Buy Barella now and loan him back till summer. He is worth the wait. I truly fail to see why Ampadu cant be backup DH DMF for six months. He plays there at times for Wales and looked great. Or bloody Kovacic.

Because Sarri is so rigid and small minded?

completely different type of player to Paredes, who is a DH DMF

Traorè is a CMF/AMF/Winger

if you want the Hamed Junior Traorè version of alternative to Paredes it is Sandro Tonali

and Traorè is only 18 (like Tonali), so zero chance Sarri will play him regularly

I agree, would be a brilliant buy

but our board doesn't do brilliant

They paid Roma £24million to sign him in July 2017 and want a significant profit on a player who has impressed during his time at the club.

He didn't cost £24m, he cost 23m euros, so closer to £20m at July 2017 FOREX rates.

£32m is fair market value and allows Zenit well over a billion rouble profit, and in fact much more, as the rouble has crashed v the pound/euro since they signed Paredes They would profit around 1.3 billion roubles, historically adjusted.

That's a nice chunk for an 18 months holding.

I wish people would stop comparing Barella and Paredes

2 different types of player, 2 different positions

it is driving me cray

Unless you mean the last minute cock up and getting gazumped, do not worry, Paredes is miles beyond Golovin in performance at his task..

Would prefer him over Tonali, definitely. Tonali has talent but he isnt even half the level Verratti was at when he left Pescara to go to Paris... yes he's been called up and been training with the Italian NT but again I think Parades is at a better level to come in and offer something. Plus it makes sense for the kid to learn and improve at a team he has a key role playing in every week.

Regarding Paredes he is good but could be a bit sloppy sometimes with his passing or he was at Roma. He has physicality, good passing range, stamina, mobility too and fits the profile for a Sarri team as a CDM. Hopefully we can get him for under 30m. I think in terms of the market, 35m would be the highest we should pay though. Still plenty time to improve as well.

LOL In terms of every media post you read - EVERY - Golovin had signed on the dotted line and was ours.

I just smell a whiff of it where Mz Penny Pinscher comes into it.

By the sounds of things, he’s better than Jorginho
