Not seen any links apart from RM and a lot to Victimpool and couple to Manure. But seems klopp really likes him Will be difficult IMHO to get either him or Barella as they wouldn't want to be on the bemch and he wants to go back to Boca. Thing is I've read a couple of reports stating Granny wont meet the asking price for Barella so this lad MIGHT be the one we are going for. They both look very good so TBH I wouldn't mind either of them I'm sure SOMEONE will tell us who is the better tho.

Pizy 18,976 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 First thing that comes up when I google this dude is that he's desperate to return to his boyhood club in Argentina. Unionjack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw that. Really strange, as Boca would be hard-pressed to afford him. They would probably sell Pavon to fund. He should wait till he is in his 30's to go back. It's football career regression to do so now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,976 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Just watched a bit of him. Can certainly understand the link to him if it's real. He has the same skill set as Jorginho and Cesc in terms of his long passing but he's certainly more athletic. For the amount of money we're talking about here, though, I'm not sure Paredes makes sense. I don't see how he and Jorginho play together since they occupy the same area of the pitch. Would we really spend tens of millions of pounds on a backup? Can't see it. Barella on the other hand seems more versatile. More of an all arounder who can play across midfield.

DDA 9,973 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 This guy is a legit sicko. Fantastic player. Sign him up! Unionjack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ja1 1,166 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 A good player but why would we sign him to back up Jorginho, ie he’s way too talented for that in a position we will not rotate. If anything he probably has more potential than Jorginho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything he probably has more potential than Jorginho. If he has more potential, then give him the platform to fulfill it and overtake Jorginho. This kind of competition would only be healthy. One question though, if he's apparently so good, wtf's he doing in Russia? Unionjack and !Hazard! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,887 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Good player, definitely a option we should look at. Him and Barella would be 2 excellent MF signings. Dont know what that would mean for Kovacic though come the summer. Cant see Barella being a like for like replacement for Cesc in that deep role either. Definitely an 8. Has to play higher up DDA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 No offense to the player , he might be legit but there are way too many players I have never heard from linked with us and hailed as world beaters I thought we had all but secured this Barilla chap as Fabreags replacement. I hope we sign whoever quickly these constant new rumours becoem a bit off-putting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucio 5,418 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 he's been highly touted for several years now, going back to boca juniors. Seems very technical Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vybzkartel 284 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I think this guy would be a massive impact sub for us. We need to actually get this done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc_blue 265 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I think he could be a very good impact sub for us. Would he be happy with that role though? Might be better to try for Tonali who is younger and might appreciate that role more and who can grow into a starter in a couple of seasons. Getting Barella would give us more options immediately and Tonali would give us the back up depth and future starter. Unionjack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Sarri rotates well he can easily start half of our remaining games, we have Europa and FA Cup too. Look at RLC and Barkley earlier in the season they were unhappy about their lack of playing time but once we started playing twice and fixtures pled up they started to get enough starts and appearances to keep them content. His quick passing is world class and we could do with that in our squad if we lose Cesc. Plus he is only 24 so he is still young. kc_blue and jernej93 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club is probably expecting transfer ban in the summer so this is gonna be an important transfer window as it seems. With both midfielders heavily linked with us I assume one thing... We don't want to sell Hazard and we are probably expecting that Real won't let us keep Kovacic if we play hard with them. And also.. Barkley will have to step up big time if he wants to stay near first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also FIFA is nothing if not corrupted to the core, surely there will be a solution. There never has been such a transfer ban on a major club in football history.
