Leandro Paredes

[Special Juan 27,424]

When we get a corner now it's a great counter attack for the opposition.

I think Jorginho will be looking over his shoulder Paredes is good enough to get Jorginho benched

Its always good to have some competition. It was clear from the start that Cesc was only a backup, not a serious competitor to Jorginho

Jorginho clearly needs a break. He has pretty much been playing non-stop from mid-July

Given Sarri doesn’t rotate even with talented players in reserve and Jorginho is literally *his* player, I don’t think there’s any chance there will be competition so to speak for Jorginho’s place, more so he replaces Fab as back up. I did question this - he basically seems overqualified as a back up player in a position we will not rotate, but then it’s still good for us we have such a good player in reserve, if not good for him.

He isnt slow, that (the post you replied to) is a drive-by slate, I have watched him in around 20 games, pace was never an issue.

 

His actually slow. I will book mark this for later use

whats the hold up in this deal?

Even if we do get this dude, he will probly take a lot of time to get a)match fit =Russian league finished start of December for 3 month winter break,b)up to speed with the prem c) sarri's tactics d)moving to new location! Its why it would of made more sense to hold onto Fabregas until the summer! But i guess CFC don't do sense amongst afew other basic things! ie get rid of someone/position were we weak ,before bringing 1 in etc.

i'd prefer toure from empoli to him

Not sure if peeps have checked up on this lad.

The clips and from all Ive read about him make me think we will be lucky to get him.

And he will only get better.

if we get him at that price I'll be happy with that  and it's reported that he will be on £77k a week I read that fabregas was on £175k a week so we have save money on our wage by getting rid off fabregas

Then I need to look around for better clips because, in the ones I've seen, he looks pretty ordinary to me.

Edit: He does look a player in these clips. On to the all touches vids next for a better look: -

Why not just mold and play Ampedu as Jorginho backup, the youngster is competent enough and given the lack of Sarri rotation policy it would be better fitting. I don't think it is enough playing time for Paredes to make this investment worth it, but for a 18 year old seems like he would get a good amount of playing time. 

I would see the logic with Nicolo Barella, given he is much more versatile and can play in numerous situations. We need to put as much resource into improving our starting 11 as possible at this point, Paredes signing makes us a deeper, but not a better team.

We're waiting for the Nike contract to start 

[Special Juan 27,424]
