I don't understand this Rabiot link at all. Why would Poch, Mitchell and Levy want to develop PSG's youth players.

I remember noticing this guy when he was 16/17 making an odd appearance for PSG. Highly rated but never really stood out to be a potentially very good player.

Though, I do think he has been in the France set up for a long time.

Funny, because your second sentence I imagine is what most of us would have said about Harry Kane.

With Masons injuries problem and Bentaleb missing with Algeria, it seems like a good deal. Poch will more than likely see Rabiot as more suited to his style in central midfield than Paulinho and/or Dembele and Stambouli.

If it's a loan, it's fine. I imagine it'll more than likely have a clause where we can make it permanent. If not, oh well. But it allows us to strengthen elsewhere as well.

His teammate, Schlupp, has also been rather impressive. He's powerful and pacey, and I like how he's kinda your old-fashion direct and natural winger. I think he too has the potential to consistently produce quality in the PL. One to keep an eye on (for the future) imo.

Didn't he had a trial at Man Utd a few years ago? I've always been impressed from what I've seen.
 
Don't need anyone in.
Would listen to offers for players that are on the fringes of making the bench, yet on a massive wage.
Covered at full back, centre back, centre mid and plenty attacking players.

Benteke in the summer once wage bill freed up.
 
Wouldn't be surprised to see Levy try to swap Soldado out, recoup some of the loss while getting in the next best thing.

I think we do need a striker but if we're going to get one I hope it is someone Kane would team up well with. Not sure who that is.

More than anything i want us to get rid of deadwood as clearly the mood in the team is much improved without them. But they are still getting paid shit loads!

Kaboul, Lennon, BAE, Ade: what do we get out of them?

Poch gave them their chance and neither decided to take it. We all thought that making Kaboul captain and Ade vice captain was a daft decision but maybe it was for a reason. Our performances have improved ten fold since both have been away from the team and both need to be shipped out as you rightly say.

So, you think we can compete in 4 competitions with one striker? :paulinhofacepalm:
 
Sign me up for 4th fiddle striker behind Kane, Soldado, and JujuLord. I cost nothing and I'm willing to sit in the stands or benches watching the game. 16 too, so I have a good 14 years of sitting left in me. :eriksenlip: Problem solved
