Who’s gonna pretend they know anything about this guy then?
Love the deals that have come out of nowhere.
i watch a lot of European football although not much la liga in the last year and i had to do a Danny Rose

This move will break down / get hijacked / stall and you will have millions of Spurs fans hanging effigies of Paratici for missing out on a player they had never heard of 48 hours earlier

This is the exact kind of deal we should be doing if/where possible and it would beg the question why couldn't we do these types of deals before!

If we get this one done and the Gollini clever loan with option in that just shows what a huge difference it makes with football people in charge of the football decisions trying to strategically optimise the squad with the in's and out's rather than Levy just charging too high a prices and we just never move anyone out and then leave all our in's until the last minute.

Very very positive and promising.
Excellent post.

I mean, KDB and VVD are literally called Kevin and Virgil.

There's hope for a Bryan.

Kevin de Bryan

I, for one, have no idea who this guy but definitely sounds like the sort of profile we should be going for!

just watched the vid, fucking hell, he's got a quick brain as well as quick feet. toughen him up a bit and there's one hell of a player in there.

the earlier comparison to pires is spot on.

I remember watching something that said how Nuno likes to create scenarios in game that lead to 1 v 1's (see Traore). From what I have seen this move would support that

I know they're rare but if we can do deals where it solves 2 problems at once by getting certain players out at the same time then that is the absolute ideal scenario.

Also our medical department have just been gifted 40 hours less work per week! They must be buzzing.
Yeah seems like Paratici has realised the best way to get rid of the deadwood is to structure them into our purchases. Lots of talk of Sanchez being included in the (attempted) Kounde deal too, so looks like we're trying to move him on in the same way.

Hopefully we can get rid of a few players this way.

Gil?! Jesus Christ Paratici is an absolute don.

This kid is a baller, get excited folks. Barca and City have been tracking him for a couple of seasons and he's already good enough to start for us at 20. I'm so impressed this is so good

you do realise, it's not done yet? ...

Pires? I remember Pires being more of a pass and move player, rarely standing players up and then destroying them. This lad looks more like a young Ryan Giggs with the same snake hips.

Not if we are selling Kane to fund it all!

If he goes he goes. We cant do much IMO.
But what matters is the recruitment. We have done terrible recruitment over the last few years - as long as we make sure, we do the proper business, things will take care of itself in long run

Imagine if Paratici managed to convince Sevilla to give us Gil and Kounde for Lamela and Sanchez (topped up with cash)?

On Physicality, this is not pre-2000 era where league is extremely physical. Title is being won by City, most of their key midfielders are not physical players. What is important is, if he is mentally strong. If he is mentally strong, he will do well in PL.
Nuno might slowly bed him like he did with Neto in 19/20
