As long as we were successful, he'd at least have paid his transfer fee back by himself assuming we'd make a profit on him at that age, and we could then re-invest that back into the team. Four seasons out of the player wouldn't be that bad considering that after 3-4 seasons you have to look at freshening the team up again anyway.

Anyone watching him right now, playing the forward role in a 4-3-3, He's awesome... takes on 5 players, then uses a stop and go motion and just dummies them and makes a through ball... The fwd should be ashamed of not finishing it... He was so good, Genoa had to keep fouling him and man marking him...
He would be ideal for the Behind the role striker in a 4-5-1 and he's stamina is amazing too, I was very impressed with his off the ball movement and his positioning. Certainly Palermo's best player.
He had the free role for Palermo, he was simply everywhere and started all of Palermo's best moves.
Too bad they lost because an offside goal...

I hope Fergie was watching that game.
Barca are back in or it maybe just a ploy to up the price for him..

There's nothing in that, but then there was very little in the original story.
Does anyone know if his agent has made a statement on this? He's the one whose supposed to have been in Manchester?
Pretty much what people thought. Looks like our interest is genuwine however... Would be interesting to see how Fergie would plan on using him and Rodwell if both brought.
Pretty easy, Pastore would be a forward, will not have much defensive responsibilities and will be the key player in 4-3-3 as he'll need the free role to excel imo.
Rodwell would be a box-to-box type who has the stamina to run up and down to stop play and attack, he'll be the engine type player who can play in a 4-4-2 or will be the DM MF in the 4-3-3 but with the ability to roam up forward similar to Fletch.

You bet he was or at least his scouts were. If we are looking into signing a player and if we are ready to make an offer, you can bet your balls Fergie or his scouts will be watching the lad play!
City or bs!
Why?
That's one of the worst examples of someone trying to start a bidding war that I've seen in a while. So, you don't want to sell Pastore, its not the off season but as the president you openly come out and talk about a supposed offer, oh and for 50m euros? Oh and conveniently he hasn't responded to the supposed offer, allowing other teams to rival that completely made up bid. Give me a break.
What a way to raise the price, link the player with Citeh, RM, Chelsea... Its getting boring.
absurd price-tag....
Radio kiss kiss? Italians are a bunch of benders.
Maurizio Zamparini thinks he's played a blinder.
We wont be spending 43m on a midfielder. That's pretty much evident considering that we still have to bring in a new keeper and probably a new winger too.
Why a new winger?
Napoli want to team up Hamsik with Pastore. That will be a good midfield. I hope one of them ends up here this summer.
It's funny because I'd like to do the same but at Old Trafford.
Valencia is a good winger, Nani is world class, Park is a hard worker (period), Giggs is old, Cleverley is unknown material, he may become a great winger or the next Richardson). The rest would struggle against Crawley. I dont think that bringing in a flank man is our main priority. On the other hand, if money is available then I wouldn't mind not ending up like this season were we really struggled on the flanks.
50m 
We don't need a new winger we fine there we've only struggled this season as they have been injured or on loan.
The obvious reason to get a new winger is that aside from Giggs we don't have a natural leftie. Wouldn't be too surprised if we reignited our interest in Dougie Costa.
If a €50 million bid was made I'm sure he wouldn't be debating it.
Typo.
Either way it's too large of a fee for Pastore, he hasn't even played for a top club yet.
I think we've established top players are very expensive these days...
£40m? do it, the kids got so much potential, he's silky golden diamond silk.
Doesn't surprise me though. I said all along before anyone on the caf had even noticed him this lad is very special. Madrid had a £21 mil bid turned down. I expect a lot of the clubs are willing to throw a lot of money around before the ffp regs come in properly. City and Chelsea really need to.
it would be similar to the price we paid for Anderson and maybe even Ronaldo, considering the fees in the Jan window
What are you on? What in the world of holy crap are you talking about?
you take anderson's fee and then ronaldo fee's, then divide it by two and you get: Pastore fee!
comprende.
comprende.
The price being talked about here is outrageous.
The lads is arguably the worlds best young talent is a far better prospect than the likes of Andy Carrol, just signed a new contract and is being courted by all the top clubs in Europe. This is the last transfer window before all the financial farplay regs come into force. Outrageous they may be, but they are understandable.
Quite honestly i'd be comfortable with the club paying this for him. As long as we can afford to.
Pastore is worth it. As i've said before; irrespective of the fee paid for him to Palermo - as soon as he joins a top team he becomes untouchable; his price would sit much higher than whatever was paid to Palermo to get him in the first place.

Rumour doing the rounds is, that the €50 mil offer came from city on the final days of the January window. As I said it's just a rumour from a few sports sites.
