please don't do this.. he is BAD.
Not sure he did since he signed Eriksen and is after FDJ?Ten Hag also thought McFred is good enough.
2020/21 Rabiot was:That was last season though. Check the season before that. Much better. If ten Hag can get a tune out of him, he would be good player to have. Massive gamble though.
He'll fit right in thenFrom a purely football perspective I've never been impressed with him, not for France, Juve or when he was at PSG. Not to say he's a bad player but distinctly average whenever I've watch him and rarely a stand out player.
It would be more about who replaces Fred. Not everything is about De Jong.
@JPRouve does he replace McT or Fred for you?
Pretty much yesI think he had your standard young lad, lack of professionalism at points, but hardly this toxic attitude being painted here.
It's Ten Hag targeting these playersI think I could do a better job that Murtough.
Arnautovic, Raboit....feck me sideways.
Your right, not everything is about de Jong. But Fred is clearly seen as the internal answer to us not getting him. Hence his position yesterday.
I'm more frustrated by a complete lack of foresight in finding players to fill these position's. The scouting department are either ignored, or doing nothing.
Instead, we're dancing around the European transfer merry-go-round for cast offs.
It was well established that he was prepared to with 'what we have' if the right player isn't available.Not sure he did since he signed Eriksen and is after FDJ?
So for example Rabiot Eriksen? Don't think McT and Fred are great distributors, though Fred might be a bit betterThe one that is supposed to press, tackle and carry the ball more than distribute. Rabiot isn't a distributor but he is good at the rest.
We literally just got rid of Pogba. Expecting to be linked with Balotelli next.
Rabiot has never caused any issue in a dressing room.
The links were there mate. Where were you?feck me what's next?
Links to Brian fecking Brobbey?
Which makes it even more absurd we spent the vast majority of our budget on yet another center back.We are skint compared to our rivals.
Why are you lumping Rabiot in here?Same people who put us through years of Pogba and Lingard didn't think that was enough, now they want to bring in another two bellends in Rabiot and Arnautović.
Why don't we try and coax El Hadji Diouf to coach the rest of the team to be cnuts too, no doubt they'll announce Greenwood as like a new signing if he gets away with it.
United are making it difficult to support these bunch of cretins as it is.

Fred would plays further forward and Rabiot will be the sitter in front of defense I thinkThe one that is supposed to press, tackle and carry the ball more than distribute. Rabiot isn't a distributor but he is good at the rest.
So, think Matic without the passing ability?Rabiot is mainly a defensive midfielder and a good one. He is very good at carrying the ball but has one pretty big weakness, he hesitates to make certain forward passes in tight space.
Maybe for the FDJ role? Why couldn’t he have meant Eriksen since he spent the second half there yesterday?It was well established that he was prepared to with 'what we have' if the right player isn't available.

I think the short answer to this is we can’t afford 65m on De Jong plus 2 40m+ attackers and an expensive CM. We need some cheap signings.2020/21 Rabiot was:
57 attempted passes per 90 (better than McTominay, still slightly below Fred who averages 58);
90% passing accuracy (much better, more Matic levels than anyone else in our midfield);
Progressive passes 4.01 (better, puts him around 60th percentile or so, still slightly lower than Fred).
So basically if he gets back to more of his 2020/21 type of form, we’d have a midfielder who can pass to a similar level of Fred, have the stature of McTominay, and be stronger in the defensive areas of the pitch with his positioning, tackles, and pressing.
Just… very underwhelming. Arnautovic and Rabiot are the links after a massive opening day upset.
Are we… broke?
Or Piqué.Maybe we bring Rooney back to handle his mum
Yes please. I quite like him as a footballer
