The present, and seemingly perpetual, president used to be a great striker in the 80s. Too old???

Dhaka Abahani then. But I think most of the games are held in Dhaka.
BTW, I used to support Abahani, sky blues, they were affectionately called. Mohammedan, the black & whites, were our eternal rivals.

Yeah, they are playing in the national league.
I’m hearing that Liverpool is interested in Nicolo Barella an Italian wonderkid midfielder.
Kind of pricey at 50m Euros quoted. But if we sell on Keita to purchase Barella, I’m ok with that.
Keita had potential but he hasn’t been able to realize it because he has constantly been getting knicks and knocks.
I won’t shed a tear if Oxlade-Chamberlain was the one sold on either.
Hendo, Fabinho, Barella, would do just fine as a midfield trio with Milner as backup.

Jones?
Not instead of Barella - who is a good player, but Jones is one of our options, at the least, and very much like being that for the long time to come.

Makes no sense. Why would we spend that kind of money (specially when money is short) on a kid when we have an exciting talent in our own ranks.
Any investment in the midfield should be for a demi-Wijnaldum.
I’ve seen a few people on Twitter guarantee a Gini/Barella swap.
I know ITKs dreaming up swap deals that never happen has become a bit of a meme, but that one takes the piss, considering.

I see no problem having midfield options of Hendo, Fabinho, Barella, Jones, and Milner.
I’d just like us to move on some deadweight such as Keita and/or Chamberlain before doing so.
We will replace Wijnaldum for sure. We’ve learned our lesson about going short in one area and not replacing, I would hope!!

That name reminds me of Borini. Shivers

Edwards has pulled off quite a few blinders but I think that getting one of the crown jewels of Italian football, a mainstay of their national team, who’s tied down to a long-term contract, in a swap deal for a player whose contract has basically run out, is beyond his powers!

Barella is hardly a wonderkid at the age od 24. I also think we’ll be targeting a different type of midfielder.

Haven’t watched Inter much but Barella has always stood out. He is seriously good and at 24 his best years are ahead of him.
