Can't see Koke coming here
Koke (For the Summer)
- Thread starter Devil may care
- Start date
I think Koke will be at Atletico at least as long as Simeone is there (and Simeone has just extended his own contract until 2020).
He'd be a big bust.
I can see him going to Barca as their big summer signing, otherwise just staying put.
Barca cannot sign anyone.
Koke is my dream signing.. We should go all out to get him..
Oops!
He should stay away from Barca, he is the main man and an absolute star for Atletico, will never be that at Barca.
Like Pogba, There's no hope of Koke coming here. Koke will defo eventually end up at Barcelona in a season or two. Pogba will end up at Madrid more than likely or PSG, Man City will offer him crazy salary too.
I honestly think Van Gaal may go for Strootman over the summer and then play Rooney in midfield and very slowly ease Strootman back into the team to prevent any set-backs. Hector Herrera is another wonderful and very gettable central midfielder out there but may be a bit light weight for the PL. If Van Gaal gets players of the calibre of Bale and a good striker over the summer then I can defo see him putting Rooney back into midfield as long as there is someone else up front that can score goals consistently for the team which we don't currently have apart from Rooney

True... So he will probably be a winter signing
He doesn't really care about such things IMO.
Not in the Ronaldo mould, not even close, but I am sure he loves and appreciates it how the whole Calderon adores him. He won't get the same support at Barca.
But he may get an extra 25 million or so over a five year contract... Plus a few million to sign plus no doubt his personal advertising endorsements would become much more valuable
He might love being the main man... But does he love it enough to turn down thirty million (plus playing for arguably the biggest and best team in the world and alongside arguably the best player ever)
Well he has already turned them down at least once!
He's already replaced Xavi from the national team and Barca might make sense but I think he'll stay put for a couple of years and see how Simeone's project evolves and if he can build a dynasty like SAF did for us. I don't see him going anywhere for atleast 2-3 years.
No, they actually can. They just can not register him until the winter window.

I certainly hope not, particularly if it's at the expense of Herrera.
If we are going to buy a midfielder I hope it is him or Gündogan (or both)...
I think he should be the priority signing for United this summer.He is already the mainstay for Atletico and will soon be indispensable in the national team. Runs many miles every game ,has character, good short pass and long pass and has 23 years. Surely City will also bet strong for him. It would be perfect to prevent that he goes before or after to Barcelona 
Id love for us to sign Gundogan. Id prefer Koke but Gundogan is more realistic. I don't know how he's been doing this season, probably not that well considering Dortmund are struggling but he was really good two seasons ago and i think he would fit right into LVG's philosophy.
If Atletico remains competitive and wins a title or two in the next year or so, I can see him and Simeone staying there for a long time. That is a big if but...
Considering they won't win the league this season I don't think they're going to win a title or two in the next year or so.
Absolutely brilliant player. Would love for us to have him.
Guess you could say I'm a bit of a Koke Addict.
