Nicolo Barella

Sounds like the offer we have made has now made Cagliari shit themselves and now they are throwing mad money at players.

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

Yeah while it does please me we are actually looking at the longer picture with talented technical yoof it doesn't  go anywhere to offer us some needed goals.

And not even seriously linked to one.

Two midfielder wow. One make sense, two make 0 sense. We have kante, kova, rlc, Barkley, jorgi. 5 players for 3 position. Imo that is the minimum , 6 is good but 7 is too many. 

If we did decide to get both, I think one will be for the summer and will mean we wouldn't buy Kovacic permanently.

At the moment though we have no one definitely incoming with Fabregas leaving and RLC crocked, so we are stretched and need somebody in there.

Hopefully this is the start of fresh new and young signings and we are going to blow the living shit out of the January window.

This doesn't excuse some of the past fuck up's but i think the boards job is being made a lot easier by having a manager with a clear vision and direction.

As good as Jose and Conte did trophy wise there was never really any vision from either beyond winning immediately so it made it more difficult to go all in with backing like they appear to be doing now with Sarri..

You learn fro mistakes, hopefully this is the board learning.

I didn't want to believe that the club doing business now in January had anything to do with an impending transfer ban. But wow, if we buy another £50m player this month and loan them back to their club until the summer what else could be happening!?

I mean, it would be fantastic work by the club but we need help now, too!

If we get Barella he won't be going back, he will be coming this window.

I don't want to believe that the club is so stupid as to have got this wrong and left themselves open to a sanction. I don't in fact believe it and will be very surprised if we are banned.

Signing both would be crazy. While it would be sensational from our (the fans') perspective to have such a gluttony of quality midfielders, it would seem strange from the players' perspective. Paredes in particular is so damn similar to Jorginho. Couldn't see the two playing together so he'd purely be cover for him? Can't see it.

Barella is the one we really want.  

Agreed. Parades ain't that good, isn't required, and should not be signed.

Where did the board find intelligence all of a sudden? 

Well not only we are losing Fabregas but so drinkwater and Bakayoko. Replace with them with these two. Should be great.

Obviously if the club intends to sign both Barella and Parades, and then register them in the various squads, they must have a plan to handle the cap question. Either enough foreign players will leave, or else one or two will not be re-registered in the squads at the end of January.
