Leandro Paredes (DM) option will not be taken up by Juventus and so he is back at PSG and he is not wanted. He has a year remaining on his contract.  He has been offered to Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United and Bayern Munich.

He is an ancient 29.  Not an ideal age for our current kindergarten team, but he would allow Chelsea to move on from Caicedo.  He just turned 29 in June.  He is from Argentina, has played in Russia, France and Italy. Played in the World cup.  Alongside Enzo. Has played for Pocchettino before. At the World cup he was the feisty bloke who blasted the ball into the Dutch bench during that great game.  I think he could do a job as an experienced DM for 2-3 years.

Twins or triplets?

We'll know once they're scraped off the tissue.

Usually I would laugh a post like this out of the room but this guy called the Enzo deadline day saga and recent Caicedo training developments before they became big knowledge.

Surely City won't be this stupid but Alvarez would be beyond perfect to fill Nkunku's position and be a Jackson alternative.

City will tell us to do one. With Jesus Mahrez and Gundo gone there’s plenty of space. Would love them though 😂

How about anu fati as a nkununku  replacement?  I would like the 1 year  loan for mbappe but he plays in the wrong position to replace nkunku . 

Edited August 8, 20232 yr by ozboy

and Pacqueta (who romano says citeh are interested in is another that I think would fit the bill

Are there anymore wonder kids we could sign from Brazil?

Alvarez would indeed be perfect but I have difficulty seeing how city would agree.

No chances this is happening. They are already crazy thin upfront 

Jonathon David is another name I would think about if I was in the market for a Nkunku replacement. Basically I am looking for goals. David isn't a no 10 but he does score regularly in France

          Haaland 

Grealish - Foden - KDB - B silva

Bench: Palmer, Alvarez 

This is just crazy thin. City probably need one or two more attackers.

That is why we move quickly and sign 2 of the ones on the market.

They need somebody. No way you can start your season with 2 backup for 5 spots. 

West Ham turning into some right sh*tehouses. McTominay, Maguire, Alvarez. 

Joe Shields has been eyeing up Argentina and Uruguays most promising youngsters in Federico Redono and Fabrizio Diaz. 
 

Massive coup if we land both.

Former is a Busquets regen and the latter was the best player at U20 World Cup.

You could argue Busquets is a Fernando Redondo regen who is Federico’s dad and a Madrid legend.
