Enzo Barrenechea - on loan at Benfica

[Footy-Vill]

There's no guarantees with this guy he hasn't played at any required level and I can't see him as being oven ready to replace Luiz.
Surely it's Onana and Barkley as the 6s.
If he adapts and settles then perhaps yes but have to take into account he's coming to a new country as well as settling into the club has to adjust to living here.

There's no guarantees with this guy he hasn't played at any required level ...

Well, he played in the Italian top division for most of last season.
My guess is that he's come in to learn the ropes and potentially replace a highly-valued midfielder next summer (2025). I think he has the attributes to be a right baller.

While I agree he probably still as a ways to go, he played 36 matches in Serie A last year?

It's because he got relegated last season.
And now has to step up to Champions League Level.
As well as adapting to Prem.
If he doesn't I guess he'll be sold on next season himself
And if develops into a baller he's someone who would be sold for PSR in future too

If he develops this season then it's great and becomes a viable option.
I have less concern about Sam Junior

[AV84]

I get your point about relegation but we have several players that got relegated before and they're doing alright.

I think there's a mixed record of players moving from Italy to England in recent seasons.
The Spain speaking element is most helpful though and I think that could see him settle.

I saw him as a good upgrade for Tim Iroegbunam from last years squad.
If we go on a bit of a domestic cup run he'll probably get more game time than the 15 Tim managed last season.

I'll make no claims about knowing either player well, but Barrenechea seems to me to have the higher potential.

He's already got a nickname, they call him The Cheetah.

Can't be doing with him sharing Bruno Fernandes' nickname.

The Baron sounds good

He's a defensive midfielder, not a left winger!
