Is he?

He’s a very very good player and certainly comfortably better than any midfielder in our ranks. It’s debatable whether he’s outright World Class outside of Liverpool’s system but he’s very close to it if not.

Lmao.

They play in a system which benefits them, individually none of them are better than Rabiot.

But what do I know, Indian experts like Xperd knows better.

Lol...Rabiot really ain’t all that.

he’d walk into most sides, that’s for sure

So would Rugani, yet you refuse to take him all the time

 

[Enron]

Willams is killing it tho

but seriously, people underestimate our midfield all the time however, they’re all pretty good and play well for their National teams. Look at Gini’s performances at the national level.

Rugani doesn’t even start for a secondary French club

 

[Robee]

He was labelled the next Vidal by tuz, but okay, fine. McKennie will be our Vidal.

Did I say that or are you trying to make me say that? You said he wouldn't even be bought 'though.

 

[LiquidPLP]

Locatelli + Aouar for me.

Pogba is not possible, I don't know were this one is coming from. How can anyone expect Juve to commit to huge wages for Pogba while the club is going exactly opposite direction?

 

[Orgut]

Just offer Man Utd Rabiot in exchange.
Rabiot is good but isnt the pressing type and he lacks the final ball or shooting abilities.
It would be a win for both sides as Rabiot earns a lot.

who do you mean by both sides? manure surely would be happy with a player who "isnt the pressing type and he lacks the final ball or shooting abilities", yet "earns a lot"

You know very well that there is zero chance to get Wirtz..he is close to extend like Diaby and ll stay at Leverkusen for some more years. Nobody ll get him in the near future

Man Utd will get a player who is not whining about leaving them every two weeks and their Pogba`s wages are way bigger than Rabiot + Rabiot would fit this Man Utd quite well.
Rabiot is a good player but he needs to play in a certain philosophy which Juve no longer have.
Pogba isnt exactly performing miracles at Man Utd so they get a younger and probably better player for their use.
We get a player that can make the difference and link our mid to our attack
Man Utd no longer needs this type as they have B.Fernandes who is doing well for them.

This is why its a win win.

 

[Robee]

Rabiot is only really good as a mezz'ala so he'd be wasted there just like Pogba. Man U don't use that. And we don't either...

 

[U Picciriddu]

Locatelli + Aouar for me.

Agresti started suggesting him after what Raiola said in TS. Agresti usually doesn’t do such videos, nor is he confirming that the are negotiations going on. But he believes that the board will try if even off the odds are small.

So who knows.. it’s seems quite likely that Khedira and Bernardeschi will leave, besides that hopefully Pogba is willing to accept lower wages as Morata did. With the new tax rules and a creative loan-obligation deal this transfer could become reality.

I’d be very happy with Aouar or Locatelli, but thinks that Pogba (if he somewhere reaches his old level), would be someone who we need more instead of the other 2. Aouar also very interesting but I want to see Kulu for some games in that position.

Not if Pirlo keeps clinging on to this system.

Which system is he clinging to?

The current hybrid, whatever you like to call it, with 2 pivots in front of the defence.

He has used a number of different formations already.

What would you like to see instead? I'm gonna guess 4-3-3.

I think people fixate too much on systems.

Anyway I'm sure if he had Pogba he'd want to make full use of him

The formation is not as important. The tactical system is and he hasn't used a number of systems at all. It has always been the same. Always. He even said so himself.

I did not say I wanted to see something else btw. I said this one wasn't built for Pogba. And our team is not perfectly set-up for any system or formation. It has holes all over the place.

Hmm, i think it's just a matter of him trying to fit all our best (form) players together while maintaining balance. I don't see why Pogna should have trouble playing in our midfield as the LCM

Because he has shown no willingness to defend for about 3 seasons.

Because it's a very limiting and defensive role for Pogba. It's not a box-to-box role at all. And that's where he thrives the most. Paying a huge salary for a square peg in a round hole, is dumb. Even if his name is Pogba. If Pirlo adapts, fine but else it's just more proof we never learn and keep buying 'market opportunities' instead of buying what we actually need.
