NUFC Transfer Rumours

[Coffee_Johnny]

We’ve supposedly been in touch with the agent of Adrien Rabiot, who is available on a free. Still only 29 (surprisingly) anybody fancy taking a punt on a 6’4”  Lique 1 and Serie A winning, France stalwart, central midfielder?
 

Probs BS but better than watching tumbleweeds. 

edit: just been reading about what sounds like a prickly personality/multiple fall outs with managers. Great player but not one for EH me thinks.

Would it be wise to have a RW thread, just so people can post in here about rumoured signings without people banging on about as long as it’s not at the expense of a RW etc? 

[Tiresias]

Yeah Rabiot is not a personality to throw into a unified close knot dressing room, albeit by all accounts half the problem is his mother whom is his agent who will kick up a fuss if he is ever substituted etc

[gbandit]

No thanks on Rabiot

[sushimonster85]

Rabiot would be a pretty flagrant breach of the 'no dickheads' policy. We're fine with on-field dickheads, but the amount of shite that comes with Rabiot just isn't worth it. 

[Sibierski]

Would take Rabiot on ability, very good player, just the package that comes with him both wages and baggage, unfortunately puts me off. Rather went down a different route to gamble to get that type of quality. 

[Terrymac1966]

We need a pacey trickster to unlock tight defences...hope we have some cash left.

Politics section surely 😂

More chat in Spain that we've bid for Raphinha. Most likely nonsense like.

Needed an embed there.

A full day of no new bid for Guehi and Longstaff at the top of threads. I'm gagging.

Couldn't find the original source, but basically says we've offered £45 million, but Barca want closer to £60 million and the player would need convincing.

[nufc123]

Rabiot and Raphina on the same page (not aimed at either posters).

[Rich]

No ta to Rabiot, yes please to Raphinha.

[Fak]

Rabiot the player, yes. Rabiot the player, no. 

[The Prophet]

He's one we've tracked for ages, so could see us being interested, but he'll be on massive wages.

 

Edit: Raphinha that is.

Will stick my neck out here and based on nothing, we havent.

Que?

[Optimistic Nut]

Wouldn't be too against it but very unlikely. Other clubs at the top make this sort of signing to play 20-25 games a season.

[The Prophet]

Can't think of a player Howe would like less than Rabiot.

Apparently Raphinha is his obsession. Read it somewhere today. Can’t find the link now!

Moody French twats don’t seem his thing, I’d agree. 

[B-more Mag]

I wonder what the price for Kubo would be?

Refuse to believe any Spanish media reports, especially any reporting on Barcelona.

[ponsaelius]

Wouldn't be surprised it Raphinha is going somewhere. They'll need money to offset the Olmo signing.
