To run harder, or Arda Turan; That is the question: The (ahem) Winter Transfer Thread

Then that's what he deserves.

Why the hell not United?

 

Wasn't he full of praise for him recently?

I know now... It was Stoitchkov! [emoji23]

 

Yeah, smart by Pedro to not trust LVG (I heard he disliked LVG's treatment of both Valdes and De Gea), but he then got snookered by Mou, talk about foolish. Actually Mou was not such a Pedro fan, supposedly Abramovic was behind wanting Pedro. SO really stupid of Pedro if true.

As for Adama, we got a bunch of money it seems and a buyback too, so seems a decent deal though without Pedro he could've been useful. I have not seen his intelligence questioned, more that his game is a bit one dimensional - very fast and direct attacks relying on speed and strength to unsettle - which works great against younger, slower, weaker opponents but maybe less so against veteran adults who realize what he is doing. Sort of think Tello here and that might help.

 

I'm glad Pedro is going but I NEVER expected him to go with the antiChrist Jose !!!

I feel violated

 

If we're supposedly short in midfield why no simply recall Song ?? Has to be better than S Roberto .

 

Song is injured indefinitely (ankle) which is why West Ham stopped trying to ink him permanently and is not in Lucho's plans, and is actually not better than S. Roberto at DM for Barca, and neither seem capable of playing Attacking midfield for Barca.

 

Pedro to Chelsea...? Vomit.

 

I think it was a few factors. LVG's treatment of Valdes and De Gea (and probably Falcao and Di Maria - still not sure how the best player on Madrid didn't fit in to a poor United side).

Also, apparently LVG is happy with his attacking options (I guess Depay is the next big thing after his "totally awesome" performance against Brugge yesterday).

Then, according to this article, it was Mou and the Crybaby Fabregas himself: http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/aug/19/pedro-chelsea-cesc-fabregas-manchester-united

Or that LvG wasn't too keen on Pedro as has been hinted for weeks.

United need a creative winger and Pedro is not that.

 

Agreed that Pedro isn't a creative winger, but there's no way we'll know for sure what LVG really thought. As it stands, United are struggling to score, and I don't know how many players of Pedro's ilk are available to choose from.

 

Pretty sure Pedro won't contribute much on the scoring front wherever he ends up .. They said maybe the change will do him good - who knows ..

 

Nolito: I would not mind substitute role at Barcelona

Please just get him.. he´s a better dribbler than Pedro and would come cheaper I suppose than the 30€ Chelsea paid. I remember how he tortured LPB in the wing.. as well as Barca!!

 

Still can't believe that Pedro is having anything to do Jose after everything he's said and done to Barca over the years !

 

Maybe he's there to accelerate and end José second reign at Chelsea?! While both him and Barça get good deals. [emoji23]

 

1 - pedro leaving sucks
2 - pedro leaving, when he can't be replaced, sucks
3 - pedro leaving, and joining mou's chelsea, sucks

i just hope Rafinha/Munir/Sandro step up.

 

i'm not sure about that. i think one of Oscar or Willian will end up on the bench. probably Oscar.

i don't get it. why would City be a less likely option for Pedro than Chelsea?

 

Right I'm genuinely concerned !
TalkSport reporting newsflash that Pogba is due to sign for Chelsea in the coming days ..
£69 million / 85 million Euros .. Salary £300,000 a week AFTER tax !
Worse than that is that respected journalist Shaun Custis has broke a story saying that Man United ( Woodward ) are progressing in talks with Barca's NEYMAR !!!!!

WTF !!??

 

Man.city would've been a better chance for Pedro to be in the starting 11 than Man.U or Chelsea , Was it the Agent decision or Pedro ?
