Higuain apparently will sign for the club very soon.

Higuain
Barella
Parades

We could be signing all 3.

That is what I call a statement of intent from the club.

The midfield could change drastically. It means Sarri have eyes after all, he's a smart man if we manage to pull off these three deals.

Both players play for their respective national teams, first of all. Haven't seen either of them play, but I believe the Eds have been writing, that Barella is seen by many as a potential captain for Italy in the future.

All I've seen from both players has been on YouTube, so it goes without saying that I've only seen the best parts of the players. However, Barella in my eyes seems like a very good box to box midfielder, that can also go out wide, and he seems to make absolutely wonderful passes - from what I've seen, I'm sure he'd had a lot more assists with better team mates! Think he'd be a perfect fit to either the left or right central midfield.

Paredes, on the other hand, seems to be almost the same as Jorginho, from what I've seen. Should be taken in regard, that most of the videos I've seen must've been against Russian teams, so I don't know how he's done against better teams.

A statement? A statement of what exactly? That we have now reverted to signing has beens as a striker.

Magic, a lot of big clubs have been after Barella. If Chelsea can get the deal done in January then it will be good business. His a standout in Italy and is received very very highly there by everyone. His stats for tackling are better than Kovacic's and he has a good eye for a pass. His main asset is his engine, he can run all day making him a perfrct box to box player. He could be a good risk given his age.

Parades I suspect will provide competition for Jorginho given that Fabregas will leave. Also let's not forgot Fabregas is an all time great in football, you can't compare nobody's vision like his so no point comparing the two. Just be thankful we had Fabregas who contributed in 2 titles with us.

thank you emil sc for your comment back. interesting barella does seem like a decent footballer from what iv heard. but my issue would be so would rlc if he was playing for bari or someone of that calibre. so ifms he an improvement on rlc barkley etc. the 1 thing i suppose we have learned is buying young players allows you the window of oppertunity to resell for good money if they go an have a decent loan somewere and can be den sold. ie bakayoko . he didn't work out didn't suit us maybe who knows he looked like christy brown any time i watched him play haha na all jokes aside my point is we can sell again if he doesn't work out.

Barella, I can understand as he would suit English football being of compact build and aggressive, sometimes too aggressive and he favours his left foot, the downside is he seldom scores which is something we need from midfield. Cannot see why we would be interested in Paredes who has been around the block and only 24 and ends up in the Russian league. Been there before but I would like to see us buy Griezmann in the summer for his goals, engine and tactical awareness.

Magic: Spoil sport. Yet, we would appear to gladly fork out £50m for Callum Wilson or an unfit Higuain if the media are to be believed. To keep Hazard we need a major signing.
