By the way, I wouldn’t be put off by his age, you’d probably get 3-4 good years out of him. CB’s mature later and can play into their 30s easily. Just look at Siva at Chelsea, obviously he has been a world-class player where as Carlos is a bit of an unknown. His attributes are exactly what we need mind, pace, power, aggression and athleticism so we can play higher up the pitch and play it out from back. Ake would be cheaper and much better!

 

One of his major attributes is his pace and power. While I agree that he'll probably still retain those for the next two to three years, I don't think we'd want to pay €60m for the privilege, because those attributes are going to decline after that. By the time we are in a position to be playing CL he might well be on the way down, so I think we'll look to build incrementally. Botman would be a much better investment long term.

According to this lot, we have agreed to sign Diego Carlos. Although I'm not sure the reputation.

 

Also, sorry if giggs.

 Recently got to watch Barca play Seville at Camp Nou. Kept a really close eye on Carlos...

Really confident, an absolute specimen of an athlete and actually had a lot of composure. Seemed similar to Schar in his approach to bring the ball out, but with a little more of a steely edge defensively. No real scout report or anything new, but was good to see him live. Definitely looked the real deal.

Not saying there’s anything in it, but interesting to consider if that was a scenario. I’d be fucking delighted with that outcome.
 

 


I’d take Paqueta over both.

 No thanks 

Why not? Seems decent from YouTube scouting. Second top scorer in La Liga after  Benzema. 
 

edit: 15 goals from 30 league appearances for Espanyol this season sounds decent. Good record previous years too.

I don't want anyone....keep as we are...nobody likes change!

 

Somewhere between what you said and "buy an entire new squad, this lot aren't good enough for top 6" is probably where we need to be aiming.

I think Nketiah might be worth pursuing. Not exactly top pedigree but he looks like he's got potential.

 

Has really looked good of late. Such a threat in behind and running with the ball. Going to be on a free too, could be a very shrewd pick up at the right time of development for him.

Is he even an upgrade on Dubs? Genuine question as I don't watch Man U.

Haven’t seen him enough to say. Got rave reviews in his time at Sheff United but don’t think he’s had much game time since.
