We are going to need someone more aggressive beside DeJong
Leandro Paredes

Does he not fit the bill then
He's exactly the sort of player PSG should be looking to move on and freshen up their midfield. Earning 150K a week or similar and nothing special. Always thought he was a bit of a cnut, but that can be a bonus if he plays for your team. I would rather see us gamble on potential than go for an overpriced and overpaid Paredes though.
Every time I’ve watched him, he looks like a red card waiting to happen.
I don't think it's likely given the other huge holes in the first team, but I certainly wouldn't be against it.
Like I said in another thread for me this position is still the biggest issue
Proper cnut whenever I've watched him. Wouldn't mind that. Decent footballer too
Not excited by this prospect at all.
If Ten Hag is asking for it, I'll support it - though I fear he's going to end up with very little of what he asks for
Yeah but I’d be quite baffled if this fella is the top of his wish list to play alongside De Jong, seems rather left field.
He's an OK asset to have when your team has lots of possession. A regista type, great technique on his long passes (I guess shots too but they almost never go in).
He can dictate tempo but unfortunately he's way too unambitious with his through balls. I believe he has excellent vision but for some reason he barely ever utilises it. He'll break lines with ease a few times and then retreat back into his shell with a couple of hundred side/back passes. Just one of many reasons why he can be a frustrating player to watch.
Worst traits are he's a nightmare on defense and not nearly press resistant enough for high tempo football. He's painfully slow and very volatile with his tackles. Like a cone with a shotgun. He's also the designated team bastard; obviously likes to provoke and pick fights. Btw the extension he got at PSG just now was a +1 year that triggered automatically based on the number of appearances. If I had to guess PSG would rather offload than keep him this summer.
I thought he played okay in the handful of games I've seen him. Admittedly I've not seen much of him recently, but when Verratti was unavailable he at least looked better than some of the cloggers PSG occassionally used to stack their midfield with under Tuchel.
Has he dropped off in the last year or so or have I been hoodwinked with the "aesthetically he looks good" thing? I'm thinking the handful I've seen he may have been next to Danilo and Gueye, so probably it is the latter!
Yet when you look at his career stats it seems like he only had 3 red cards in his whole career.
He hasn't dropped off, he has never been good for PSG. He has the odd game where he looks good and then 20 where he plays at his actual level.
Astonishing. He genuinely seems to be absolute filth at times. I feel he’d be punished a lot more by PL refs.
Isn’t this the dip***t that faked an injury so he could fly back to Argentina and go to the Superclasico that was postponed?
On the plus side he's a very good player. But there's always a risk that the Harkonnens will track him down and try and kill him like they did with the rest of his House.
Surely Rabiot you're talking about and not Paredes?
Seems someone who hasn't bothered to kick on since joining PSG and happy with the money. Had some good potential when at Roma I thought, would be very disappointed if he was to come here.
Didn't he go to Russia for a bit?
I really rated him at Roma and was bemused Argentina didn't play him much at 2018 world cup but career stalled since then so would be a gamble for team needing 3-4 players to get them back into top 4.
Shit player and a proper cnut, I'd rather watch Fred play.
You're right, I totally scrubbed that from my mind. Yeah no way is he worth the gamble.
Complicating? Under £30M seems like a pretty decent deal in this market
He’s a £20m player.
Worthy of a £25m plus addons offer
Is this a signal that we are abandoning the De Jong deal?
Depends if the usual suspects start reporting alternative targets as well
He’s quite underrated imo. Whenever I’ve seen him play, he’s been pretty good. Also, he’s a full international and plays regularly for Argentina.
Yeah could become the new Argentinian trinity with Garnacho & Martinez
He’s not half the player Veron was and he struggled in the PL this is a £25M deal if they throw in Draxler or Idrissa Gueye as well then maybe.
Yeah I read that as *thunder clap* (/echoey powerful booming voice) THE ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE *orchestral dun dun duuhhhhh*
Should improve us. He will be a good but not elite choice obviously. More in line with the options of our rivals for 4-6, i.e., Arsenal and Spurs
I see we're getting desperate on here with the Frenkie move stalling. Stop trying to convince yourselves this would be a good idea.
Is he an upgrade on Fred? I have only seen him a few times and was rather underwhelmed, but would love to hear from PSG supporters.
No but better than McTominay
I'd rather we get a someone who hasn't hit his peak yet. Paredes is on the decline.
Not a fan of him.
I remember many in here thought he was very good before he went to PSG
