Rebic has been so shit in Italy that he became a bit of meme.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
I watched him a bit last night against Torino, he was abysmal.
He looks like the best striker available this January after haaland and I’d hope we were also in for him but we know we can’t do 2 deals at once... He still has a lot of untapped potential and he’s a decent age.
Looks like he’s heading to Hertha Berlin.
We do need a striker, but top striker which is why we may wait until the summer. We just have to hope that Fernandes hits the ground running and that Martial and Greenwood get the service from him.
This move makes sense to me, unlike Bergwijn.
Kane spends a lot of time on the treatment table and Spurs have no backup. That opens the door for Piatek to get game time. Plus of course the Europa league next year, will be plenty of games around Europe for him to get game time.
And League/FA cups and such.

Their bid was rejected.
Di Marzio said half an hour ago he's closer and closer to Hertha so presume it's still on.
Will wait and see, could be down to where the players wants to go.
off to Hertha.
€28mio
€28mio
That seems like an underwhelming move for someone who’s scored 35 in 60 in Italy. Haven’t really seen him play though, so I have no idea how good he actually is.
if that €28m is true and given we need a striker we should be swooping in
The concern is that it looks like he failed when making the step up from Genoa to Milan.
Every striker fails at Milan. So that shouldn't hold any club back.

Looks like we're definitely in for a striker.
Surely bollocks? Why would he join them over us?
They're proper rich now, it's quite an attractive proposition and we probably weren't selling him a starring role with this loan to buy deal. I can see why he'd chose them.
It's not just that, it's that both us and Spurs offered a loan offers whereas Hertha offers definite transfer. Milan likes the second option better, Piątek is well aware that at Spurs his chances would be massively limited once Kane is back. For us he'd simply compete for the spot, at Hertha he's pretty much guaranteed a starting spot given their lack of good strikers.
It said ours included a obligation to buy so basically a permanent deal.
Pity we didnt get him. I would have taken him here with that deal
Talk about a dreadful football player. Good at tap ins sometimes i guess. The days of having a limited striker/forward in your side are long gone ( If you want to be a top team).
Tottenham had the same obligation, I presume that they simply need cash now and not in a year and a half.
The fact the PL clubs all agreed a loan was the best option speaks volumes. £28m isn't cheap if you're not convinced.
Not bothered.
I would've offered him 80k all day, that's not even Ashley Young money.
Loan or permanent he would've been useful as a CF.

Shame as I think he'd have done well for us with Bruno behind him and Mason / Rashford either side. He is very limited mind you, no it a player to everybody's tastes.
