Tactical versatility (able to play comfortably as both a 6 and an 8 and even a 10 if pushed)
I still think Tchouameni will be available later in the window for a reasonable fee. €86m… Hopefully we are involved in that under new ownership.
Madrid willing to sell Tchouameni?
From what I read if Mbappe is an option this summer, they will sacrifice him.
Were you given a reason? Warning for that is just weird.I got a mod warning for quoting the fontaine 'difficult personality'/redcafe meme in all caps (i.e it's original form), in response to someone saying Rabiot is a difficult character
Seems like my post was deleted too.
Nobody actually wants him. He has been available and able to sign a pre contract with any team since January and wanted to leave but no-one has come forward with the money. only Juve are willing to play it due to Allegris weird fetish for him.
Or maybe we did and he asked for even more money than last time, knowing that he was coming for free this time…
You’re not wrong!
Unlikely I agree, but not impossible!
Yeah either would be great signings
Indeed. That’s why I don’t like it when people say - “just get him on a free next year”. It is rarely that simple.
Yeah that's a possibility
Di Marzio is spot on about Italian stuff,he is definitely staying after that tweet
We certainly don't, but the possibility of McFred as squad players for next season could slowly gain momentum before August, if none solutions taken.
The reason was for posting in all capital letters...but that was the original meme post
Clearly we weren't as interested this summer or didn't meet his mother's demandsHe's a good and realistic target. We really should be in for him if the wages aren't too outrageous..

Yeah he divided opinion but could have been a useful signing as played a few different positions
That’s how those feckers have managed to stick around for so long. Every transfer window, someone at the club says “if we crash and burn there’s always McFred”.
Honestly no one gives a feck if you don't say where you read it.

What a lovely chap you seem. Having a bad day or are you always this rude and aggressive?
You can type it. And I am lovely, just annoyed as many others would be at how many posts just go off gossip shit. Which is why generally it's always best to say where its read.
Again I'd question the source but if true a very good move for a top quality cm, I'd love to see us get Kessie alongside him from barca who hardly use him. Two versatile cms.
Franck Kessie? There is a reason Barca wants to get rid. Average CM at best. We have too many already.
Moving on from Mount, I imagine.
I was thinking this but what was our play, Mount for £60m max and another CM for £20-25m, or Caicedo for £75-80m and Rabiot for free?
I think we probably just wanted to see where we ended up with Mount first, but that's not gone the way we thought. Rabiot was likely always an option, as we went for him in January, so it's probably just a case of timing.
Nah he's a good cm just playing in the wrong team as he's not a tiki taka type player, there's a reason he was in demand before he left Milan, he add some physicality to cm as well as good abilty on and off the ball.
True but I thought we could offer Rabiot a contract from January onwards?

This would be risky because Rabiot could have signed a new contract or signed for another club at anytime over the past months while we were pissing about failing to get any deals done.
That's true, but remember we had Sabitzer, who I doubt will be here next year. He has recently been discussing with Juve about renewing, so maybe he's not happy with how that's going and asked us to make a proper offer?
