This -- if FdJ falls through. That means we will have a bit of our budget left for a striker.
And on a huge salary and is now injured again.
Thats cause he doesn't. Not a great passer, not a great dribbler, not a great tackler.On the optimistic side he's coming here hopefully with something to prove, he's more emotionally mature perhaps than a few years back , he doesn't want his career to go to waste. And we get a different midfield option to the dreaded McFred duo.
On the downside, I see people seemingly struggling to describe what he really excels at
Yes but at this stage of the window, with less realistic opportunity of replacing them before the window closes, the prices will be higher. Neves for instance would cost a packet at this stage. And of course we dont know that all the players youve listed were under consideration. Sangare for instance seems to not be of interest for whatever reason if some of the previous tweets have any reliability.
So he looks like a professional football player. That's a start i guess.
You think the thickos in the United hierarchy can conjure up such an elaborate plot?
So lets not talk about his current regression? Ok
Firstly I didn't realise we had so many people who watch other leagues -- I think I have seen Rabiot play once. So I can't offer any opinion one way or another.
what is a system that fits him? He has said before he doesn't want to play as a DM. which leaves us in the same places as we are now, except we have another box to box midfielder on high wages
or people are listening to fans of his last two clubs, watching videos of him and asking what does he do, and where is he going to play.
he is the de Jong alternative, not sure he wants to be a DM, but thats where we want him to play
I understand his regression, however, isolating one season's passing statistics and then forming a general narrative of his passing ability on it is misleading. Did he have four consecutive seasons of 90s and near 90 % by accident? Obviously not.
He has good hair. Great for the Manchester United Official Hair Shampoo ambassador role.
Isn't it possible that last season was an anomaly, seeing that his previous seasons were alot better in this specific category?
A couple of french fans here think he will do the job. But that's a small sample size.
I am hoping he's not the alternative, and we get de Jong and another midfielder, possible Rabiot and we will see the end of Fred and McTominay starting .
Previous coaches that worked with him said that DM was his best position. His own unwillingness to play in his optimal position is a sign of his immaturity, I suppose.
Surprised that the French rate him considering their recent results with him in the team.
He certainly looked a better player at PSG. Ten Hag might feel he isnt being best utilised under Juve's tactics and that he can get him back on song.
Yep. People see what they want.
Same people making excuses for Rashy's poor 18 months.Yep. People see what they want.
92, 91, 89 and 90% in previous seasons, but, because he had one season at 82%, let's focus on that.
What he did in the France team probably should be erased from memory, with the players he had around him doing the creative/fancy work. No way he's going to get the time and space he's used to.
Well if thats the case we will be playing him as a box to box midfielder then?
Yeah I would be more willing to give him a chance to prove me wrong than Arnautovic.His mum is the biggest problem with this deal and he cannot be the only midfielder we sign in the next few weeks either.
Yeah I haven't really seen him play... but i'm just going to assume he's as good as Emmanuel Petit as he's got the long hair and the tall figure
Yeah him being the only one has to be unthinkable after that garbage midfield showing yesterday
Your data (19/20,20/21) are telling us he and McT are twins.
More likely a sign of his ego and desire not to have to do all the running, DM is not a sexy position. I cant remember the quote now, think it was Redknapp who said all the worst young players claim they are a number 10, or behind the striker
Nah, I think we will see him and Tielemans. Which might be interesting as Tielemans does not get back well, and Rabiot wants to play as a B2B
Good starting point!Yeah I haven't really seen him play... but i'm just going to assume he's as good as Emmanuel Petit as he's got the long hair and the tall figure
