Javier Pastore joins PSG

[Joshyboy 36]

You're being terribly overexaggerant here!

You can't judge a player's rating by watching youtube videos! Sure, he makes a couple of bad touches here and there, but as joshyboy said in his post that I gave him rep for, he's still very young, and will learn a lot more from working alongside bigger players. Some of the passes I saw in those videos were key passes, and I tried not to think of the bad moments because they're irrelevant! You have to think more positively, and comment on his positives, and how they will benefit our functionality as a team this season. I honestly believe he is the player we've been wanting for ages. Him and Di Maria from Real Madrid would make me a happy man! Only problem, is that Di Maria's value would be astronomical, and the FFP rules would catch us out! £70m is a lot of money to lose on two players!

Seconded!

The two facts i am pointing at :

1. Javier Pastore is not a passer , he is a midfielder who can dribble and score but don' expect assists or neat and weighted passes from him .
2. Pastore is not worth 30-40 millions as that is the worth of snieder and modric who are much better playmakers .

I know you all would like to think that Pastore is a superb player and the best playmaker around but he is not . i have always said that and i have always preferred modric to him

Don't get carried away because Palermo have apparently said Real Madrid and PSG are due for talks too

Source?

Real REALY dont need this guy with all their midfielders, and even if PSG wants him, he wouldnt go there.

But it IS because he's young and has bags of potential, if you take a look at alot of world class players you'll find they were picked out from mid-level teams and nurtured into become a super star, I mean no disrespect to Palermo but they hardly have the same ability to tutor and refine his talents into making him a much more rounded player, He does buck In which alot of assists and he scores alot of goals.

I'd even go so far as to say he reminds me of a younger Lampard but hes also got the ability to get past his marker which a silky touch, nutmeg or a touch of skill.

If AVB is building for the future then I'd say Pastore is ripe for the picking

Again... well said! :goodpost:

You have to think about this logically! Modric is 25 currently... he will be 26 in September, Redknapp has said many times now that he will not be sold! They're rating him at an astronomical price of £50m?? At this point, I would tell Sp*rs to take Modric, and shove him up their arse!

Pastore on the other hand, is 4 years younger than Modric, maybe somewhat cheaper than him as well! Not by much, but enough to make you think "this is not a bad move actually" ... Palermo have already said they're willing to sell him for a fee, and what's more... they don't need a player in return, which means the likes of Sturridge and Drogba can be kept! If we were bidding for Modric, we would have to include either of them as part of any deal, which I would not agree with!

I would love us to sign Pastore and watch him rip the shit out of Sp*rs this season. That would make my day!

SkyGraemeBailey Graeme Bailey Pastore very much now a saga, Zamparini has stated that PSG are set for talks along with Chelsea and Real Madrid could also make a move #cfc

My apologies, Real could make a move, not in talks

Seriously bro, no one thinks hes the second coming of Christ, but hes young and has yet to really refine his game he does chip in with assists and he can score goals and he can get a past a man, YES 30-40m is a steep tag, but In a few years he could be worth twice that.

I'm not a fan of his but look at CR7, completely unknown player, playing midlevel in a mid table team, got to Man U ... For £13m alot to spend on an utter unknown and he's become one of the top players In the world after learning from those around him. So yeah the price is high but we got the money! Modric has a great technical side to his game and is proven In prem but he doesn't have the same flair or the same potential I think hes got all hes ever going to have going for him, whereas Pastore is a talent (albeit an expensive one) we can mould and shape.

RANT OVER

League stats from last season:

Snijder- 5 assits in 25 games.

Modric- 2 assits in 32 games.

Pastore- 5 assits in 34 games

Btw, I would definitely preffer Sneijder over any AMF we might buy, but Inter dont want to sell I think, and off course his wages are too much,

so he isnt an option.

[chrismada9 1,948]

Javier Pastore is not a passer

You make me chuckle! :lol:

Seriously dude, look at the videos you posted up! You should realise that he "is" a passer! Otherwise Palermo wouldn't have scored 2 of those goals against Roma! He orchistrated both those goals!

I think Sneijder would be a like for like replacement for Lamps with the assists, dead ball accuracy and goals a season, but I'd prefer a new approach Red Rom wants "Sexy Football" and I'd be interested too see it with a player like Pastore orchestrating from the middle of the pitch... along as we don't end up like those on the other side of town trying to walk the ball into the net

Who is the guy who does the transfer latest on SSN? With his touch screen thing? Well anyway, he's just said Sky sources have told him, this deal is not as much of a goer as Palermo make out.

Since Robben we haven't had any dribblers, if anything we need is someone who can do that.

His passing is not as bad as you want it to make.

He costed Palermo €19m.

About 3 hours too late with that mate.

I think he's exactly what we need a young attacking play maker, sure those videos show him making a few mistakes but he's always going forward and looking to create like was mentioned earlier, that's just what we need.

[Joker10 946]

Would be the most exciting signing in a while for me.

Don't really know why we are after Modric, since we have a similar player in Josh.

[BLionheart 516]

Hope i will be proved wrong because the deal is looking more and more likely .
