There is of course always the chance that he’s not a bad guy at all and wouldn’t be a disruptive influence and that he’s just another poorly advised young player. Worth watching.

Little insight in to what we may be getting ourselves in to:

The Reasons Why Rabiot is so Hated

In 2008, Rabiot was signed to the Manchester City academy on a six year deal that should have seen him turn professional when he turned 17. But six months after signing, the deal is killed because Rabiot’s mom became angry at the club’s “treatment of her boy”.

The kid then joins PSG and even with Rabiot’s talents it’s difficult to envisage him earning first team experience (cause he really wasn’t that good). However, the club and Laurent Blanc worked with the mom and showed their willingness to work with the kid and allowing him to gradually develop, introducing him to the first team in the manner that Sir Alex Ferguson did with David Beckham and Wayne Rooney.

In 2013 Rabiot and his mom grew impatient and he is sent on loan to Toulouse to earn more playing time. His temporary departure earned him and his mom criticism in the media for their impatience with the club.

After Rabiot returns to PSG from loan, Laurent Blanc Blanc begins to start him in 1 of 2.5 games at the beginning of the season. In the middle of the second half of the season, Rabiot’s mom threatens that his son will attempt to leave the club if he is not given more playing time with Matuidi, Verrati, Thiago motta and Pastore in the squad. As a result Laurent Blanc starts him in more games.

In 2015, towards the end of the season before Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s contract is about to run out, Rabiot and Zlatan get into a fight at the training center in Paris.

While Thiago Motta was getting old and eventually was unable to play at a high level, he was replaced by Rabiot as a defensive midfielder in important games. He played very well at this position and fans grew excited as they thought they had found the perfect replacement for Thiago motta. Instead of serving his club by playing in whatever position that would help the team win games, he and his mom complained to the coach and president that this was not the role he wanted to have at the club as he wanted a more sexy type of style in games and attack instead of defending. Even though he was much better at defending than attacking, him and his mother would whine about it. Even in the champions league games Rabiot would go against playing as a starting defensive midfielder. Despite these demands, the coach would still sometimes put him at the 6 position with the goal of winning and putting the team before the individuals. Which probably led to even more disgusting behavior from the Rabiot family as they didn’t completely get what they wanted as they’re used to.

Rabiot has been often seen as a cry baby that complains to his mom whenever he doesn’t get what he wants. Due to him coming from a rich family, it makes sense as to why he cries whenever he doesn’t get what he wants.

The President of PSG, Nasser Al Khelaifi, appears to be a big fan of Rabiot, regardless of the shit he and his mother give him, he has always said he sees Rabiot as a son and has even gone to treat him as the favorite of the team. Perhaps this was just to keep the Rabiot family happy and to make the mom shut up but it definitely didn’t stop them from complaining.

In 2018, Didier Deschamps picks his World Cup squad for the French National team and picks Rabiot to be in the reserves meaning he would be picked into the first team if a midfielder had gotten injured. Rabiot who had only played 5-6 games with France with a performance lower than what it usually is at his club, feels insulted that he is put on the reserves and requests that he is removed from it right away. Instead of Rabiot, Didier had picked Pogba, Matuidi, Kanté, Tolisso, and Nzonzi. Who had proven at the time to be much better players in their clubs and on the national team. Even though France is one of the countries with an abundance of very talented players, Rabiot could not see the honor in being considered by being placed in the reserves. Didier Deschamps who strongly believes in the honor and dignity of representing “Le maillot bleu” states that Adrien made “a big mistake” by making this decision as he missed out on possibly wining the World Cup and might never be considered for the French national team again.

After Rabiot decided to remove himself from the national team, the media and fans lashed at him for being the complacent little baby that he is and for not respecting the honor of representing les bleus. Of course as powerful as his mother seems to be, she could not control what the media and fans had to say. So instead, he wrote a statement disagreeing towards the label of him being “immature”. The kid cried at people for calling him names.

I must say that when I became a PSG fan, the first time I heard of Rabiot I was not impressed. I found nothing special about his skills and didn’t like the personality he had as he seemed to have a very selfish character. I figured that since he was young he would develop into being a pretty talented and mature player, but even now I don’t see the improvement.

