If we don't buy Sandro Tonali, he is a superb option for rotation with Jorginho. Really class player.

Didn't know anything about him. 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.

Stretcher, nothing but the truth

First thing that comes up when I google this dude is that he's desperate to return to his boyhood club in Argentina.

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.

[Pizy 18,877]

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.

This guy is a legit sicko. Fantastic player. Sign him up!

[ja1 1,166]

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.

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?

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

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

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. 

[lucio 5,418]

he's been highly touted for several years now, going back to boca juniors. Seems very technical

He is actually really good, Roma was forced to sell to comply with FFP, exact same situation as how we got Rudiger.

[Vybzkartel 284]

I think this guy would be a massive impact sub for us. We need to actually get this done. 

[kc_blue 265]

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.
