Adrien Rabiot

[Slartibartfast]

Ramsey was hugely praised by Juventus fans earlier in the season for his work rate, intensity, all round game.

Obviously since then his constant injuries have derailed his season.

When he's played, he's come off the bench more often than starting games. I don't think you want to be paying that sort of money to a squad player, no matter the reason for him being in and out of the lineup. Workrate and all is fine, but it's something you can say for players at Burnley and Aston Villa as well. A club such as Juventus with Champions League aspirations needs more. It's not like they were unaware of his injury history.

Wanted him before I knew about all the issues surrounding him. Now I'd rather go for someone else, still a talented player though.

I like Rabiot, I think he's a very good player, for me he seems to have made some poor choices so far in his career which means he hasn't really kicked on. Even going to Juventus given the competition there wasn't a great choice. For me, he needs to go somewhere that he's going to play every week, to become the mainstay of a team & really kick on.

Rabiot and Ceballos for 30m each would be incredible business. Both could be international regulars for Spain and Frabce in the next couple of years.

I'm not convinced we can attract Rabiot. No question of whether he is good enough.

i have not seen much on him tbh what would he offer us?

If Rabiot was so good he would be starting at Juventus.

People seem to think hes better than what he is based on watching him about 4 times.

He has a poor attitude. He isnt even young in terms of football. 23-24 isnt young in football. If you aren't established by then you have a problem.

Better going for a British player who plans on staying in the premier league all his career and wants to make a name for himself.

Intensity, calm on the ball, tough tackling and covers a lot of ground. Not the most incisive passer, but very good with short range passing and moving the ball quickly.

I thought he was brilliant at PSG until that fatal last season.

Do you apply the same theory to Pepe? Below Arsenal level because he isn't starting. It might be true with Rabiot, but a very flawed logic.

Cuisance, whom I suggested us to buy in previous transfer windows would be the future regular of France. Not Rabiot.

And Tonali will be the future of Italy.

At the moment I would say that Pepe hasnt proved himself yet. He hasnt shown anything in the last 4 months that would suggest he is a top player. He may show it in the future but to date he hasnt.

So in other words yes I do think the same. Do you not?

sorry but that is just bunch of crap.
There is a list of 100 players who sit or sat on the Juventus bench and other bigger clubs and were/are class players.

Also, there is an even bigger list of players aged 24 who were still not considered class players yet they did become one.

 

[14Henry]

Who wasnt a good player at 24 that became a world class player?

 

[Garrincha]

220+ PSG appearances & 700+ minutes for Juve this season is enough for me to think he could benefit our dire team & midfield.

Xhaka kid could benefit our midfield right now. Worst midfield roaster in history of PL. Really hope we are looking to get rid of Guendouzi, Torreira and Xhaka.

 

[El Duderino]

What salary is he on? Time for loan with an option to buy fc to go hunting.

Think the prices being quoted are low for a player with that much hype around him. Juve must be desperate to get his possibly massive wages off the book.

Hopefully we can help them by signing this poor footballer on massive wages. I mean not like we don't have enough of poor footballers on massive wages already!

I don't think Pepe's start here is indicative of his level. Doesn't he have the most assists in our first team? I also think Pepe is more than good enough for a mid-table Prem team (which we sadly are now).

Is Rabiot good enough to be a bonafide starter at an elite European team like Huve? Jury is out to be honest.

 

[truth_hurts]

Who wasnt a good player at 24 that became a world class player?

Luis Suarez. I'm sure there are plenty.

 

[14Henry]

Luis Suarez. I'm sure there are plenty.

In 2008-09 he scored 22 goals in 31 appearances.
In 2009-10 he scored 35 goals in 33 appearances.

Now considering hes 32 that would indicate that before 24 he was scoring a huge number of goals. He was a top player in the dutch league.

Try again.

Dutch League. Good Ebening and good night our kid. How did he fare in his first 6 months in England?

Or even 4 months as that what we're judging Pepe and Rabiot on.

Rabiot is a notch above our midfield options.
