Really thought this one was in the bag. Hope Woody has someone to make up for this mess.
Pedro | Agreed terms with Chelsea
- Thread starter Ish

I'm slightly angry and confused. Bit of a bloody joke that we've managed to screw this up over seemingly peanuts.
There aren't any top class strikers available. Memphis gets injured we are screwed.
There is no legally binding release clause. Neymar is injured so of course Barca wanted to string it out till the cup games were done. And obviously that left time for Chelsea to suddenly offer a stint in London to the player. If Pedro really wanted United he'd be going there.
Not really bothered, nor do I suspect LVG is. He's 28 and not exactly a world beater.
I'm pretty sure you've just made people up for the sake of your post.
1) They both can't play every single game. 2) If Depay gets injured we're properbly buggered.
What a joke.
Ugh, what a mess. I'm done!
Is this thread at the "I-wasn't-too-fussed-anyway" stage yet?
You'd think he'd only fly out there if he knew he had a deal in place though. The papers reported that he went there, offered €25+5m, got turned down and went home empty handed.
I have trust issues when it comes to the transfer window.
This........Pedro is a top player but Memphis, Mata and Rooney are all starters and then Adnan will become a mainstay with games in the team.....So I am happy if LVG decided that developing Adnan is a better choice
Mass consensus everywhere seems to be he's off to the chavs. Our handling of this transfer has been bizarre - seemingly such an easy deal to complete if we wanted to. You'd like to think we must have other targets in mind but the ones you'd hope for (Muller or Bale perhaps?) are wildly unrealistic or nigh on impossible. Frustrating.
Manager decides against signing him after weeks of pursuing him? I really don't get Van Gaal if this is true. If.
Well, that desescalated quickly...
Young has proven to be a decent player, not good enough to be a starter but certainly enough as a back up for a top club.
Then I guess Van Gaal decided that moving Memphis wide would give us the pace on the flanks we're lacking, and his quest for Muller shows he wants a number 10 better suited to his system. Who knows made Adnan can become the new Jari Litmanen?
Imposters!!
the only viable reason for this surely has to be Pedro playing predominantly on the left, wanting regular football and us unable to guarantee it with the potential of Memphis
as I type I realise this is bullshit though as Pedro would be competing with Hazard for that role

Voted 'No' on him joining in the first place when the vote came up so not overly fuzzed he's not coming. He's a good player but I expect better if we're going to replace one of Mata and Rooney. Also really want Pereira and Januzaj to be given chances this season.
Pedro is a much better flank man than Mata ever was or ever will be
Pretty sure we'll have someone else in sight.
LvG better have one hell of a decent card up his sleeve if Pedro ends up at Chelsea! Makes sense that Mourinho would go in for him as he's well priced for what you would get and there are question marks over the fitness and/ or form of all of their strikers. These are the kind of signings that decide who are the real contenders and who are the also rans.
what happened the last time both us an chelsea were in for the same player?
Where are the goals going to come from?
If he was so close to CFC, why nothing on Sky Sports, they are usually all over stuff like this.
If this is true...LVG has publicly said that we lack creativity / pace up front so either Woody has cocked this up big time, or we have a better player lined up - I hope it is the latter. We have had enough time to wrap this one up.
Poor Willian and Cuadrado.
Hazard moves in the number 10 role that Oscar has been so crap at. Pedro plays left, Willian right. For whatever reason, LVG must have changed his mind.
You mean John Obi Mikel? Remember that?
Remember he's shit anyway.
Kai Rooney is more prolific than his dad atm. Maybe Wayne is pregnant with his wife.
What makes be slightly doubt this is that they bought Cuadrado in January, so would they really fork up more money on a winger?
Valencia?
Not overly bothered by this, i quite like this Memphis-Januzaj-Mata axis. It's the striker position that worries me and Pedro wouldn't have solved that anyway.
So we agreed terms with him ages ago but had been haggling over the payment method and now Chelsea have swooped in. Can only be a massive cock up by Woodward.
He should accept that we're not getting Muller.

What the hell..?
Done deal to Chelsea!
