Because he’s French and ‘they’re’ always up to something shifty?
When they won the league;
Wijnaldum
Henderson
Oxlade
Fabinho
Milner
The year before the won the CL with same players minus Fabinho.
Basically until Thiago came last season, their midfield has always been about function rather than guile.
They are doing a heck of a job to be honest!
Wich we knew since last season but it seems like its just dawning on the board now.
Which is a damn shame and a big problem for a player to be stuck in his own head without realizing what's been best for him
Well here we are it seems.
Guess the question really is. Does he still think hes not a DM?
It would be the first and potentially last question that I ask him. If he is still stuck with that idea, let him play for a midtable Ligue 1 club.
Only worked because TAA and Robertson who play almost as midfielders.
Jesse Lingard?
Whatever enthusiasm I was still able to muster for this season after Sunday has been utterly killed off by the news we're chasing Rabiot and Arnautovic. WTAF.
This deal reminds me of Donny last year. Barely a rumour and then all of a sudden he was signed.
I wasn’t happy when I saw the rumours this morning but provided we do sign a proper DLP alongside as that’s clearly not his best role, then I’m not totally against it.
Looking at the stats I wish we would just go out and get Bennacer from Milan (I believe he has a release clause?). He seems tenacious, tidy and creative. Would be a good combo with Rabiot’s height and physicality, and both at an age to hit the ground running.
Then there’s just the issue of trimming the team, with which I think we should let Garner go back to Forest and try his hand in the prem.

Fred yes, he was our most improved player under ETH. McTominay is genuinely crap
What did they say on the podcast about him?
Strongest puncher in the world can’t do a thing without a core
Most improved player? We've played 1 game. Hahahaha.
That is a good point. ETH system will need one WC player like FDJ but I’d still argue the other two can be workmanlike
Not with United's full back. As I said, it worked for Liverpool because TAA plays as an extra midfielder with an amazing passing range. Who's going to play that part, Dalot? Having only 1 player with real quality on the ball is a big mistake, he's far too easy to cut from the plays and then you're left with nothing. Benzema said the exact same thing about PSG regarding Verratti.
He was absolutely shit haha what are you on about with “most improved”
A lot of the stories about his misdemeanours are not correct. He is talented and would be an upgrade on our present midfield. He is not necessarily FDJ's alternative.
The press really are pushing this mother angle aren’t they?
Custis couldn't wait to write that. cnut
You obviously wasn’t watching our matches last season.
We'll be looking to sell him next summer.
So basically he’s a mummy’s boy?
Yeah I was critical of him in the past when we were linked and he was leaving PSG, because of his character at the time. It does seem he's naturally matured by the sounds of it and he shouldn't be judged by his actions as a youngster.
I'm just trying to see if he's still the same player as he was at PSG. He was super highly rated back then. I went back to watch PSG videos of him and was blown away. He was FDJ on steroids.
No drama, no clicks.

You said ETH instead of Rangnick. You were right though, he was so much better further up the pitch, as he is for Brazil.
You said under ETH but meant under Ralf I think.
Noticed that about City with the FB sometimes going into CM spots. Not really noticed it with Liverpool. I suppose Rabiot and VDB are better on the ball than Milner/Henderson. So that might help, also we don’t know how Malacia will be.
My mistake. Meant under RR
This would be a great signing.
Reminds me of the mum from The Waterboy
'But muuuuum, I wanna join United!!!!'
'No son, I won't allow it! Now finish your dinner!'
'No son, I won't allow it! Now finish your dinner!'
I'd happily take rabiot and milenkovic-savic as telegraph are reporting. Thats an instant upgrade to our midfield.
