Johnnyeye 7,510 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 watch him sign for another team (Napoli, cough cough) while we drag this shit on, it will be a shitstorm if we bid for him in the summer, because there will be no shortage of suitors for Nicolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin123 535 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Monaco want Batshuayi to join Fabregas in France. Chelsea have deals in place for Barella and Paredes but have not yet decided whether or not to sign either of them #cfc https://t.co/uK8SZ7Q7H6 Johnnyeye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kc_blue 265 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 If he's hesitant to move now just set it up like the Pulisic deal. I'd rather have him now but I can wait until next season if he really won't come now but is willing to in the summer. Johnnyeye and DDA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 In any normal club, where they sell a player like Cesc I would say as soon as that happens the replacement will be more or less immediate....us, it could be weeks yet. xPetrCechx and Johnnyeye 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA 9,941 Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 If we miss out on this guy, it could potentially be just as bad as when we missed out on Aguero. One was in the bag and the other is in the bag but yet our board want to torture us further. Go fuckyourselves. the wes, Johnnyeye and Vybzkartel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapkun 668 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Correct if I'm wrong but Barella and Paredes are 2 different profiles, no? One is more of an 8 and the other more of a 6. If so I'm having trouble understanding why the club is hesitant. kc_blue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if we are after a direct, like for like replacement for Cesc then Paredes is the choice. Barella for me has the much higher ceiling and can fit in any of the 3 midfield spots.

Thor 2,718 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Never seen this Barella kid prior to the last week, but looks immense. Reminds me a lot of Modric funnily enough. Seems very broad in the positions he would be able to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!Hazard! 3,394 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Signing Barella would effectively mean that the club would not try to buy Kovacic in the summer right? They strike as very similar players after all Johnnyeye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't even know which would be better of the current options that are reported to be on the table: - buy paredes, re-sign kovacic - buy barella, don't re-sign kovacic, promote mount - buy no one, re-sign kovacic, promote mount If I was the board and wasn't sure on the best course of action, I'd just ask Sarri what he'd prefer and go for that but knowing our board, that's unlikely Sideshow Luiz, Johnnyeye and kc_blue 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we can rely on him getting regular minutes in the first team. I suspect he'll be out on loan again.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Millions miles between Mount and Ampadu in terms of development, Mount is not ready at all. Johnnyeye and DH1988 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Seen a few on Twitter wanting Mount over Paredes and/or Barella. Don't think Mount is near Paredes at the moment. Without sounding too gloomy, i think we need to be ready for Mount to never feature for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boca accepted their offer, but its been 3 days now and no movement Looks like we are looking at Nandez too - doesn't seem the best passer. http://www.insidefutbol.com/2019/01/11/chelsea-show-interest-in-cagliaris-targeted-replacement-for-nicolo-barella/405412/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
