Bit of a weird thing to post after the flurry of stuff that has come out today really.

Stuff has been coming out all summer though? This should of been wrapped up ages ago.

The Chelsea rumours are dying down now... to the point where they're apparently looking for alternatives? I dunno if its true or not

Hopefully it is. Really want us to sign him but I thought if it was gonna happen then it would of by now.

Can't wrap something up when the player involved is adamant he doesn't want to move at that moment in time?

We can't go over and physically drag him here can we

How should it have been? Because that's what you want? Of course in a perfect world, but that was never ever going to happen in this particular saga.

We’ve just allowed another team to become interested though and then there’s 50/50 on who he chooses.

Has he said he wants to move now though?

I kind of do believe it though. Even if "anyone with a bit of.." was hyperbole, admitted. All three of them are mentally weak though, is my suspicion, doesn't sound like a good midfield mix at all to me.

I haven’t seen enough of Rabiot to know if that’s true of him. De Jong and Eriksen don’t seem mentally weak to me; they seem like intelligent, canny players.

in terms of overall balance, I’m expecting Rabiot to provide ground coverage and a bit of steel but I don’t know him well enough to be confident about that. I always said a Rice type would go best with FDJ- a guy who can play the hard tackling defensive anchor or switch to a dynamic box to box role depending on the match situation. I know Rice is not everyone’s cup of tea but he’s one of the best in that dual-function role.
 
Fully expect this to be announced on Frenkie Friday. He’ll be in the stands for the Liverpool game

Even eriksen?
I mean admittedly rabiot is a bit of a crybaby while de jong seems to be the pretty boy type but to be honest I haven't seen anything from eriksen to suggest him being mentally weak.

I don't mean to say that he doesn't have a good attitude, but Eriksen seems prone to lethargy from time to time. Just saying, none of the three are going to stand up to a physically strong and aggressive midfield.

You clearly didn't read my post or else you wouldn't post such utter drivel.

I agree with some of it, just not that part. And i am right, he has the power in this situation as he has a binding contract so he doesn't need to do anything, unless Barcelona goes bankrupt and folds, he can ride out his lucrative contract whether he plays well or not.

Rabiot is strong in the tackle, he might not be keane aggressive, but he's physical.

You really smashed it mate. What are you going to do with your windfall next week?

You deserve a nice vacation at least

I bloody hope so, probably piss the lot on Amstel getting over the inevitable Liverpool drubbing.

Fair enough I guess , it would be great if we could get a meklele type in there.

Anyone reliable saying he's coming to Utd?

Anyone reliable knows that nobody knows anything, because Frenkie himself didn't made a decision yet. He is keeping all options open, because anything else would be unprofessional. Barca and Dursun have their own agendas of course and pressure to transfer. But in the end, he decides together with his woman.

Admitting it is the first step. Very brave.

Good man Frenkie. We will treat you better than this nonsense!
Looks like Barca were trying a sneaky deal with Chelsea getting in intermediaries etc and got told an angry feck off by frenkies team
