Dropped to the bench, I'd assume. Somehow doubt they'll get Fabregas this year though.
I don't think a player of pedro's quality will get dropped.
of course an exaggeration
I don't think a player of pedro's quality will get dropped.
I think Barca would, if only to fit in Fabregas. It'd be a straight shootout between Pedro and Sanchez for a spot. Maybe when Villa ages and leaves it would be easier.
Someone egg me on my 24th prediction on Sneijder, I think I was high or something trying to predict that. Aguero's flew to Manchester today as expected, AM didn't expect him at their pre season camp anyway. Pastore to CFC is basically his only destination besides Malaga/Anzhi, Roma have blew their budget, Inter need to sell to buy big and AC are basically skint. Will chase up Pauleys RI Moratti quote, if it's true every outlet in Italy would be running with it. Will check it out...
Will Pedro have the patient to wait that long though?
Villa has about 3 years left in him.
Pedro will be 26.
3 years on the subs bench
SOUNDS FUN
valdes
pique-puyol-abidal
busquets
fabregas-xavi-iniesta
pedro-messi-sanchez
more competition for positions and a stronger bench with alves and villa potentially getting right and left striker positions ahead of pedro and sanchez
Read my posts a couple of days ago Madridista. Hate repeating myself, and I'm on my mobile not my computer and I never really do links anyway. Read my post from a few days ago about the Aguero situation, will hopefully shed some light. MCFC aren't his 1st choice but RM have Neymar tied up so he's realised MCFC are the only option he has with UCL football. Aguero deal means Lavezzi deal is off which has forced De Laurentiis to publicly apologise to Lavezzi for saying he would leave, hilarious stuff from Italian owners this summer. Dalla Valle is also saying he has offered LFC a swap of Montolivo for Aquilani... I like Monty but if LFC let Aquaman go they are frankly crazy.

I know this. He always said his wish is to stay in Spain. = Madrid or Barca
But if it's not possible he wants to play in england. And City have offered him this opportunity.
Well..if you know your stuff then ok. Thank you for the information.
His biggest priority was leaving Atletico. City may not be his first choice but he wants CL footy, so barring a hijack attempt from Chelsea, i think he will sign, but I wouldnt hang round too long if i was Mancini
Wel, he is City bound if he is already on his flight to manchester. Good signing.
I expect City to go "balls deep" on someone else after this. Mancini wants 2-3 more signings before we meet "them".
Going to manchester doesnt mean you have signed him... talks =/= new player
If the player himself does...it means, no?
I know his agent has been many days in manchester. And then flew to Argentina back to Aguero. Aguero flew to manchester --> medical and sign contract? Or am i missing something here?
agent was there to formalise the interest between the two clubs. he will also have personal talks. and after that if all goes well and he wants to sign there and then, he will have the medical and sign. he may agree a deal, but wait to see what other clubs might do. But i expect him to likely sign within the week, barring any hijack
Yeah...he already waited and no1 else made a move. He was expected (well, called but maybe not expected) to be in training with Atletico today..so there is no chance he will wait for any other clubs anymore. He can't...because he must finalise his move fast because he is still contracted to Atletico and skipped the first training. And i bet no1 would be stupid enough to try to hijack the move at this point.
So yeah...i see it myself as a done deal already. And the good thing is that Zabaleta is a good friend of his...and so is De Gea. (your goalkeeper) And both live in manchester.
So it will help him settle. I think it might be announced tomorrow already.
Actually there is every chance he might wait for other clubs, and it wouldnt be stupid to hijack a deal now for a world class forward. Atletico didnt expect him to be at training, they know full well he will not stay at the club, there is no rush n aguero's behalf
