André

[Asa's left peg]

He looked very composed defensively for a guy his age - really good, so I would think he could help us immediately in that regard but Rodri contributes so much offensively with passing and scoring, we would loose that from games.

So I'd rather blow an extra 30 mil on Paulinha. Andre is a slow burner but will be good.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Back then he was only worth 3000, now it's 30M apparently.

That's inflation for you...

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Got a great engine, will need some acclimatising if we go for his though, he still has that 'rawness' players from South America have. Learn a bit of la pausa and he seems to have the required qualities.

Andre may well be satisfied being a squad player, for now at least, Paulinha probably wouldn't.

Paulinha walks into our XI at the moment for me!

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Could be a very Ande signing

And if his second name is Rieu then he can give us a violin recital at HT.

We have plenty of room for both.

Phillips leaving leaves us very short, Paulinha could fit in immediately, Andre is a med/long term investment.

either Andre or Paulinha would be most welcome asap!

if we intend to play 2 DM s yes, but as Pep doesn't normally then no.

We have been short of Midfield players for some time, the game is changing and our MF looks slow and slightly lethargic.

We need some pace and energy in there, and I am not sure Pep trusts Foden to go in there long term.

Kovacic was a stop gap and Nunes long term has question marks.

Andre at 30m is well worth a punt and is clearly a huge talent, Paulinho could come straight in and hit the ground running, Rodri needs help on the field and also needs to be playing less games.

Anything KDB gives us this season will be a huge bonus.
