I am loving this we are crying out for a back up/competition to bouba

I don't see him as a replacement for Dougie, we already have Youri, Barkley & even McGinn who can play that role, what we need is cover/competition for Bouba who's out for the first few months at least. At his age, Barrenechea looks a great addition, far better than McKennie imo. Add Iling Jr to the mix and this is a great deal with two young promising players joining the club.

Tranfermarkt have Mckennie's value at €28 million & Enzo's at €7.5 million, that's a €20.5 million difference which on top of the €20 million is €40.5 million on top of the 2 players coming our way. I don't see us getting it & i believe we're selling ourselves short on Dougie, he should've been worth £70-80 million with midfielders at a premium nowadays.

I absolutely LOVE this instead of McKennie

My hot take, he's going to be a regular for Argentina in the next 12-18 months. I've got a good feeling.

I'm liking the look and sound of this guy. Between him and the Iling-Senior lad they could be a couple of very astute signings

Whilst I definitely prefer this individual signing over McKennie, I was hoping that we would be making a statement signing at DM in July; Someone along the lines of a Youssouff Fofana, some who can also play alongside Kamara, when Kamara is back fit. I personally saw McKennie more as a RB option, who can also provide cover across all the midfield spots. And I seen Youri and Barkley as the Luiz replacements. Enzo coming in suggests to me there is no other DM coming in, as I doubt he signs if he isn't assured of some game time at this stage of his career, and we cannot stockpile players - we are still in serious need of getting rid of squad bloat (Coutinho, Dendonker, Chambers, Olsen, plus one of Digne/Moreno for Maatsen, Carlos - if we are signing a new CB, probably Cash if we are signing a RB, as well as loaning out Sousa and probably Nedeljkovic?). CM: Tielemans, Barkley DM: Kamara, Enzo Then obvously McGinn can cover both too when needed & also Youri & Ross can play together, like Luiz/McGinn/Tielemans did last season if needed - surely we don't have injuries woes as bad as last season? Surely!? :| I have my concerns with Enzo being the sole DM whilst Kamara is out given the inexperience and Kamara is potentially out till the new year?

Looks like a proppa number 6. Looks like he could play next to Kamara if we play a double pivot. Definitely plays well under pressure.

Love these videos! Completely unrelated to the topic, but with the rumor that Forest might be in for Bogarde and our preference for swap deals I had a look at their squad. Do you think we’d have any interest in Andrew Omobamidele?

I’m pretty sure monchi will be looking for the monetary difference

He feels like younger Dendoncker

Afternoon Neil. Can’t help thinking FFP has forced us to take this deal and we are loosing a top talent and gaining two prospects and €20-25m. Seems Juve are getting the better of us in this instance, as are Chelsea with the high fee for Maatsen but he is a good player with plenty of growth still. Still think we are lining up a big signing this window after 1st July, as per the last two windows I would love to us go all out for Goncalves. In addition, Todibo and we are almost there

I'm happy with this. UTV

I'm a little disappointed Mckennie has dropped out of the deal. One of those players you will give a task to & he'll carry it out to the letter. Useful in a number of positions...Weston's biggest weakness....he can be used in a number of positions & at his age still doesn't have a set role. Quite excited for Barrenchea, promising stats & has a position he plays regularly. Young enough for UE to mould

Much prefer this to McKennie. Seems like a genuine backup to Kamara.

Personally incredibly excited for this one (maybe even more excited than Iling-Jr), it’s a young talented DM who has the ability to have an incredibly well rounded profile at the top level with Emery’s guidance. Could be a mad shout but i sat down and watched two games of him, and a few comps and he reminds me a-bit of Rodri. Makes me rest easy that when the Real Madrids and Barcas most likely do come for Kamara, we can mould this bloke into that position to make that eventual deal sting a lot less.

feel villa are selling low luiz really is £80/100m all day but going for £60m this kid £20-£25m illing £20-£25m maatsen £37.5m all 3 hardly any experience but high fees we say £40m for duran and suddenly it’s to much just want the psr moves done
