Javier Pastore joins PSG

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Is he seriously worth that? I've never even heard of this guy..

[Endrit 39]

43 million is way to much for him and if the bid is in fact real then its probably City who made it

[Peace. 4,352]

For that amount, it should be either City, Real or us.

I would like us to sign him, but for that money it's just crazy.

[crazy1 24]

he is worth around 25 to 30 ml not a single penny more than that.................we should prefer hamsik over him anyday.............

[chrismada9 1,948]

£43 million for Pastore is just fucking insane!

Citeh have probably made that bid

[St Abramovich 175]

43 million for Pastore doesn't sound that bad when you think, he's exactly what we need and Carrol cost 35.

[termninja 5,290]

£43 too fucking much...I'd give 35 max...strangely he was around 45mil in FM when I tried to sign him so I gave up. Damn Palermo...

[LDN Blue 7,903]

and Carrol cost 35.

That's hardly justification.

Liverpool paid that sum out of desperation. They had to replace Torres and had a £50million kitty to do it, Mike Ashley orchestrated it fantastically. We're in a much better position and we don't need to pay such amounts for such an unproven player.

Is he seriously worth that? I've never even heard of this guy..

He is worth what the clubs want to offer for him so yes, it's not like Torres being amazingly overpriced held us back in the last transfer window. That you never heard of the guy hardly makes him a worse footballer, he has become a regular on the argentinian national team and is one of the top players in serie a so you must just not be following football outside England a lot I guess, he is only 21 year old and is a future star and will imo be a bigger profile on our team than any of our current midfielders, he got a technique is that at times out of this world and really just is the full package for a attacking midfielder and still got lots of time to develop even more.

This is easily the midfielder I would like to have in Chelsea the most who we can realistically get (so no not Messi). Hamsik is good but not close to Pastore's level imo.

But that is not to say that this news is correct, Zamparini is a crazy compulsive liar and a huge cunt. He also claimed Kjær was getting sold at one point for way way more than he ended up getting sold for to a English club.

Pastore 'staying' at Palermo

Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini says in-demand playmaker Javier Pastore has decided to stay at the club next season.

Pastore is coveted by many of Europe's leading clubs, and reports recently claimed thatManchester United were spearheading the chase for the Argentina international.

Zamparini also revealed that he was considering a €50million (£43m) offer for Pastore from an unnamed club, which he has subsequently turned down.

Barcelona,Chelsea and Manchester Cityare other teams to have been linked with bids for Pastore, but Zamparini does not expect to lose the player in the summer.

Intelligent

"Pastore wants to remain at Palermo," Zamparini said to Gazzetta dello Sport. "He is a very intelligent man, who wants to improve.

"He has decided to remain with us for another year."

Pastore has also attracted the attentions of Serie A clubs Napoli and Roma, who are both keen to sign the 21-year-old, who joined Palermo in 2009 from Huracan.

"I have already turned down a 50million euro offer for Pastore," Zamparini said. "Even if Chelsea were to make an offer this year, he would not move.

"Barcelona already made an offer and I said to them that this year he would not leave."

Pastore is Palermo's top scorer with 10 league goals in 30 appearances so far this season and is under contract with the Serie A club until June 2014.

After Sanchez and Van der Wiel i put him third on my list.

Chelsea is desperately in need of some creativity, and when i see this guy play, it reminds me a lot of David Silva. Their touch are somewhat a like.

I think if Carlo stay, Pastore looks like a guy into Carlo liking and style. But his price is something of concern....

[Madmax 9,219]

Zamparini has now confirmed that he could cash in on Pastore, having previously valued the player at €60 million.

"Pastore is the only player who could leave," he told Radio Radio. "It all depends on the boy. He earns less than €1 million and if a big club offered him €4 million then it would be hard to keep him. Palermo can't afford that and we have to balance the books."

Zamparini has claimed AC Milan, Inter, Juventus, Manchester City, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barcelona all want Pastore, and that one of the Italian clubs have already made a direct enquiry. Manchester United and Liverpool have also been linked with the player.

Zamparini is Palermo owner btw.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Zamparini is Palermo owner btw.

I love Zamparini. He's such a comic, I think he's put in a €100million buy-out clause in Pastore's contract and genuinely believed that was his worth

[termninja 5,290]

Roman buy Pastore, he's a bargain!

[eldo 868]

67k per week. OK.

He's quality, but needs to work more.
