Given all of the business we need to do, I am desperate to see Paratici move quickly. It would be a refreshing change from Levy's penchant for squeezing pennies until the last possible minute.
 
Bullshit. We couldn't get 25m for him 3 years ago when he had the buy out, no way they think they are getting that now.
Yup.

If the club thinks we can get £25m for Toby on his huge wages, then Levy is still in charge of outgoing transfers. Not Paratici.

Which kinda defeats the purpose of hiring a DoF.
 
Anyone who though our new ‘DoF’ was anything other than a scout/agent go between, was insane. Thinking levy would forgo negotiations? Never gonna happen. Some how Danny boy got it into his head that he’s actually good at this shit. Look at the squad. That will tell you just how good he is.
 

30 mil bid made for Joaquin Correa according to Alfredo Pedulla (Italian journalist).
PSG's counteroffer is 10 mil+ Pablo Sarabia.

One interesting tidbit here is that Correa is represented by Alessandro Lucci, an agent who Paratici did a fair deal of business with over the years at Juventus. Other Lucci clients include Cuadrado, Bonucci, Perrin and most recently Kulusevski (had a different agent when he joined Juve, but switched to Lucci over the recent season).

Levy is still signing the cheques so they’ll be no difference to how we will complete deals. He’ll still be there moving the goal posts off and pissing off clubs at the last minute.

Is he any good?

I watched Serbia Portugal earlier this year, and he got wrecked in the air twice by Jota, which led to goals. Not keen.

Interesting you should say that -

there's 8:50mins of footage of him here and funnily enough it's all of him defending (admittedly very nicely and cleanly) on the ground.

not a single header.

Looks decent. Operates as a sort of second striker making runs off of Immobile at Lazio. Has scored 30 goals and made 18 assists in 117 games for Lazio since joining them in 2018. 26 years old so in or just about to hit his peak years.
 
New to the forum so just wanted to say Hi. Season ticket holder for 16 years. Hoping Levy allows Paratici to manage the football side of things. Hope to see an overhaul this summer as the square definitely needs a revamp - shift the likes of Aurier, Sissoko, Lamela, Sanchez for starters. Need two new CB's who would start (Andersen + Skriniar). And let Scarlett, Skipp, Sessegnon get involved this season.
Welcome
 
tbh I want two of Milenkovic/Skriniar/Kounde/Anderson

the defence needs an complete overhaul. the days of Dier Sanchez and Aurier falling into fouls has to go. We need to get serious.

Our defence let us down badly last year. It's much more important than trying to overhaul guys like Lucas/Lamela/Bergwijn and Alli cause those guys rotate in and out anyway. whereas we 're starting Aurier/Dier and Sanchez nearly every game.

Not only that but our poor defense lead to a breakdown in our offensive threat as well. It isn’t like Dele, Bergwijn, or Lucas or going to become superstars with a competent defense, but it does give them more opportunities to shine in the areas of the pitch that they are more effective. We can’t be pinned down for 70 minutes and hope for them to be successful.
