All jokes aside, they really not in a much better shape as you said. I think we're one or 2 players from having a very good side. And are on the up as a whole.
Pedro | Agreed terms with Chelsea
- Thread starter Ish
- Start date

We could easily challenge for the title if we sign a proper CB, add some pace to our right wing and start scoring some goals. It's just a matter of the team learning how to play together after that.
Well, if you buy into reported transfer "facts".
I long since gave up listening to any "club x has / hasn't bid £y for player z" - too many layers of bullshit. For all we know United have long since bid for Pedro and City haven't for KDB. Only thing that matters is signed contracts, and players parading around with the shirt.
Unsettled
Irrelevant how the transfer turns out. He didn't leave for PSG because we weren't a big enough club did he...
Luckily season just started so there's time. I'm sure we'll learn how to play with 2 more players. As I said not so much difference between us and City a the moment imo.
I agree with you although others don't, at this moment in time city are a far more attractive proposition for players than we are.
They have better players at the club in general
They have a few he knows already
Pellegrini is a better manager than Lvg
They can offer better transfer fees for the selling club
They can offer more in wages than us that will just be a case of paying what we don't want to pay
They have a far greater chance at winning the league
They have better chance at going further than us in the champs league (although they are miles away from winning it).
The only thing we've got going for us is the fact we have a heavy spanish presence in our team which would help him settle and the fact that he would be signing for Manchester United although that doesn't mean as much as people think nowadays.
Who knows where else he tried to stick it? Definitely unsettled
Valdes? He sure is. Although that gif is from ages ago, when he was still at Barcelona.
Given all the attackers we were linked to earlier in the summer, and the fact we still had ADM, it's hard to believe that we are desperate to sign a player that many would have turned their nose up to a few weeks ago, and we are now seemilingly waiting on his every word to see if he will consent to join us.
Not complaining I just find it an odd turn of events.

- Arguable
- Silva and Navas? Vs Mata and De Gea...I count 2 each
- In terms of what exactly? Trophies own? history? what?
- No they cant, FFP levelled the paying field
- See above
- 'Far greater' Last time I checked we have won as many PL trophies as they have this decade..
- Before we have qualified yes, but what have they done that makes you think this?
@Mali_Zeus is on a wum. It's been the same for days now.
Yep, I told him to cut it out days ago because he wasn't funny.
As for Pedro, City can't get both him and KDB. I'm not sure he'd like being their second choice target as I am sure they will end up getting KDB eventually.
From top to bottom, utter shite has been spouted.
Not sure if this is a WUM, but if it isn't its utterly ridiculous.
You bald, orange-shaped head of a fool. Play a record.
Man moths?
I was originally kidding buy literally all of your points are wrong.
I never knew pedro's current home is camp nou
I have no idea what's going on with this transfer. I honestly can't see us refusing to cough up 2-3mill more for him. LVG says its up to Pedro but if reports are true Pedro told Barce ages ago he wants to leave.
So what the hell is going on? Why haven't we tied up this deal yet? Smells like Ramos all over again. Wouldn't be suprised if he just stays or move to PSG. Maybe he doesn't want to come to us but still wants to leave Barce, preferring London or another european City. Would explain why he's leaving it so long maybe, I don't know!

Laughable.
This one looks dead in the water.
???
The definition of dead in the water must have changed since I was a nipper.
I bet Barcelona want to drag this out til the last day of the window and if possible, have a bidding war for him.
Just seen Ballbags statement if true

Sigh, whats he said now?
City have bid or something.
This window went from being excellent to proper shite, so much negativity now
Ahh phew, yeah I saw that earlier.
All it takes is a few weeks of no signings. The fans just want buys buys buys all the time. The thrill of getting our business done early has worn off so people want more, when they aren't getting it there is negativity.
If we signed Otamendi now, people would be over the moon and predicting title wins. By deadline day if we hadn't signed Pedro..after 2 weeks of nothing, the same people would be predicting us 3rd/4th.
Then when the window shuts and we can't buy players, fans start to develop a little more reason.
I think the key is whether city can get KDB or not? The fact they've made an offer for Pedro says either they don't think they can or they want both...
I am not so sure KDB will leave Wolfsburg this window. He doesn't seem to be agitating for a move, and Wolfsburg have plenty of money.
He's not going to City. Just like Van Persie didn't go there either.
LVG's comments make this look pretty fecking nailed on. Ballbag is, as usual, clueless. City have one space for a non-hg, they can't be going for Pedro, De Bruyne and Otamendi all at the same time, at least two of them ain't happening.
Barca are probably trying to force our hand by leaking stories about City.
The situation seems pretty straightforward. He wants to come, we want him and Barca are open to selling him to respect his wishes. The rest seems like games to get a decent fee. I'd expect this to be done.

Erm no it doesnt.
I do not know why people are freaking out it is obvious Barca are just stalling. Not our fault.
Doubt there will be any news before the Spanish Supercup is finished (first leg is tonight).
