Will not blame the board at all

Who are you and why have you hacked Vesper's account?

Bought Drinkwater as a backup for that much lol

Not sure who thought that was a good idea, same summer Paredes went for for around 23m+4m add on. Don't think you could have a worse summer than the one we did on the back of a PL title. Bakayoko and Morata are already gone, and Drinkwater is so shit no one wants him.

Paredes would be a good addition regardless who the manager is; technical, work rate, passer, above average athletically, etc. So a fine all around midfielder that would benefit any side.

I am not a spendthrift, if you look at all my posts on targets you will see I show how to pay for them and never offer more than fair market vale (no matter how fucked up the market is). Icardi is a perfect example. His release clause is £98m. We are FOOLS to not match it and say DONE. BUT I never ever would pay over £115-120m or so for him, and that goes down each year, as he ages.

WE completely have shat away 70 bloody million on Drinkwater. That buy alone who get a head chopped at my hedge fund. £45m for Barella is good business IMHO. I can but deal with deals one on one, in isolation. Paredes to me is a £35m DH DMF. I MIGHT say a couple million more just to get it done in January, but Zenit can fuck off on 55m euros.

Let's do this! He is a class player. Will so help the drive for 3rd or 4th place and the EL title.

Yet again the Alonso of the Football club board  lose out once again.

Granny will pop up now saying she was just about to try for him then it will come out in the media she refused to pay a extra £1m for him so he fucked off to PSG

I'm fine with not signing Paredes as long as Sarri will actually rest Jorginho and give proper opportunities to Kovacic and Ampadu in that position

Agree. We can strengthen in the summer by replacing Kovacic and promoting Ampadu/Mount

Almost 50M for a backup player would have been too much. If the stories about Barella unwilling to come in january are true, I think that means Ampadu will be playing more from now until the end of the season.

Yep this deal for that kind of money would have made no sense. Rather use that 50M to buy Ben Chilwell (he should be the real priority!)

I'm also excited to see more of Ampadu. Apart from that one own goal he has been nothing short of excellent every time he has played

So we're gonna play a CB as regista. More square pegs round holes, awesome! The board should just fire itself when we miss out on top 4, not the coach. Sarri has been begging for a replacement, a coach who says he doesn't care about the market, so obviously he must be desperate for someone... but yeah let's ignore him.

As much as i really like Paredes and would love him here....the financial obligation is too much and knowing Sarri....he wont give him proper platform to compete and cement his place in the team....will always play his favourite Jorginho ahead of him....

There is still time, but it is so typical of us to have only one target and if we fumble it we panic or don't do anything. It's like we don't have a vast scouting network across the globe. Let's just hope to fuck Ampadu develops like the hype suggests.
