Top 10 then.
g = window.googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; window.googletag = googletag; googletag.cmd.push(function() { var interstitialSlot = googletag.defineOutOfPageSlot('/17085479/redcafe_gam_interstitial', googletag.enums.OutOfPageFormat.INTERSTITIAL); if (interstitialSlot) { interstitialSlot.addService(googletag.pubads()); } });
Top 10 then.
Anyone know what he's on at Juve?Isn't he a a bit of an agitator with a massive ego, but often not much to back it up?
Sounds like exactly what we need, 5 year deal £350k please!
He made 227 appearance for PSG from 17-24 and 129 for Juve from 24-27 - hardly a massive difference, he cried to his mum about wanting a star role when he never justified it.Not being content with being a bench player is mental weakness?
Yeah I just did a quick search to see what I'd said about him over the years (when I watched him a bit more) as I can't remember now. But it wasn't good.He is decent, he can do pretty much everything at a good level. It's unimpressive but it's done at a good level. In a very good team he is a bench option, for us likely a starter.
Was there ever a young player whose career was damaged through too many starts?You want to go all in on a young player who has zero experience of men's football? That would be doing him no favours at all and could really damage his career. He needs handling carefully, 5-10 starts and some sub appearances this season and let's see how he goes.
We'll have to agree to disagree then, and I hope I'm not proved right if he does come here.He complaining about playing time when he was 17-18 and asked to be loaned if he wasn't used, which was the right thing to do. The 2018 thing is big mistake that he made, owned and was forgiven by Deschamps who is fairly stubborn.
Neither of these things have anything to do with the image that you are trying to portray.
Just one last thing, you seem to think that he left PSG due to playing time or being considered a star?We'll have to agree to disagree then, and I hope I'm not proved right if he does come here.
There are two bandwagons going on with our current sh*t predicament: it is Allegri’s fault vs it is the players’. If you consider these same players were doing pretty bad with Sarri and Pirlo as well, you have your answer, even if Allegri may be a past-it manager by now.It is. Bepi's point is an exaggeration based on underwhelming performances from the team in the past 18 months but none of these players are terrible, they are from it.
Yes, i'd rather play him and see than spunk more wasted money on another mercenary that won't be up to it.You want to go all in on a young player who has zero experience of men's football? That would be doing him no favours at all and could really damage his career. He needs handling carefully, 5-10 starts and some sub appearances this season and let's see how he goes.
Then we better call Saul.We could always just loan Saul
Absolutely. He is not good enough for a Top 2 team but for us he will be miles better than what we have. Right now we are staring at 6-8 IMO with the team we have if EtH can do his magic. For around £20-25m he is fineYou'd be surprised at how some of these midfielders at other top teams look like they're not good enough, but will come here and look quality amongst our dross.
I am abolutely behind signing a few players like this right now IF it means we can bring a few in before the window closes. Or perhaps even reinvest the FDJ money on a really good attacker or two. We simply need to get McFred out of there.
How many times have we heard this though? “Oh just get so and so now and address it properly next year”. We said this last year when we got Ronaldo. And the year before with Cavani. And the year before with Ighalo. Now here we are with Arnautović saying the same thing. At some point you have to stop buying 34 year olds and address the actual problem. It just points to an extreme lack of planning, something Murtough was supposed to fix in his role as DoF.Rather strange that everyone has been crying for upgrades for the short term and this is just that . I think you can sign him and then plan over the next year or so about bigger signings
Eriksen is proof of it. He's never been a top calibre player, but look how he stands out here for being technically proficient.Absolutely. He is not good enough for a Top 2 team but for us he will be miles better than what we have. Right now we are staring at 6-8 IMO with the team we have if EtH can do his magic. For around £20-25m he is fine
I like how Murtough is now the scapegoat... Maybe this is all Arnold is giving him! Arnold is the one who has replaced Woodward and maybe he's just as shit?Murtough and his scouts are a fecking embarrassment
Pogba is a crock, we all know… at least, Rabiot shows up and plays game after game.Juve take Pogba on a free then we pay them for a fecking crap midfielder that’s been on the transfer list for 2 months.
I'd be all for it. Somebody needs toJesus wept. Last thing we want is his mum giving the players a kicking after every game. What a nightmare that women is.
He’s in the last year or his deal.Loan with a buy option of 10m. Otherwise, no. Juve are cheap, apply the same to them.

Tbf Greenwood was supposed to be the next RVP and we all expected Rashford and Martial to do more . Between those 3 and Sancho and now Garnacho coming through you would have expected more than what we are getting .How many times have we heard this though? “Oh just get so and so now and address it properly next year”. We said this last year when we got Ronaldo. And the year before with Cavani. And the year before with Ighalo. Now here we are with Arnautović saying the same thing. At some point you have to stop buying 34 year olds and address the actual problem. It just points to an extreme lack of planning, something Murtough is supposed to counteract.
So win winHe’s in the last year or his deal.
Would be amusing for a while, admittedly.I'd be all for it. Somebody needs to
Signing for PSG apparentlyWhy not Fabian Ruiz?
This season has already turned into a disaster!!
Does he need to stand out to us or show qualities that Ten Hag thinks he can mould and use in our team?Or footballing excellence.
How has Rabiot been for Juve and has there been an examples of him having an inflated ego?There are two bandwagons going on with our current sh*t predicament: it is Allegri’s fault vs it is the players’. If you consider these same players were doing pretty bad with Sarri and Pirlo as well, you have your answer, even if Allegri may be a past-it manager by now.
He’s going to PSG isn’t he?Why not Fabian Ruiz?
This season has already turned into a disaster!!
But, the word was the overhaul was done already? Whether it has been done or not, is it the best they come up with?Don't think anyone rates him particularly highly, and clearly the scouting team needs a complete overhaul.
But any player who is an improvement on McTominay should be considered at this point.
