IMO. Pedro could be a more or less a good option but never for our starting eleven. He has been marginalized in Barcelona the last two years, but he has plenty of experience in big games and is a good player to make revulsive during games. Although he is no better than Willian (far from it) and we have Cuadrado. Maybe could have opportunities with us as right-winger and third striker, but never in the starting eleven.

And The Sun speaks about an offer of 100 million pounds per Varane and Bale.

IMO. I think Varane has decided to leave Real Madrid this summer and come with us. In fact the Spanish press says that Ancelotti will play on Sunday with Ramos - Pepe again.

And there are also rumors about Giannelli Imbula.

IMO. This guy is an absolutely perfect choice to replace and improve the role of Mikel with us. Maybe the price is a little high, but he and Kondogbia would be interesting options.

Yes! Pedro! Been saying the club should take a look at him for a while now. He's a great option.

Is he like Navas?

Is he like Navas?

Hi friend!

I think both are similar, but Navas is better able to make dribbles and to passes from deep on the side, and Pedro has more ability to reach a goal and he is more vertical in the grass.

I think both are alike in that they are perfect to revolutionize matches but not to be part of the starting eleven of a great team.

Pedro could be a good option for us when the defenses are enclosed in the box because he is able to play in tight spaces.

Both are perfect to take the place of the number 12 player.

Although I would not do this signing. IMO.

Regards.

1. Buy Varane or eventually Laporte. Down the order Manolas and even further down Stones.

2. Add high calibre player like Isco, Reus or Koke as 3rd choice from this bunch. Pogba sadly is unlikely.

3. Turn Mikel and Ramires into 1 but quality option. Schneiderlin or Gomes or Matuidi.

4. Add RLC to the fold.

5. Bench goalkeeper.

6. Different striker to Diego. Either very technically gifted or very strong with playing back-to-goal and in the air. Dybala or Benteke.

My priority list. First and second are interchangeable.

I know that there's enough money to pull all of this.

On top of our own resources we can fetch 180-200m€ from sales from our own players from current loan army and couple of first team players that those players above would replace. I'm sure all of this is doable.

Pedro actually has end product unlike Navas.

[We Hate Scouse 10,326]

Fuck off Pedro. Cretin.

[supporter 3,088]

I also think his time has passed ...

When Guardiola coached Barcelona he was able to stand out, but now he is totally missing / missed.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Stones, Andre Gomes & an elite winger should be the targets this summer. Possibly an attacking fullback as well. Jose went from Cole, Zanetti, Maicon & Marcelo to freaking Apzi/Ivanovic. Still gutted we couldn't close the deal for Luke Shaw.

Andre Gomes especially should be on Jose's mind considering they both share the same nationality. I'll be furious if we blow our money on a bang average player like Koke instead of a nailed on WC player.

I have'nt seen enough of Valencia tbh, is Gomes really that good? i mean if you compare him to Gundogan, Thiago, Cesc, Pogba, Modric etc... is he good on the ball in the same way as them? creative? quick thinking?

I see his name thrown a lot but didnt understand what does he do.

how often have you seen Koke play? In your opinion Oscar is world class and Koke bang on average right?

[supporter 3,088]

Within a year all of us will love Koke madly. Time to time.

He's potentially a better player than Pogba. I've been watching a lot of Valencia recently and I'm in awe by the things he regularly pulls off. For me Andre Gomes is kind of like a bizzaro mix of Vieira, Zidane & Lampard.

He's physically dominant which is emphasized by his height (6'2) and weight 83 kg but unlike most players that hasn't hampered his skill, explosiveness & close control. He genuinely moves like most of those techno-midgets you mentioned. He's incredibly versatile and Santo has played him in various roles already this season (DM, AM, CM, LW). He's equally good with both feet and can ping balls with ease all over the park, right or left. I also think with his shooting technique he can be a 10 goal a season player. Like Lamps he gets his shot off very quickly and also has the "fakes" in his arsenal Lamps also used to pull off to create space for a strike at goal.

This is a great video on him one of my mates made.

What exactly does Oscar have to do with this discussion, I've had enough of those senseless, agenda-driven discussions to last me a lifetime? And I've been watching Atletico regularly since Torres' first spell, through the Forlan days till this current era under Simeone. He's average yeah.

Why settle for 3rd best when there are better options available?

[jasonlol 154]

gomes or koke , pedro, laporte and some back up keeper; would be a great set of buys

I want Verratti and Pedro, i think we would walk the league again with this.midfield and attack.

Verratti - Matic

Pedro - Fabregas - Hazard

Costa

[nadavTKL 1,787]

But Verratti is a very unrealistic option, only possibility is that PSG get Pogba AND Real wont go vor Vertatti, than we have a chance.

[Ainsley Harriott 2,732]

Gomes is nowhere near worthy of the hype that he has. A mix of Viera, Lampard and Zidane? LOL please.

From METRO.

Chelsea ‘eyeing sensational £130million triple transfer raid on Real Madrid to sign Gareth Bale, Raphael Varane and Jese Rodriguez’.

http://metro.co.uk/2015/04/26/chelsea-eyeing-sensational-130million-triple-transfer-raid-on-real-madrid-to-sign-gareth-bale-raphael-varane-and-jese-rodriguez-5167730/#mv-a

Chelsea handed massive boost to complete £15million transfer of Real Madrid winger Jese Rodriguez.

http://metro.co.uk/2015/04/26/chelsea-handed-massive-boost-to-complete-15million-transfer-of-real-madrid-winger-jese-rodriguez-5167684/#mv-b

If this is true would be the best operation in years. A GREAT MADNESS!

Jesse was one of the big promises of world football before his injury last year.

He has a style very similar to Cristiano Ronaldo game and his best position is as false 9 (as Messi in Barcelona), a position in which he played with Real Madrid Castilla.
