Hi Ed002,

Are the reports of Rabiot wanting United based in truth? I can’t help to feel like this is another power play for contract negation on end.

Thanks as always.

{Ed002's Note - Adrian Rabiot (CM/DM) Juventus are looking to replace their midfield misfits. They are looking to sell and move off the wage bill players they no longer want to fund replacements they have already identified. As a free agent, Rabiot will, like every other player, be offered to Newcastle. A third party has been instructed to find him a new home and whilst he could have been used in part exchanges previously he has let his contract run down and will leave as a Free Agent in the summer.

I don't know anything about rumours of what he wants.}

Now it suits Rabiot to move to United, after one last big pay day.
Jog on mate that ship sailed two years ago.

Would actually be a shrewd transfer unless we break the wage structure. Good foil for Mainoo and Mount. Reliable, physical, mobile, left footed.

I think he is a super player. Not unlike Carrick. He's never lasted at epl pace and 29 so it's a tough call. Older heads will be required. So there are good arguments on either side.

If he can play the out-and-out DM role it’s not a bad piece of business on a free. He supposedly comes with a bit of a circus around him, but which player doesn’t these days.

As a player he'd be a very good signing, especially on a free. He has the right sort of profile that we need in midfield, and he has top level experience.

The question marks are over his meddling mother and the problems she has caused at previous clubs. As well as what his wage demands would be.
