Pizy 18,944 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 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.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Sounds like the offer we have made has now made Cagliari shit themselves and now they are throwing mad money at players. Fernando and Johnnyeye 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not even seriously linked to one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 4 minutes ago, communicate said: 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.

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..

Pizy 18,944 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't in fact believe it and will be very surprised if we are banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parades ain't that good, isn't required, and should not be signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
