Please let this deal collapse.
We need to be going for a different player profile. Not one who has a notoriously difficult agent and excessive wage demands. It's like we never learn...

For so many years we are watching the club overpaying for trash players. 1.3 billions spent in the last ten years and we are watching this kind of football. The line up consists of many trash players who wouldn't even make a top10 Prem team.
I'm not buying it anymore that the transfers are not being approved by the coach.
You just can't spend £30m on each of Schneiderlin, Lindelof and Baily, £90m on each of Lukaku and Pogba, £80m on Maguire £50m on AWB, £50m on Fred, £20m on Dalot, £30 on Amad etc. and you also don't renew the contracts of finished players with a pay rise, like you did with DDG, Jones etc. All of the transfer dealings so far have turned to be so wrong.
So if Arnautovic and Rabbiot sign for the club then they are players that Ten Hag has chosen and he must be held resp

Nobody seems to be in a huge rush to do this deal
This is Man Utd. We’re never in a rush to do any deal.
Sometimes that turns out to be a good thing.
Seems a fair, to be continued
It sure does. We have to be firm on wages here. It’s not like he has top clubs queueing up for him.
It's hilarious that this is now turning into a saga. We can't even get a midfielder Juve can't wait to get rid of over the line without complications.
Most of the time it isn’t. Especially when the squads in need of a major overhaul and we’re entering the last few weeks of the window having signed only one first team player.
I'd have taken him just because he's better than what we have but the wage he is asking for is just ridiculous. Who are the people negotiating for him and do they have their heads stuck in the clouds? Nobody in Europe is ever going to pay him that much.
It's our own fault for targeting a player whose agent (in this case his mother) is known for being quite formidable. They were always going to make some pretty hefty demands. Even an easygoing agent would realise we're desperate at this point.
This is the exact opposite of being pragmatic. The kid who throws his toys comes into mind. I mean, I can relate to you being frustrated about how things went this transfer window, I am disappointed as well, but we can't just sit and put our heads in the sand because it didn't go exactly the way we intended. There is no point in dying in beauty - if we just throw the season away we won't be closer to a potential CL place, we will have less chances of bringing in commercial partners and so on.
I agree with many on here, the Rabiot deal has damage potential. But lets face it, we won't just sit on the money to double the spending in a year. Thats naive BS. Nobody asks for the club to do bad business now, but not doing any business would be the worst thing to do. I get the concerns about Rabiot, I would have hoped to bring in somebody who instills more hope but beggers can't be choosers. Maybe he will suprise us and if not, at least we tried. As long as wo don't sign him on a longterm deal, we should be fine.
Fun times ahead when mommy Rabiot publicly calls out coaches and players on the team.

He's far better than McFred mate it's not even close. I don't think that's necessarily a great barometer to go by but to say there's not a big difference is sacrilege. I'd say you can see the quality difference in the first half he plays in over either player.
Bro it’s not hard…. You gave me James Garner who’s not better than Rabiot and currently can’t displace McFred. So give me a suitable name and not your u proven fantasy.
This is a tough one, I don’t really want him, but we do desperately need body’s in midfield!
I just wonder how we ended up scrambling for an unwanted Juve player after a disappointing opening day loss. If it’s true, the manager wanted him, and this signing is on top of FDJ why wasn’t he already here?
Think we may be regretting this signing in the near future

No-one can convince me that Rabbiot is better than Kamara (free), he isn't even better than McFred ffs. Rabbiot and Arnautovic are Ten Hags choices and that makes me anxious for the future. The club is ovepaying for trash players all these years and we have ended up watching championship level football almost every week.
There are so many trash players in the lineup that wouldn't even play for a top10 Prem team.
The club is rotten and by the signs of it I don't see it changing in the foreseeable future.

Eriksen played upfront for the first 45 on Sunday and was total gash. It's fair to say ten Hag is still getting to grips with the squad at this point. Garner missed the vast majority of preseason through injury, so it's dumb to say he hasn't displaced McFred.

Why did he play upfront and what does that have to do with James Garner not being ready?
His mum even has that look about her which lives up to her battle axe reputation .
.Yep, he was shit last season so why ETH wants him I have no idea.
Struggling to convince fecking Rabiot to come, holy shit are we inept
Given he is good as a DM I just want it sorted, especially as we seemingly are incapable of finding anyone else to fill that role (or watched as everyone else got taken).

The most inevitable tweet ever
So you want us just to give him whatever wage he wants and not learn from previous mistakes.Struggling to convince fecking Rabiot to come, holy shit are we inept

This place is confusing.

She looks like these mums at the park who tells other parents that she will whoop your kid, if you don't discipline him.
I would like him to come purely because he would be an upgrade on McFred, but I want to club to hold firm and not keep giving out stupid wages even more.
He played Eriksen upfront cos he's probably still getting used to the players at his disposal? Unless you expect him to play Eriksen upfront every game and continue with McFred because he did so in one game.
If true, that’s good. Offer him what we feel he is worth, maybe some incentives as well and take it or leave it.
We need to get back to having players here who want to play for us, they’ll always be paid well but not over the odds.
I want a DM. Give him a 3 year contract. Wages, of course should be reasonable but how can we not convince him to accept reasonable wages? Our negotiation team needs to really improve in convincing players to join. Its not all about the money being offered. We're seemingly failing with Frenkie and anyone else we're targeting.
He isn't a DM, he's more of an 8Struggling to convince fecking Rabiot to come, holy shit are we inept

Just got rid of one, don't really want another clown. or player with a mother as a clown.
I really don't want him, and I don't think the club are so keen as to pay him silly wages.Struggling to convince fecking Rabiot to come, holy shit are we inept

His best qualities are his defensive ones and his best performances came as a DM pretty much.
You can try and convince yourself
Good. Decent player but his mother is a battleaxe and will disrupt our already fkd dressing room.
Bayern have a fantastic midfield. He would not be guaranteed starting time there. He would still be a monumental upgrade for us though.
Can we back off now? There are plenty of better midfielders that are available.
