Aurelien Tchouameni | signs new contract til 2031, to be official after the World Cup

Makes me want him more tbh, I like players with a bit of an edge who are also class on the pitch.
 
We said to him, come here and if Onana and Rashford try to come back into the dressing room, you can knock them the feck out. While your at it, you can knockout Ugarte as well.


Hope we don't antagonize him, he might drop Wilcox too

So what's actually happening at Madrid? Some sort of Mbappe cliq?

Let's say it this way. Earlier this season Valverde was rumoured to be one of the player that had an issue with Xabi Alonso while Tchouaméni was rumoured to be one of the players backing him.

This report corroborates what you’ve just said:

 
Tchouameni sounds like a good lad

- didn’t appreciate how some of the players treated Xabi

- tried to peace it up with Valverde for the greater good

- ended up piecing him up, for the greater good

Bring him to OT.
 
Why were a good chunk of the players so anti Alonso? He seemed to be doing fine to me.
 
Yeah with this fallout this has legs, might get it over the line.

By most reports he wanted to introduce more structure and intense training sessions than they were used to under Ancelotti.

The players who were reportedly against him aren't the sort of players who take kindly to being told to change their habits especially after winning as much as they had...
 
Getting my hopes up... This would be an unbelievably good signing. A huge accelerator on where I'd expect us to be and really raises the ceiling of what this side can be. An absolute dream signing if we can pull this off.

Tchouameni, mainoo and Bruno midfield trio is brilliant on paper. Add someone like Mateus Fernandes for the depth and that's a crazy improvement.

If reports are correct, selfishness. The main players accused of that are Valverde, Vinicius and Bellingham.
 
If it makes the deal easier to do, get him in. I think he's the best candidate to replace the defensive side of the game we'll be losing from Casemiro anyway
 
Well they’re certainly not going to let go of Valverde so maybe this one is actually possible.

He asked them to work hard and tried to dictate tactically to them but many of them believe that is below their pay grade.
 
Why wouldn’t they? They’ve let better players than him go in the past. Outside of his performance against city in the CL he’s been pretty average this season.
They must keep Valverde and punish tchaumeni. By making him an example and selling him to Utd. On the cheap of course.

Nope, he is not the CM they also need, yet average? not at all. As a box to box he was great
 
As concerning as this relationship is, it's also something that can probably be remediate.
 
Tchouameni certainly the better player now, but something in me still wants Baleba above all. Higher ceiling and all that, perhaps. His speed across the ground, with and without the ball makes him my preferred choice, even over Tchouameni (who I would of course be very happy with).

Because of the two he’s more of a fan favourite. That might not be their prerogative but Valverde seems the safer of the two from the outside.
 
All i want to know is he press leaker or not. We don't need another Garnacho or Lingard.
 
I think there has been one in here even. And I’m not talking about Balotelli-bad, but more in terms of how he apply himself on the pitch. If you have never seen these opinions on him you should really read up.
Where does this come from? By all accounts, his mentality is extremely good and is really professional. Casemiro-like. Very resilient to criticism too, should look up up his interview and see how he has gone from being booed to being a very good player for them.

Because he’s absolutely one of their undroppable/best players. There is no chance they sell him. I would have him at United in a heartbeat otherwise, he’s unreal.
 
Valverde being left in a wheelchair is wild :lol:
Saw that Valverdes wife is a racist scumbag too. Well done Tchouameni. Sign him up
 
Everyone wants some level of fight in their players, just not sure it's this kind of fight.
 
Does anyone remember who Roy Keane punched in the stomach in front of Fergie, in the Utd dressing room. Was it Gabriel Heinze?

He then apparently went in really hard on Keane in training the next day. Keane turned around to him and said "what happens in the dressing room, staying in the dressing room", what happens on the training ground, stays on training ground" and walked off.

Where is the original source from Ben Jacobs for that statement/tweet? Can't find it.
