    According to Ms Saxet - who speaks Mexican fluently - 'Paredes' means 'walls'. Perhaps our own Mex can confirm this.

    But what a great name for a defender. None shall pass unless they buy an ice cream.

    If he ever ships out to South London he might be 'Wall's Wall.

    I've been considering options for new flooring - should I think about Paredes to Paredes carpeting?

    I'll get mine too...

    When Deeney gives his team talk and says "this stays within these 4 walls" do you reckon Paredes turns round to his interpreter and says "but there's only one of me".
