Was he not suspended by PSG for going to a nightclub after losing to United?
Sounds a bit unprofessional to me.
Also did he not refuse to be on Frances standby list for the world cup? That's a tad unprofessional if so.

Hopefully he goes to Monaco, he's bang average.
We're known to overpay on wages but Sancho on 350k a week. Disgraceful.
None. Against certain opponents, Fred needs to be played higher of the pitch. If FDJ eventually joined, it’s still the case I think.
Think we should all give him a clean slate if he joins for us. A lot of what people are saying may not be remotely true. People are willing to believe the likes of Howson after his 2 days of scouting Youtube and Google searches, the only way we can truly know his level is when he plays for us.
Come on. We can't get rejected by this fellow too.
We're Fresh Slate FC
I heard psg wanted him renew the contract but he didn’t want to and psg left him out of first team for months, during that period, we beat them in UCL. He eventually joined Juventus as free agent in that summer. Not 100% sure if it’s exactly what happened.
If they get CL and make him their main man I don't see why not.
So, Rabiot is being brought in as depth, not necessarily as a starter?
He'll go to Monaco if they qualify for the UCL, unless we completely blow them out if the water in terms of wages.
The Athletic article on him today made me a bit less apprehensive about signing him, adding a bit of context to his rep of being difficult and talking a bit about some of his more positive qualities.
I think I’m less concerned than many on here about not waiting for the perfect players, we have to accept where we are and that the squad rebuild will have to go through a bit of a makeshift phase while we’re less desirable to play for. Provided we don’t hand out stupid contracts which prevent us shifting players who don’t work out.

Is this a serious comment? What have I just seen?
I'm fairly certain there are other ways to assess someones' level.
Imagine getting rejected by rabiot in favor of Monaco
I can just about handle this if we aren’t signing the other lad too. We still badly need a physical striker and FDJ though.
Hilarious ngl. We have no pull anymore
It'd be embarrassing but that's where we are as a club unfortunately. Years of stagnation on the pitch and not competing for trophies erodes away all the pull we used to have. All we can offer now are better wages than most.
Wouldn't be too bothered personally in this instance though seeing as we can do better and we don't need more drama queens in the dressing room.
I also rate SMS more
It's exactly what happened.
I found myself becoming Monaco's no 1 fan
I was talking in past tense about what he showed at PSG in relation to that discussion. He is still that same guy, same player. The only issue with analysing his time at Juve is that he seems to have played with less freedom and more of a destroyer at times. If you watch his involvement for PSG then you can see that he has more to his game than just sitting deep and mopping up play, he is very similar to FDJ in his traits and abilities. I'm not sure what role we are signing him for though.
Regarding the bolded parts, I don't deny that Rabiot's stock has fallen. I admitted he somehow lost any hype at Juve. Like I said though, neither player has lived up to their early promise or transferred it to a bigger stage. Yet.
Yeah, I knew PSG weren't playing him as he wasn't renewing, as is their right.
To then not remain professional, and do what he did, ie, go out after his team went out of a major trophy and be a bit of an idiot on social media is the definition of unprofessional!
Let's hope he has learnt his lesson from those two unprofessional exploits.
Rabiot is one of my least favourite players in World football but right now if you gave me the option of him or Mctominay, I'll choose Rabiot all day
Anyone think we’re signing 2 midfielders or just the one? Looks like rabiot will be one… who els would you get with him if it can’t be de Jong?
This link is killing me. I can't stand the guy and he's painfully average. Just can't get excited about this one single bit.
Think that’s what’s gonna persuade fans to give him a chance… if it’s an option between rabiot and mctominay then the majority choose rabiot. Shouldn’t be like that though. Should be a world class midfielder that instantly upgrades us and makes the players around him better. Don’t think rabiot will be that guy. Hope we sign another midfielder aswell as rabiot and then that might not be to bad.
Good luck to the lad, he's going to need it if all who post on this thread are Utd supporters. Generation social media where your only as good as your biggest mistake of the past, never to be redeemed.
I think he and McT will play together if FDJ doesn’t join us. I am also aware of most of people here probably don’t agree my opinion. So, no need to give sticks.
Why do our transfers take so long to complete?

United could be just getting a few deals agreed in principle as backup to when the inevitable rejection from Frankie.
If ETH wants to wait until the last minute for that to happen, then the club needs to have alternatives more along for the deadline day scramble.

The way he was frozen out due to contract renewal issue gm(for whatever reason) is more and less a bully by Psg. If it’s several months, I can fully understand his feelings. At that point, he probably had felt disappointed with the treatment and solidified his will to quit. It’s more like his mindset then was as simple as psg was none of his business anymore.
these two women explain perfectly what kind of player he is.
Pretty sure one of those 2 said Salah was "Cuadrado with no end product" before he went to Liverpool
Problem is that what we currently have is below average. So he will be an upgrade McT.
Actually they don't. I expect "Italian football experts" to put in a cohesive description, not just fluff around saying "I don't really understand what kind of player he is".
There is a bit more to that, while he wasn't allowed to play by the DOF, they went further in late January. Rabiot wasn't with the team in Doha due to the loss of this grandfather and when the team cameback a week later, Rabiot was made to train with the reserve. The LFP warned PSG that they would sanction them and they put him back in the professional team.
Yeah you’re right he’s shite. Gobshite Howson is a genius.
You’re wasting your time. He’s fixated about protecting the player’s image (weird) and refuses to give valid reasons for what are well known facts. He will also tell you that you are being absurd for bringing this stuff up or that other players also partied after the CL loss. The man mystifies me with his take on this particular player.
