I’d Rabiot genuinely a box to box midfielder? Admittedly haven’t seen too much of him, but the little I have he seemed more Carrick like.

Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing, but I would personally like us to sign a CM who can contribute a few goals also, as we haven’t had one for so long.

Although at this stage I’d settle for anyone decent.

Rabiot is a box-to-box midfielder by his own admission. He refused to play as a 6 under Unai Emery (then again I'd refuse to play any position under that gargoyle looking freak too)

Agree 100%
Rabiot in now, I’d bring Onomah back too.
Then bring in Berge in the summer to replace Wanyama.
I would maybe sell Onomah for Berge just because I think Berge looks to have a higher ceiling. I'm not sure Onomah will make it with that much competition. We'll see though, I would like to be proven wrong. He may have to play futher upfield though if those were our central midield options. Unless Dier moves to the back replacing Toby then maybe we can have space for him deeper in midfield.

Vertonghen, Sanchez, Dier, Foyth
Winks, Rabiot, Berge, Sissoko, Skipp, Onomah

Looks pretty tasty that actually.

Man City still concern me in all of this. Fernandinho isn't getting any younger, and City were clearly in the market for a midfielder given their failure to snaffle de Jong.
I think more likely they'll go for someone like Isco which would also be a concern for us

If the phone call with Poch did happen, then i’d be quite confident of this one happening.

I remember reading something a year or so ago that Poch had a very good track record of getting players once it got to the stage of him talking to them.

Did Poch ask Lloris to translate?

I can't screenshot it on here but Aurier has just posted a picture of him and Rabiot on his Instagram story and an emoji of preying hands and a heart ?

Someone posted on Twitter it’s likely related to praying for Sala/his donation. Personally think that makes some sense, just think he would reference Sala?

Lol Jesus guys we've done this before. It's likely in response to him donating 25k euros for Sala hence the big heart. Pump the breaks

We only sign players Serge can get over the line. It’s why we didn’t make a signing in summer as unfortunately he couldn’t convince Mbappe to join.

Edit: It’s obviously due to his donation.
