Pedro

[We'reNotReallyHere]

Personally I think Pedro is the better player.

He is just going off the press speculation and taking a punt, if it comes off he comes over as all itk but if not then nobody notices

As others stated, it doesn't really go with the scheme of things :/

Would surely mean nasri and Navas out

Personally I think Pedro is the better player.

Possibly but I would say it is fairly marginal. Pedro 18 months younger I suppose but Navas seems fairly settled, knows the way we play etc. For me this would just be introducing a new player for the sake of it, doesn't seem worth it financially or in footballing terms. We'd be better going balls out for De Bruyne IMO or even settling for what we already have.

The only way I could see this happening is that Pedro is told he will play regularly. Which, if we get DeBruyne, means both of those going. The only other scenario for me is if Wolfsburg are demanding really stupid money for DeBruyne & we sack it off. But if that ws the case I think we'd know already.

I think we're just being set up for a 'snubbing'.

I agree, don't see the logic of this deal. De Bruyne would be perfect, our attacking options sorted.

Yeah. ' Of course I have friends at City & they are a great club, but once I heard Manchester Utd were in for me, there was only one place I was ever going to go'.

I just can't see Pedro coming to City. I believe he's a better footballer than Navas, however he's very similar in terms of style of play, and position. I don't believe we can carry both in our squad so that means a Pedro arrival must surely indicate a Navas departure. There's been no rumour of that really. I think Pedro's a good footballer, and his release clause isn't actually all that steep price wise, but he doesn't really fit into our squad given the parts already in place. I'd be very, very surprised if there was anything in this at all.

Assuming we get De Bruyne, whose place in the team does he take?

He can play up front. Do we need more than two strikers? I think so.
