I've never seen him have a good game. It's probably not a valid sample size, but he's one of those where I must have missed the great ones since he seems to be floating around top clubs.
Adrien Rabiot
- Thread starter Someone

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood), Imran (@Annihilate Now!) and Colm (@Duafc) talk about the lack of incomings so far at Manchester United, what we're hoping to see transfer wise in the next few weeks (both in and out) and lay out what our current expectations are for Ten Hag's first season.
Also, we see a long awaited return of Imran's Stupid Game.
Where’s the story in the Athletic?
Reminds me of Lassana Diarra played for Arsenal, Chelsea and Madrid so you would assume he was a world beater but in reality he was just a decent player.
We need midfielders that's as far as this goes.
I’ve watched him plenty and he’s a painfully average player with a languid style of play. Never looks like he’s giving it his all on the pitch. Technique wise, he’s just a deluxe Scott Mctominay.
Hope we don't go in, but some would take him for 15m.
Something Chelsea would do.
No one should be paying anything for him, one year reamining on his contract and must be earning a lot after his free transfer.
He isn't worth anything more than his wages.

Newcastle on line one
Can see Everton making a move but I think he'll go for about 10 million.
Oh God. No.
Woody would have been all over this.
Leicester to replace Tielemans is my guess.
Newcastle
Better overall player than Mc Tominay and better on the ball than Fred. Won't take more than 6-8 Millions per year, so don t really understand why we would say no.
Only issue is his mother, but I won't be against a duo him and you know who...
At 15M, it's a big yes.

For the quoted price he seems to be good value to provide competition and depth in CM. Just don't know what his wage demand is. I just can't see Arsenal can offer him more than 150k per week as squad player.
Sadly, Rabiot is exactly the type of player I think that we are likely to end up signing...
I thought we wanted to clear the dressing room of underachieving divas? Hard pass, not anywhere near good enough and too much baggage.
Please no.
I'm sure Newcastle can snap him up
Can't see him at United
Expect us making a last day panic bid of 30m after failing to sign FDJ all summer.
I am sure Arteta will look at him. After all Arsenal was interested in Arthur Melo back in January so Arteta wants another CM in the team for depth. 15M seems reasonable for the risk.
Let them, then we can nab Kanté
De Jong is our Fabregas. Rabiot will be our Fellaini
Arteta would likely steer way clear over Rabiot. He doesn't want a cirucs.
Is his mom/agent still an issue? Rabiot is a deep lying CM who can play along with Xhaka/Partey in a midfield 2 with Odegaard as #10. A good squad option for 15m. He is 27 so he should be fully developed as a player already. Coach should know by now what he can bring to the team. I know nothing about Arsenal's transfer business but 15m seems like a good budget option.
