reminds me of the Pacheco signing.
We signed a teenage sensation striker from Barca, Was it Bojan? No, his name is Pacheco.
We signed a teenage fullback from PSG, was it Sakho? No, It was Mavinga.
We would never have been able to sign bojan jesus fecking christ, and pacheco is one of our very best young talents so I don't know what you're talking about there, putting him down, looks like we signed someone who could have a big future in Pacheco even if he isnt the great bojan
i like pacheco. i was just pointing out the similarities. and I know that we could not have signed bojan, probably could not have signed sakho either, or at least i imagine the price PSG would want for him would be based on his highest possible potential, making it too expensive of a risk.
Two players Joe who have shattered that particular train of thought Fabio Cannavaro ,Ivan Cordoba two centre backs who have had excellent careers both players vertically challenged shall we say.
I think Pacheco could flourish in the Premiership and eventually become a prominent figure in the Reds midfield ,his eye for a defence splitting pass is outstanding ,he reminds me of a young Djorkaeff in his pomp an attacking midfielder capable of the truly inspiring .
