I still think there's a real chance of us getting FDJ. But, investing the level of emotion in this window, that some of you have exhibited, is a little ridiculous considering the decade we've had.
We started the new season with McFred, a false #9 (because we have no strikers available) and a home defeat. We then followed that up by trying to sign a cheap racist and a cheap malcontent. So just the usual stuff we have to endure as Utd fans tbh
So wait, did someone here post Scott Mctominay stats vs Rabiot, to say Scott is better?! Is that what were doing now? [emoji1787]
Sorry, I’ll try to be more positive… Maybe if United are bad enough, we’ll get relegated and this board will get shut down so I don’t have to listen to criticism from a half wit who though ending a username with an ellipses was a good idea. Better? If we were brothers, I would have smothered you in your sleep ages ago.
Same here. I don’t pay much attention to the Muppet season because of the constant let downs year after year. Not much interested in this player or that player until a player is actually announced because why should I be a glutton for punishment? I get enough of that just watching these clowns play during the season.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE 🚨💰 Chelsea are ready meet Barcelona's demands for Frenkie de Jong. Man Utd have had an agreement with Barca since July, but the decision will now be with the player.Full story 👇👇— CaughtOffside (@caughtoffside) August 11, 2022
one of the rags is saying Garner's future will be decided based on Rabiot which isn't farfetched. problem is it is just another thing being unnecessarily delayed if true. he could have and should have been on loan with Forest for opening weekend regardless. minimal minutes here do him no good
Facundo Pellistri will play for #mufc this season. He suffered a sprained ankle against Atletico Madrid, meaning a loan move has been ruled out. The estimated time of recovery is six to eight weeks #mulive [@diarioas]— utdreport (@utdreport) August 10, 2022
I guess there's still hope Adrien Rabiot's £15m move to #mufc is at risk of collapse due the demands his mother is making. [@MailSport]— The United Stand (@UnitedStandMUFC) August 11, 2022
You’re missing the point when it comes to their stat comparison (I didn’t post btw). I don’t think anyone will argue he’s worse than McT, we all know he’s better. The point is that he struggles in all the areas that McT also struggles. And he struggles with it in a better team with better surrounding pieces. The point is that we shouldn’t be aiming for just better than McT, we should be aiming for good enough to start in a top 3 team (which we aspire to be again).
Rabiot mum / agent refuses to deal with anyone other than Murtough (ie no intermediaries) and insists he flies out to her in Italy. Pretty clear who is in charge in these negotiations Cant say in this case I blame her or Rabiot tbh
He doesnt. Rabiot is a good passer and good under pressure, good receiving the ball in deeper positions. He doesnt hide from the ball. He can play a 1 or 2 touch game. This is the dumbest shit I've heard and its because Dave Howson told you so it must be true. Or some random dude tweeted it because it must be true.
Like I said before, I think the problem is that PSG and Juve Rabiot are so wildly different. It actually seems to be really common, this McT take. And Carl Anka has just come out on the Talk of the Devils podcast and said we’ve just sold a similar kind of player to Fulham. Really effusively saying that Rabiot is not a progressive passer, when he was hitting 7.4 a game at PSG.
Personally, I'm in the Rangnick camp of recruitment and have been since ADM came and went. I especially don't want a player who is a known problem child with a Karen mommagent. I don't want him for those two reasons, regardless of if he can be turned into his past self/what we need.
I think the problem isnt with any of the stats, its with the users, the posters. Its one thing to say you dont like him because of his reputation. Its another to do what Mizzou and Sofa do. This is why you cant the influx of stats is annoying. People dont even bother to watch football anymore. They get all they need from Steven Howson [], twitter and 5 minute youtube video's.
Fair. I the choice is Rabiot or no one, you're sticking with McFred? The problems with Rabiot have been mostly contract issues. Then the one incident with the French team.
I guess that comes down to what the terms of the contract would be. I know beggars can't be choosers but I'd prefer to get a handle on our wage structure after Ronaldo leaves. I still think we need to settle into a Dortmund style structure if we're going to have the owners we have.
