Hey eds
Just noticed that we are interested in signing Leandro Parades, according to SSN.
Just wondering if you knew anything about it?
Cheers.
{Ed002's Note - Roma's Leandro Paredes may be sacraficed to add to the transfer budget this summer after a season on loan at Empoli, but the club would like to hang on to him if they can. He has also been of interest to a number of clubs including Milan, Fiorentina, Chelsea and Manchester City. There has been an approach made by Monaco and an offer from Leicester. He has also been offered to Bologna on loan as part of a deal for Diawara, but he is heading elsewhere.}

Don't know much about Paredes eds. Is he an attacking or defensive midfielder?
{Ed002's Note - Defensive.}

Would rather Medel if he is available.
{Ed002's Note - Medel won't be moving to Liverpool.}

Parades is not really defensive. He is a controlling midfielder like a Xabi Alonso.

He sounds simular to what we already have chaps tbh. Also eds has said above who has interest in him and the situation.

Ed1 said he believed incomings where over.
Is this just lazy journalism? There's calls for a cm and we watched empoli a lot last year (zielinski)
Or is this substance to this rumour?

Lazy journalism mate I would say. Eds would have said if there was anything in it.

He's comfortable playing back and has a wonderful long ball. with the speed we possess, would be a great skill to have to assist with the counter attack. Could be very beneficial. The CM's/ CAM's that we currently have want to play forward. He would go a long way in helping balance the mid field.
