Would be beyond my expectations for us to sign him, thought Barca was a done deal - I’m confident Poch would get his attitude in line. Would easily get in our CM from the off, although Poch has form for bedding players in when signed in January.....Rabiot would be perfect only if his attitude can be tamed by Poch.
With CL experience you'd assume he'd be challenging for a starting spot from the off?
Either way he'd be a relief to the demands being placed on Dier, Sissoko and Winks.
The Wolves result was necessary to force our hand to look for players.. We do need CMs - fit CMs. We were tired yesterday. There is only so much flesh and blood can give.
How long would it take for a signing for us this Jan to be in a Spurs shirt ready to play.?
We all know that Poch doesnt rush players into the team, so it might take a while, particularly if they haven't been playing regularly
Yes we canI'm long on the record here as saying Rabiot would be great at Spurs. Made for Premier League football. My impressions from seeing him live twice - strong, combative, mobile. Just the sort of midfield presence we're lacking at the moment with Wanyama out.
Can't use him in CL play, though. Still, have him in a heartbeat.

I suspect he would use them and Skipp to fill in for tired legs depending on what we need during the game. Thus seeing a game out/pushing it forward and facilitating Sissoko and Winks be for the next game.We all know that Poch doesnt rush players into the team, so it might take a while, particularly if they haven't been playing regularly
I wonder about his meteorology sometimes. He was on standby for the French WC squad but said if he was not in the squad then he is not interested. He looks a cracking player but I question his team meteorology, is the kind of player Poch would go for?
Also I doubt he would join us for less than £150K a week
