The whole market has gone mad. He’s the kind of player a mid level premier league team would have signed for about £5 million a few years back.
Ante Rebic...
- Thread starter Rozay
- Start date
I'm assuming he's backup for Lukaku, because, he can't be for the RW. Although, he does have more energy than Mata so.....
He doesn't score enough... If that's all you ask, then re-sign Welbeck would do the job for cheaper and having bonus of filling homegrown quota. The fee being throwing out there is laughable.
So we basically buying him to track Leroy Sane. Great!!
Agree with you on that, Rebic will not strengthen us at all. Why not play Sanchez on the right and Martial on the left and rather fix our problems on LB/CB instead.
Perisic is a level above him tbh.
More like the Anti Rebic thread
Can you imagine Ante Rebic leading us to CL glory? No, me either.
One can only assume that if it's not for his goalscoring prowess, then he really is a RW target and is being purchased because, as witnessed for Croatia, he's a 90 minute grafting forward.
Our RW really is the elephant in the room. How long has it been since we had a man wide who could do something on the right? the last two were Nani and Valencia (early RW Antonio). But here's the thing, though. It's true, you don't need two wingers on both sides, but you do need width on both sides. If, on one side, for example, Sanchez is wide, then Young can play inside, whereas, on the right, we can have someone like Mata on the right and come inside, but, it's absolutely imperative that the RB (Valencia, whoever) provides the width on that right. To his credit, Valencia does do the right thing on the right and overlap Mata, but that's where it stops. Antonio checks back and passes sideways or back because it's easy to double-team a full-back who doesn't trust himself in advanced positions. So, if Valencia is remaining as a right back, then to me it has to be a proper RW who will run like Antonio won't. Rebic won't do that.
His agent is trying everything to sell him for big money at the moment, because he has still the small hype since the DFB pocal final against Bayern.
Can't imagine a good CL club will sign him, especially for this money.

I rate him less than Shaqiri who was available for 10m...
50 for Rebic would be just brutal.

id go for dembele over rebic
Most definitely do not want
Hopefully Rebic is a smokescreen
Would not even be an upgrade over Lingard or Mata. Not worth Pursuing.
With only two weeks left of the window, looks like we're really upping the Ante.
If Jose wants him, sign him.
I feel like Jose has his excuses ready if we fail to sign players. He must make his bed and lie on it.

Back him or sack him is my mantra when it comes to managers.
And I do not rate this guy at all.
Hope so aswell, he's not a bad player but he needs to develop a couple of notches to match our ambition, well the ambitions of us fans atleast.
People want the manager sacked and are using a rumour he wants to sign Rebic to back this up?
I don't understand some people.

Horrible man, average player. I can't imagine him at United.
Coincidentally, as many as Willian got last season. Extremely encouraging signs.
Pretty much. This is the wrong signing, hope there isn't any truth in this one.
Would have to agree. Madness if we pay above 25 million for him.
What did he do?
Poor man's Bebé
He looked like a rich man's Jonathan Walters at the WC.
Would be a difficult guy to play poker with.
This. He is a thug. Alli/Suarez type.
Will be devastated if we sign this guy. Especially at the money quoted. Would be inexcusable from our board/club.
If we get this guy, we can forget about enjoying this season - Jose is seemingly targeting clogging workhorses over talented attacking players for that flank. He is a typical Jose player - big, strong, good engine, bit of a nasty streak (in my eyes, a prick, but that's just me - hated what I saw of him at the world cup, downright thuggish and lacking in talent).
Our transfer strategy is ridiculously bad for such a 'big' club.

50 mil for Rebic would be ridiculous.
Ridiculous.
Ridiculous.
105m euros, still attainable for us now they have signed Malcolm and dembele is unsure as to his standing in the team.
If Barca is open to selling Dembele we should be all over that, but since his name isnt Bale chances are Woodward wouldnt care.
A mid level bundesliga team literally signed him for about £2 million this summer.
Really? Wow, I didn’t know that. And the cheeky feckers now want to sell him for £40 million?
