What is his playing style?

Paredes often plays as a deep-lying playmaker, prompting comparisons with Xabi Alonso.

How has he performed this season?

Who Scored? Have him given him a rating of 7.44 this season and he is currently in their Russian Premier League team of the season.His rating is second best of any player in the league this season.

How has he caused controversy?

Paredas was accused of getting himself deliberately sent off in a game earlier this season so he could attend the Copa Libertadores final.He is a boyhood Boca Juniors fan and he was accused by Zenit supporters of getting himself a red card so he could travel back to Argentina to watch the first leg against River Plate.

The idol and the heir

When Paredes kicked off his career at Boca Juniors, he came through just as Juan Roman Riquelme ended his.Riquelme was already a club legend due to his formative years with them and Paredes idolised him.And as the pair crossed paths the veteran crowned his young team-mate as his successor.Asked about his hero, Paredes said: “He was the player I watched and liked the most. I learned so much from him, also when he was my team-mate.Video: Riquelme stuns Superclasico with brilliant free-kick4

“He was so important, fundamental, to my development as a footballer. He used to give me loads of advice when we played together and we still keep in touch. When he sees me play, he writes to me.“Before he stopped playing, he told everyone Id be his footballing successor. That was an immense honour for me.



Whatever the situation, though, I think that remaining NAPM to the bitter end is not necessary, personally. It's a personal decision, of course. For me, the removal of all Oystons and the installation of a new board and a receiver whose job is to sell the club, is what we all strived for. Owen may yet raise the £25m and return. Or seek to return.
