If we sign both that 99% guarantees 2 things

Kovacic will not go perm..... Barella

No Sandro Tonali...... Paredes

I think the 'close to agreeing a deal with both' will be us covering all bases, we won't get both but 1.

At least we are finally going after players I truly rate. Barella for sure, and Paredes is a true DH DMF. Barella is a more forward driving MF, but the nice thing is he has a real hard streak in him on defence.

Its why I rate Tonali so high. He is like Jorginho or a poor man's (atm, give him time) Pirlo, crossed with Gatusso.

I don't think so, I think it's more of a case we don't let either slip through the net, agree a deal with both and sign one, it can happen.

Where did the board find intelligence all of a sudden?

Don't get me wrong I'm happy we are in for two cracking midfielders but we need a striker more than two midfielders

Nothing to say we aren't looking.

Offer of #Chelsea for Nicolò #Barella objectively difficult to reject (apparently exceeding 50m £!). For this reason, Cagliari accelerated to Nandez del Boca (it is about payment mode), while Birsa will replace the injured Castro. Stretcher towards London

Who cares about signing strikers? They are overrated.

Simon Phillips very confident a striker is coming in. Plus, sounds like Morata out is on.

[Special Juan 28,094]

Birsa from Chievo is going to Cagliari
