Javier Pastore joins PSG

[Guest justin_3d]

Pastore and Josh in the coming seasons will be something amazing!

[Kieran. 6,317]

I'm excited by this, I just hope it's for somewhat of a fair price.

[Up the Blues! 1]

I want him!! Could take franks place in the team I reckon! Couple years.... Romeu. Pastore and Josh. Now that's a midfield!

After all is said and done, Pastore is still grossly overrated. for that price tag, you would expect a player that dominates games.

so far I'm yet to see any wow factor about him. from a critical point of view- Is he even technically superior to our own josh and Kakuta, what qualities does he have that our duo youngsters lack?

We'll exchange opinions, then go to France and England for negotiations. The interested clubs are Paris Saint Germain, Chelsea and also something in Spain, but that depends on who Real Madrid manage to sell.

The newspapers make it look as if everyone is in the running, but I hope he won't stay in Serie A. That way he won't have to face us as an opponent.

The club that comes to us with a serious offer will take him.

So now PSG & Real are back in it

Real Madrid really need Pastore...

I dont think anyone here thinks Pastore worth 50m Euros. The last reports talked about 30-35, I dont mind we'll pay this money for him.

Tactic to scare and Chelsea to raise the price, no more.

He thinks we are stupid enough to believe Real would want him after the absurdly abundant amount of mid fielders they have.

And PSG is laughable.

Just tactic to try to raise the price so Chelsea can pay more.

Well, I am not too excited about him to be honest. From the highlight of his game I have seen so far, he didn't strike me. The only time I've appreciated him was when I saw him at Copa, against Uruguay. To be frank, it is with his passing game I have problems... But of course, he seems to have talent, so I presume his passing game is just raw.

Plus, I think we could give some chances to Kakuta instead of buying Pastore. Of course, I won't complain if we get him, that would still be a good addition to the squad.

Finally, if we get him, I still hope we can get a player of the like of Modric, who has a very good passing game and who builds the play from a deep position.

Indeed.

We missed a trick in not signing Nuri Sahin when he was available..

Had no Manager, so was hard.

Now with AVB, we can buy.

I'm of the same opinion. He seems to be way too inconsistent to warrant the rumored price tag. Never seen another 30-50M rated player whos make as many simple pass misses as him.

He prefered Madrid to Chelsea.

If you're expecting Pastore to be our midfield orchestrator you'll end up disappointed. He's a goal scoring midfielder in the mould of the Lampard of 2-3 years ago but with more athleticism and technical ability. He's not a Modric or a Pirlo or a Xavi for instance, players who'd sit in the engine room, take the game by the scruff of the neck and dictate the pace at which the game is played.He drifts in and out of games a bit I'd say. No denying he's got a lot of potential but 30 million? Nah.
