His fiance would not allow him to move to Barcelona. She wants him in Madrid and that's where he's supposed to be.

Would one of said infuriated players like to be as nice as to give up their place for Pedro maybe?
Their signings can't play until January, so they'd be relying on just Bravo and youth until then. Otherwse, De Gea for Ter Stegen as a swap would have been a great move for both parties.
Seems to be a late surge to the no camp.
I'd prefer swapping ter Stegen with De Gea than selling him to Madrid. Not that it will happen though.
Really hope City don`t get him.
Sterling + Pedro beside Silva with Aguero top and Toure behind looks a bit frightening.

Goalkeeping is the last position we need to make any changes too. Its already hard to choose between Ter Stegen and Bravo.
There are subplots to this saga that many fans aren't appreciating, the Sport claim is at the heart of the biggest one - the utter disdain for this shite board
It would be quite funny if Barcelona bid before the deadline and united accepted . That would leave ddg to publicly state that he wants to move to Madrid , which up to now he has not admitted too .
If there was no gentleman's agreement in place, we'd gladly pay well over 30mil. Weird but I guess pedro has assured us that he won't change his mind and thus we're looking to save some money.
1am. I can't take any more of this. I'm off to bed.
Ter Stegen is shite though
Yes, this particular saga seems to be highlighting a real duplicitous facet in the management area of the club.
Are we finally seeing Barca as they truly are?
Is Pedro being treated bad by Barca? It just seems he's not good enough to get into the first time, why are they being painted as the bad guys?
Breaking news: Naymar furious that he is playing more than Pedro.
I'm struggling with that myself. Not sure they could have behaved any differently? Unless they're quibbling over this "gentleman's agreement"? Perhaps it didn't differentiate between up front and staged payments?
Not to mention he was willing to sign a contract extension only a few months ago. So why is the Barca board bad? I'm frankly just curious here.
Hope this is wrapped up soon. I'll be furious if City nick him.
He really isn't.
Woody dithering as usual until other clubs come in
Messi to start tripping over the ball in protest just so Pedro gets more game time, Suarez to go on a biting spree.
More like seeing what Bartomeu is truly like (I.e. Rosell)
Would it not allow us to go for KDB? If city did get Pedro then KDB could be our next target, who knows he could actually be the main target.
Who knows what's happening behind the scenes. I hope its not a situation where we're pursuing an unattainable player like Bale or Ronaldo and wind up missing out on Pedro.
Like Moyes did with Fabregas 2 seasons ago, hopefully not. Bale would be a dream signing but its not happening this season, if he has another bad season we could go for him and get him at a reduced price.
I don't see what the Barca board has done wrong either, to be honest.
City fan on Pedro said:
From Sky Sports, looks like City are only interested in KdB, no one other than a few Spanish tabloids mentioning them in the race for Pedro.
He really is. Literally every time I see him i think 'he should have saved that' or he looks like he has a mistake in him
It never stops, does it..
How is it as usual?
So basically you don't see him all that often.
It's a continuous cycle at the moment.
Fellaini - dithering and then paying MORE than the release clause
Fabregas - dithering for weeks / months and losing other targets
Ottamendi - dithering and thinking he could sign Ramos
Herrera - dithering and delaying the signing for 12 months
I could go on
About a dozen times and literally every time there's been a mistake in him. He's shite

3 of those under the Moyes reign of terror when he was new in the job. Otamendi we don't even know for sure whether we're actually in for him.
Try again
This.
Go on but get your facts right first.Fellaini - dithering and then paying MORE than the release clause

Woodward's been quite sharp with our business this window.
Memphis right at the end of the season, Bastian, Darmian, Schneiderlin all sealed right before the USA Tour.
Now Pedro looks to be another on that list just as there seems to be some unrest with him at the Barcelona camp. Hard to decipher if we were ever in for Otamendi but yeah, all in all. Solid and relatively sharp business.
