    Adrien Rabiot

    We've signed an instant impact established superstar in Coutinho for 160m euros and sky high wage and he's been underwhelming to put it kindly, yet signing 24 year old Rabiot for a fraction of that should lead to sacking?

    Jean-Clair Todibo

    It could make sense to sign him since he could be an opportunity in the market. But I haven't seen him play although no CB at that age has played as many games as him this season, so thats at least something. Hopefully Abidal knows him well.

    Jean-Clair Todibo

    Which teams have had two left footed CBs as a long term success? I genuinely dont know.

    Adrien Rabiot

    I dont think any of the youth players you hate (Alena, Oriol, Puig etc) will make it either. Which means nothing, since its very easy to say that they are all shit and everyone who isnt an established superstar is likely to be shit, but far more difficult to judge who makes it, which requires...

    Adrien Rabiot

    You have misunderstood. They are talking about gross wages. Do you honestly believe we pay TWICE what the richest clubs in the PL pay their top stars? You also said Messi is on 100m net. Thats about 7-8 times what the best paid stars in the PL are getting paid by their club.

    Adrien Rabiot

    Show us the sources then. You said Messi is 100m net including bonuses. You claim Dembele is on 20m net (almost 40m gross). These are absurd figures considering our annual revenue. The best paid players in the EPL are on 12-14m net including bonuses.

    Christian Mate Pulisic

    If he becomes a success, he'll earn them unbelievable amounts of money though. That price isnt based on talent alone.

    Adrien Rabiot

    We didnt get 70m for Digne and Mina. More like 53-55m. Rabiot's salary would be 10m net. Thats almost 20m gross we have to pay, or 100m over 5 years. Its not easy to offload that type of wage if he acts very unprofessionally. Thats the risk in this signing. But I think its a worthwhile risk...

    lol,what? We're not paying Messi 100m net yearly. Thats absurd.

    Jean-Clair Todibo

    None of those can be relied upon. We only have two CBs left (not counting Murillo). We need to rely on four. Umtiti's career might be over because of the injury almost a year ago and Vermaelen is probably the most injury prone player we've ever had.

    Adrien Rabiot

    Thats not true at all. He'll be at least 25 when we can make a judgement whether he has flopped for us or not. By that time, he could have been acting very unprofessionally. He would then have to make the decision to take a huge pay cut at another club. Is he the type of person to agree to that...

    Jean-Clair Todibo

    I dont think anyone believed we would sign De Ligt and De Jong in January, but I definitely think we have far less money to spend than most people think. We've spent an enormous amount of money and our squad is still ageing fast with very few highly valuable players. If we dont rejuvenate our...

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    We could have lost against RM without Dembele. He totally changed the game in the second half. Dembele has really been a big game player for us. Imagine if he had been as bad as Coutinho has been for us. Those 300m we spent would look much worse and could cause serious issues for us for years to...

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    Its a bit silly to go on and on about that when you praised Coutinho as an instant impact guaranteed success and you've constantly mocked and ridiculed what a joke of a player Dembele is. The reality is that Dembele has contributed much more to our team than Coutinho has. And the "instant...

    Adrien Rabiot

    I looked up Arthur's four starts in the CL. He made 1.75 tackles per game (he didnt start against PSV). Defense is far more than tackles and interceptions. You sound like when you wanted to blow 120m on Milinkovic-Savic and hyped up Andre Gomes because they were tall midfielders without knowing...

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    No, thats not right. Vidal started against Atletico and we conceded and Dembele won us that game as a substitute. Dembele has been a fixed starter since that game.

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    Ever since this guy benched Coutinho, we have stopped conceding goals. Does the Dembele threat cause the opposition to be more cautious when attacking? He certainly gives us something different which Coutinho does not.

    Frenkie de Jong

    Wasnt Lenglet 36m euros? Pretty sure that would make him among the top 10 most expensive CB of all times. One of the most hyped up La Liga defenders for sure before we signed him.

    Adrien Rabiot

    Cant you understand that they've played different positions and tasks? Rabiot is obviously the "clearance" guy when he plays in a midfield with Verratti and Draxler...Thats pretty obvious.

    Adrien Rabiot

    He doesnt suck defensively at all, but its also pretty useless to use tackles per game to prove anything. Rabiot has also played DM in the CL, with Verratti and Draxler as the two other guys in midfield, unlike the players you compare him with. Naturally he is going to be the defensive guy among...
