apparently 120k a year is pretty reasonable nowadays, so a 48m investment Is considered mid level
Adrien Rabiot | signs 1 year deal at Juventus. See you all next year

Yeah that's nonsense, there has been no blow up with France and no stories with Juventus either.
Those same people complain about McFred week in, week out.People are finally coming around to this transfer
I'd take anyone to replace those two clowns.
so the on the pitch stuff at juve was made up, fair enough, more fool me for believing online reporting
same for France, but again, can’t say I have followed him week in week out.
Tbh I have no choice but to hope he is as world class as you believe. We are getting him and he is going to be on a major wage for five years, if he isn’t we are fecked anyway. We won’t be able to sell him, and we have to hope he suddenly starts playing like an upgrade of the player he was supposed to be 3 years ago. If he isn’t this team is only going one way and our new manager will pay the price in 18 months. I sincerely hope you are right
I don't care what he's said, if you're ETH you get on the blower and say we want you, and this is how we see you playing. Expectation set straight away and he can take it or leave it. I think if you do that there's less problem. I think players can change and they can come round to your way of thinking if you're a good and persuasive manager.
All players on 120k are hard to move on unless they work out.
Seems that way… like are the club purposely trying to wind up the fans even more…
Let’s assume he signs, where does he play? Is he busy enough to be the lone DM and free up Eriksen to be the ball player?
To be honest, as much as this one would be a a panic buy, I'm fecking fed up of McFred so I'll take it. As depressing as that may be, that's the point we've got to.
But FDJ is not a CDM either…it seems we are just looking for someone press resistant who doesn’t play through balls to their strikers with their first touch.
In that case we need a whole new team.
Rabiot has never had any issues defending, he has never been against it or refused to do so.
RIP John Murtough we barely knew him
what do you think he is going to say? Nah I don’t want a big wage and another signing on fee? If he wants he can just say yes EtH and when he turns up he can then say he doesn’t play there. What are you going to do? Surely better to pick him to play in a position you know he wants to play, accepting what his strengths and limitations are, especially if he has been so vocal previously. Why start His career on a bad footing?
There isn't a point where I suggested that he was world class. So don't try to pretend otherwise.
Still in Spain apparently, on the razz
Pogba + £15 million for Rabiot, sweet!
Yes he can do that. But alternatively perhaps he's not out to swindle us, con us, turn up, cause big problems. Why would that be his default setting? There is nothing even in his Juventus history that massively supports it. His mum has a word..so what, ETH is a big boy. I just think you're seeing every negative reading it this way.
My view is managers adjust players roles all the damn time. Its part of what a manager does when onboarding a player. Explain the project, explain his role. If he's not under illusions and you're honest, I think there's a pretty good chance you can get a tune out of him. I could be completely wrong and he'll play box to box anyway, who knows. I don't think ETH plays a traditional DM that sits and does little else, I just think Rabiot is skilled towards the defensive side so we will have to utilise that.
Yea i am the same.
I think that says ETH should be able to improve this team with Fred and mctominay in centre mid more than it says anything else
But their front 3 were ridiculously good.
I salute you for continuing to defend Rabiot. I gave up months ago. It just seems set in stone on this forum that he is toxic, doesn’t like to defend, causes rifts in the dressing room etc. Obviously no one can show you any sources for it but that doesn’t seem to matter.
In a wierd way he is a decent fdj back up if we consider both of their top strengths are carrying the ball through midfield
Liverpool in those Klopp early years were a lot more direct and very workman like in midfield.
EtH system requires the midfielders to get on the ball and effect the game
I watched him at PSG and was massively impressed by him at times. I can’t say I’ve thought the same since then though.
Maybe I’m just 20 levels below ETH, but I find it hard to believe Rabiot was on the list.
Perhaps he was. Either way, I don’t see another top 6 team signing him but I do trust in ETH. He might see something we don’t.

Rabiot is a good player. I'd take him here any day. A lot better than any of our options and a solid technical player.
I’m all for this to be honest. He’s a lot better than what we already have in CM bar Eriksen and from the sounds of it he’s seemed to have matured quite a bit.
Bring it on.
Bring it on.
So are we signing him to be the sitter in front of the back four where Fred played yesterday?
- Juventus sign Pogba on a free from Utd
- Utd buy Pogba back for £90 million

- Utd buy Pogba back for £90 million
- Juventus sign Rabiot on a free

Oh I'm not commenting about Laurens. I just enjoy any opportunity to laugh at that show cause it's genuinely terrible.
Tbf he was playing in a rubbish team.
Luckily he is coming into a well oiled machine now.
Having listened to the Talk of the Devils podcast and reading posts from @JPRouve I'm warming to this transfer.
Probably. And do you know what position he doesn't like ? You guessed it

I was somehow under the impression he was trouble (media). Then again we need characters in the squad. Remember a certain player who played with his collar up and came with a reputation?
This is what i was thinking. Last year Juve just about got top four i think, or at least they started really poorly.
The year before that inter won the title.
Id love to see his stats at PSG and when Juve were winning titles.
Having said that just Rabiot and no other MF signings would be an underwhelming summer.
After the nonsense against Brighton I'm open for anything at this point...
Doubt it, more likely as b2b
