If you've got a spare 10 minutes have a butchers. A very impressive young talent:
To be fair to Ade, he was sublime when he was motivated by a dwindling contract. If he'd been signed to a rolling deal on solid wages that could be not renewed at the end of each season, he may have become the greatest striker in PL history.Barton, Morrison, Balotelli, Adebayor, Pennant, Diouf, Taarabt to name some more.

East Africans.We needs players with better altitude
Is that the same thing the guy had in Diving Bell and the Butterfly?Of note, having referred to him as concentrated flaming penis, Rabiot’s dad has locked in syndrome; a gruesome condition that is basically a conscious coma.
This happened when he was very young and goes a long way to explaining his relationship with his mother. In a world of fucking horrific agents, they likely battened down the hatches and became an incredibly close family unit, to hold on to what they have. It also likely explains why the mum is tolerated. In a sea of inauthentic monsters, they might actually be quite an honest duo.
That said, she’s probably still a massive dickhead. And he won’t sign for us anyway.
Glad he chose Barca over PSG
If it's actually true that we were interested, then I'm very glad this is done already and didn't linger until the summer.
Hell, it's probably a blessing they got it done with more than a week to go until January ends.
True - and also if there was any shot of us getting Rabiot then this is the pathway for it to happen.Agreed. If we were genuinely in for him etc and didn't get him due to Barca nabbing him I really can't blame the club at all. I want us focusing on the gems. Sadly people don't seem to get it that it's harder to get the top level players than just chucking a bit of money towards a Stambouli etc.
Eventually one or two of the big boys will be available and other clubs won't show an interest. It's all about being patient if we truly want to grow

No arguing if Rabiot signs, I’m just straight down your pants sonny jim
De Jong to Barca & a fair amount of rumours Paredes is off to PSG. Interesting little day in the midfielder merry go round
So, we need to be brave meant sign nobodyWhy do we keep doing this?
Poch said the decision to not sign anyone was a brave decision.
