No idea mate, I've seen nowt of SarrAny idea why they namechecked Sarr as potentially being £18mil and his value going to £40-50mil in a couple of seasons?
For me Kamara and Zakaria have the same upside and shouldnt be expensive with only a year on their deals...
Kamara all the way
Zakaria for the driving force in the centre as well.
Id go for those two on the list.
Yeah i'm not sure about that mate, if you just google his name with the word disruptive there is loads comes up about him being a 'problem child' and a 'disruptive influence' some of it is from previous years i will grant you that but i really don't think he is the answer to our midfield issues. Also there was something the other day which stated we are after a CM and RW who both have pace, well that's not going to be Rabiot if that's the case.I'm not sure he has disrupted the Juve dressing room tbf mate and other than that he's only ever been at PSG where he was ostracised because he didn't sign the new deal. Carlo introduced him at PSG IIRC when he was only a young lad.
I was similar in not particularly rating him greatly but he does seem to have improved at Juve, and has become more of that ball carrying midfielder that he should be. He's got his place back in the France squad too.
The issue of him maybe being a big fish is a problem I'd agree, though we obviously wouldn't know that for definite - that'd be on the club to do their background checks etc.
One random thing I always remember is, perhaps back in 2016 or something, it was something really random but he was on a video for a new FIFA game I believe. Can't remember why I saw it, but it was basically asking the PSG squad what they thought their ratings would be/should be. Know it's a daft thing, but as you'd expect most players went for ratings that were better or whatever, and Rabiot was really quite modest and said something like: "I didn't have the best of seasons and I should be a 78" - EA had given him like an 83 or something
It's obviously a very minuscule example, but believe the actual issue has always been with his mother rather than the player himself, who supposedly is quite a humble lad. Just very headstrong in that he thought he would be one type of midfielder whereas PSG saw it differently (can't remember if they saw him as a six and he saw himself being more attacking or if it was the other way round).

We simply can't afford to do that this year though. Ignoring the Euro's just for a moment we need to get players in as early as we can so Carlo can work with them as much as possible throughout the pre season period and be ready to hit the ground running when the season starts.
I'm just talking about getting deals done and players ready to come in rather than scrambling around last minute, there is no reason we can't do that.
It’s easy to quickly sign players that won’t improve us.
I don’t know much about Rabiot to be honest. Just had a quick read up and looks trouble to me. It is difficult enough getting a decent squad together without having a troubled soul in the camp. Not for me however good he is
I wonder if Carlo has told Brands to sign David Luiz now he is on a free?
He likes an experienced Brazilian centre half ( tried for Tiago Silva and failed ) .
The player reportedly wants to stay in England and he could link up with his compatriots at Goodison.
He takes a terrible free kick , is glacial slow , can't defend but being free would allow Brands to sell Mina and use the funds in other areas of the team.
What's not to like ?
