Adrien Rabiot

Rabiot is young, french, in last year of contract

this may have legs...

negatives are that he is too tall for the midfield Christmas Do

Think he'd be our tallest midfielder in about 10 years! (Diaby doesn't count)

"When he is allowed to just play football, he shows that he is an excellent passer of the ball. He has good vision and his long legs allow him to bring the ball forward confidently and effectively. The problem with Rabiot is that he knows he is good and the success at a young age has gone to his head, and also the people around him are not the best influences."

L'equipe now reporting PSG have agreed a fee with Roma for Rabiot?? Hiking up the price or true?

1st they bought Manolos when he had almost signed for us, now this.

Roma don't seem to do their own scouting, just keep an ear out for who we are after then go for them! Simples!

Even if the Roma story has any truth in it, doesn't necessarily mean Rabiot will be joining them.

Rabiot’s agent (his mum!) has stated he needs to be playing at a club where he can get regular playing time, (to force his way into the national side) and with the players Roma have (Kieita [sp] springs to mind unsure if they could offer him this.

Good point, they also have Strootman coming back from injury soon.

They are saying there is no agreement with Roma now.
