite the hysteria, I actually don't think this is a bad deal at all.
Mid table madness
Dare I ask....(because I know what's coming)....this isn't the same Glazers who have overseen the spending of £1BN net and the highest wage bill in European football over the last decade is it?
I think we can lay many things at their door but money has consistently been made available, it's just been wasted
DvB/Eriksen - Rabiot - Fred
It could be a decent unit. Nothing groundbreaking but a million times better than a McFred double pivot.

That's why we waited until we got humiliated in our first PL game I assume? What a load of bollox.
To be fair this may be true, I'm pretty sure we we're linked with him about two months ago now. Having said that, I don't think it's a coincidence that our pursuit of him seems to have accelerated in the last 24 hours.
Narratives being spun
Deep joy
I reckon we'll put in a bid for him.
Tielemans - Rabiot - Eriksen as a potential midfield three?
Yeah he would have chosen us over a well run club with Champions League and an almost guarantee of stability and winning things. We just had to talk to him a bit more.
Wasted yes, but United were and still are one of the most profitable clubs in Europe.
When you are effectively the CEOs of a club making all the major decisions, the recruitment, board room decisions are your call. Woodward for 9 years is their call too.
Getting people who know football in charge is what is needed, and yes they've spent big money but they've gotten footballing decisions wrong in general.
Sick of Barca maybe
Rabitier
As poor as this signing is, it will probably improve our first 11.
Yeah, it’s either talking earlier OR picking a side who’ve won ten titles on the bounce and are usually in the CL knockouts.
Based on our history, do you think we can close a deal within 24hrs?
Don't give me hope like this
Is this supposed to make us feel better about ourselves? Why the feck would PSG and Chelsea be interested
if he didn't take 13.000.000€ gross wages I wouldn't mind him being our 5th or 6th midfielder in the bench.So what’s your honest take on rabiot? Worth a punt?
I mean he doesn't have injuries.
But giving what his wages are I'm happy he is a goner because with that kind of wages you could get a much better midfielder
Not better than McTominay or Fred, just an alternative at the same level. One game he is going to be good, and the next he is terrible.
Rabiot is a bad apple and a fraud of a player. You should absolutely not sign him.
Yeah but when where you ever right?
Neither do I. The weakest area in the team is pursuing a player who walks into the starting 11.
McT hasnt had a good game for about a year. So 50% improvement
Point is there were no rumours about any other club, and that the prices are similar, Ajax wanted to keep him and Juve want rid of Rabiot.
He may not have came here, and I wouldn't blame him, just pointing out we're signing crap for the same price others are signing potential world class players.
He was but Kante and France Pogba are a bit better than anything you have on offer. Until you get FdJ of course which should be anytime now.
Still better than signing no midfielder and good enough to be a starter over the options you have now, I might add.
I really don't like your opinions. Even worse that you're right so often
So, can Rabiot do a job for us in midfield or not?
I think everybody agrees with the bolded parts but I just don't like these conspiracy theories you see about how we're cutting costs or pursuing cheaper targets.
The club never does anything on the cheap....I'd say that's actually part of the issue!
His stats are worse than Mctominay in a weaker league.
Do you think that that money came out of their own pocket?
You say they spent £1bn but you fail yo say the other £££ that has left in dividend payments and loan payments (on a loan of £450m-that loan is still there, its roughly same figure, that their dad used to buy the club with all those years ago and still there).
The Glazers have spent £zero of their own money, they have spunked all that money and left us the shambles that we now are.
The main problem with the club is that the Glazers aren't held to account nearly enough, theses cretins should be hounded out of the club and until that happens nothing will change unfortunately.
I express many of them straight out of my armchair so I'm right every once in a while, yes
Again, pointless comparison.
My mate in the US might be able to get a pair of trainers for cheaper. It is impossible for me to get that pair for the price because I live in the UK.
