Still not worked out positives or redeeming features of this signing. No ones been able to convince me. This shouldn't be the best we can do.
Who would you prefer as our number 2 midfielder signing?Still not worked out positives or redeeming features of this signing. No ones been able to convince me. This shouldn't be the best we can do.
Not my job to scout, babes.Who would you prefer as our number 2 midfielder signing?
Personally if we dont get De Jong I would go for Florian Neuhaus and Xaver Schlager.Who would you prefer as our number 2 midfielder signing?
Cop out. Our scouts are saying Rabiot.Not my job to scout, babes.
Yeah they sound greatPersonally if we dont get De Jong I would go for Florian Neuhaus and Xaver Schlager.
Has to be in addition to Frenkie, surely. It's not like we have tons of quality in the middle of the park. 2-3 midfielders wouldn't go amiss tbh.If this guy is our Frenkie alternative I'll start sobbing. It would be like the club's on a huge trolling mission
What’s with this weird ‘I’m not a scout’ nonsense, you don’t have to be to say ‘I’d like us to go for X’.Not my job to scout, babes.
This shouldn't be the best we can do.
Yeah, our scouts never get it wrong!Cop out. Our scouts are saying Rabiot.
Who did they get wrong?Yeah, our scouts never get it wrong!
We are Manchester United. We rarely sign players who football haven’t heard off…. We aren’t Nottingham Forest.It's not a case of scouting to come up with names like Rabiot though, is it? For me scouting implies actual research and beyond the surface discoveries.
I can quite happily give my opinion on players we shouldn't sign and should sign, without reeling off a list of names for either category
Schlager just moved to Leipzig this summer, so that's not an option.Personally if we dont get De Jong I would go for Florian Neuhaus and Xaver Schlager.
Football isn’t really played on ‘metrics’The same player who had better metrics in every single criteria than Rabiot last season? Hahahaha.
We don't want another Mctominay. That's the problem.
He's one of two they are planning to buy this summer. My presumption is that if we get frenkie then rabiot will play higher up in midfield than him. If we get SMS then rabiot will play deeper than SMS.Rabiot is not the solution for United. At best he's a slight upgrade for McT which isn't much really. United should have gone for alternative CM irrespective of whether we signed De Jong or not. There were some decent players on the cheap like Fabian Ruiz, Tielemans, Laimer, Soler, Kessie and Aouar whom we could have snapped and would have helped us not be as dependent on the De Jong deal as we are now.
Exaxtly how it would work. With Rabiot you also have a guy who’s positionally sound. So if Frenkie goes of on a run Rabiot won’t leave the midfield and defence exposed.He's one of two they are planning to buy this summer. My presumption is that if we get frenkie then rabiot will play higher up in midfield than him. If we get SMS then rabiot will play deeper than SMS.
Mönchengladbach and Leipzig. Xaver just moved to Leipzig earlier this year so it would be almost impossible. Doesnt change the fact that I would love him here :PYeah they sound great
Who they play for Auxerre?
Yeah I know. Would love him here anyway :PSchlager just moved to Leipzig this summer, so that's not an option.
Made up namesPersonally if we dont get De Jong I would go for Florian Neuhaus and Xaver Schlager.
don’t think we will get frenkie, if we had wanted him before the latest vibes, then we would have got him. Literally no reason for united not to have got him earlier if he was an actual target.Has to be in addition to Frenkie, surely. It's not like we have tons of quality in the middle of the park. 2-3 midfielders wouldn't go amiss tbh.
The All or Nothing series writes itself!Made up names
I’d go for Manuel Hung and Max Efforte
Manuel will offer us incredible penetration from deep and Max is a player who will run all day pressing
He is wanting 16m per year gross it would seem, hence why there is no agreement (equivalent to 165k per week net)hope he doesnt join on any high wage. Wil be impossible to move on should he turn shite quickly.
The problem is that Rabiot is not a very good player. Juventus fans are literally laughing at us for wanting him. It would be like Bayern bidding for McTominay sort of thingHe's one of two they are planning to buy this summer. My presumption is that if we get frenkie then rabiot will play higher up in midfield than him. If we get SMS then rabiot will play deeper than SMS.
I hope this is true.Manchester United's £15m move for Juventus' France midfielder Adrien Rabiot has stalled over the 27-year-old's wage demands. (Gazzetta dello Sport, via Mirror)
165 net is what - 370k gross in UK?He is wanting 16m per year gross it would seem, hence why there is no agreement (equivalent to 165k per week net)
You think Ruiz isn't coming to 2022 vintage United but Bellingham will next summer? gave me a good chuckle.Ruiz is going to PSG. So you can forget about that, no way is he picking 2022 vintage United over them.
I’d seriously take Herrera back for a season on loan and see who we can get next summer rather than panic buy Rabiot.
Save the cash for Bellingham and spend the season getting him tapped up ready to come next summer.

I think we'll move for SMS if we miss out on Frenkie. But I fear he'll be a 'club' signing rather than an EtH oneCan’t see us spending the money needed for SMS, and no actual links or even suggestion of links
I calculated it to be around that 16m per year165 net is what - 370k gross in UK?
Apparently wants too much money.He actually coming or what?
Not sure this makes sense when we're willing to pay more for Frenkie. We'll obviously not sign both, but the funds for Frenkie will land us SMS if need beCan’t see us spending the money needed for SMS, and no actual links or even suggestion of links
Genuinely think we will drop a 20m bid for tielemans, cheaper and easier to get, unlikely to turn us downI think we'll move for SMS if we miss out on Frenkie. But I fear he'll be a 'club' signing rather than an EtH one
brilliantApparently wants too much money.
I wouldn't mind it, but I can't see it to be honest. He's been available all summer, if we wanted him, we'd have surely moved early.... In fact, now I think about it I can see it happening actuallyGenuinely think we will drop a 20m bid for tielemans, cheaper and easier to get, unlikely to turn us down
I think most of us saw this comingbrilliant