It’s frustrating how this guy has been playing PSG all along. I myself knew that he wasn’t going to renew a contract as it became increasingly obvious that these contract negotiations weren’t moving forward. We now know that all of that was part of Rabiot and his entourage’s (mom’s) plan. Keep stalling so you don’t get put on the bench until you can leave while screwing the club over by leaving the midfield open.

We sold Matuidi just so that we could give Rabiot the chance to grow and become the “Steven Gerard of PSG” like he had stated before. He stalls contract talks and makes it seem like he does want to stay, the club meets his demands even though he seems to think he deserves to have the salary of Messi. And now PSG is going to lose one of its starting midfielders when they are already in the absence of a 6. And with FFP sticking to PSG like moths on a lamp post at night, it looks like it’s going to be extremely difficult to replace both positions. For all we know he could not even be a true PSG fan and just forced his way out of the academy into his starting role with the bitching of his mom. It’s just funny that PSG defended this child after the big mistake he had made with the French National team.

In conclusion, although it may screw PSG over, I’m glad that a scumbag like him is leaving PSG. I hope that PSG wins a bunch of champions league trophies without him as well as France with the Euros and the World Cup. I hope he ends up having a shit career and karma kicks him and his mother in the ass so hard that he ends up playing in the third division of the Bulgarian League where the Bourgeois would never step foot.

Him and Ben Arfa are definitely on my shit list. I don’t ever want to hear about these two or see them on a screen in my life again.

Let Barcelona have him. If they think they’re getting back at us for Neymar, they are in for a treat.

Wait so now its Malcolm, Rabiot and Werner for £100m. As exciting as that sounds I feel that is about as likely as our stadium opening in 2019!

Oh but wouldn't that be a window?

What if De Jong was Barca’s number 1 target all along and they only showed an interest in Rabiot so that they could swoop in for De Jong under PSG’s noses? From what i’ve read, there’s financially absolutely no way Barca will be able to have both Rabiot and De Jong.

Honestly, most of that comes across as a bitter fan who hasn’t taken the loss of one of their favourite players very well.

In one way yes. There's a lot of stuff going over several years both in club and national team. Seems like a proper twat. Something for WH to sign once he's 35.

Barca are the third richest club in world football, and with Rabiot's contract running down he's as close to a surefire profit-maker as one could possibly hope to find in today's transfer market. Even if he failed and rarely ever featured for them they would likely be able to sell him on for three times the cost of bringing him in. If anything, their interest in Rabiot is probably driven primarily by the financials of the deal.

I highly doubt that finances would prevent them from signing both. I'm guessing it would be more of a case of not wanting to deal with the headaches that Rabiot would likely cause when he would be surplus to requirements to begin with.

Reposting something I posted in the summer window and still believe now. Yes there is a degree of saltiness in the PSG fans post that Luka put up but that vast majority of what he says is true.

'When we tried to sign him the first time round it was because he threw his toys out the pram and told PSG that he would leave on a free if he didn't get more playing time. They eventually caved and then gave him a new contract, now he is telling them he doesn't want to play the position the manager wants him to play in.

He has also temporarily retired himself, from playing for France, whilst Deschamps is in charge by refusing to be on standby. Although looks like Deschamps will be stopping after the WC anyway judging by rumours over here.

He is quite clearly badly advised by his Mum, who is seen as being extremely difficult to deal with, think French female DL!! (I haven't seen or looked for any photos of her, so no idea if she is a bald dwarf also!)

My personal opinion is that he is a very good player with a huge ego and attitude problem that is completely exacerbated by an over controlling Mummy, probably a good idea to avoid for all the hassle he/she would bring... '

And on top of all this he now seems to be screwing the club who stood by him during all of this and caved to all his demands. Too much of a Primadonna for me but if Poch thinks he can deal with him then in Poch I Trust.

It seens that he didn't have big issue with his teammates except ibra (who also has a huge ego)

Thiago sliva and the Toulouse coach said he is a good boy. But the latter also said that the problem is his mum (who wanted to attend the traning session!).

If anyone can tame his mother it's Poch, especially when he wears the black suit and shirt ?, just look at the handsome devil!

‘Give a miss’ to the possibility of signing a top class CM whose only 23, would solve loads of issues for us, cheaper than what he’s actually worth, has a good resale value... all because his fucking mums ‘Apparently’ hard to deal with. Heard it all
