Fair enough, if he really is worse than Rabiot then he can't be very good, must have just had a purple patch for Marseille.
@OverratedOpinion a lot of clubs are more attractive than us, I was just pointing out, that if we start talking to players earlier we may start having a chance atvthese players, you never know, Ten Hag may have convinced him to join us if we had started to court him earlier, as it was Bayern got in there early and no other club had a chance.
It's an opinion I have, that talking to players a year in advanced will give you more of a chance of getting a good deal like Bayern got, unlike our deal with Rabiot.
