Pepe

[Chezzy blue]

I think he'll be the last piece in the jigsaw, and would expect him signed for the
Audi cup tournament.

We need Pepe, 1 bad injury to Kompany or Nasty away from a crisis

Am I literally the only way that believes that he actually played well last season and that dropping him now would set his development back considerably? We have a potential world-class defender on the level with Kompany, Thiago Silva, and Gerard... And we want to use him as a sub to a 30 year-old that makes John Terry seem well-adjusted?

No your not. Nastastic was our best defender last season (better than Zab - but Zab can attack as well hence POTY). Anything that sidelines Nastasic's chances is a very bad move indeed.

I wouldn't pay more than £8m for Pepe either. Yes we may need a left sided DM to play 4-3-3 but we don't need a 2nd LCH if Lescott is staying.

Just don't see the point in paying £22m for a 30 year old ..... we have had the premierships best 'goals against' record for the past couple of seasons now , so something MUST be working ........ i'd rather keep Kompany and Nastasic in , and use Lescott as back up , if he wants to stay!


Here's Pepe trying to catch Aguero ...

Manuel Pellegrini still splashing cash with £22m Pepe bid lined up

The Portugal defender (below) is available at £30m but City will not pay that for the defender, 30.

The Premier League’s biggest spenders in this transfer window are prepared to pay £22m.

New boss Manuel Pellegrini wants more Champions League know-how in his squad after City’s failure in the competition in the last two seasons.

If the deal goes through Real could use the cash to make a bid for Liverpool’s Luis Suarez.

It would help them get nearer to Liverpool’s valuation of £40m – though they have indicated they are not prepared to pay more than £25m.

City have already signed midfielder Fernandinho for £30m, winger Jesus Navas (£15.8m) and strikers Alvaro Negredo (£20.6m) and Stevan Jovetic (£25.8m).

The Jovetic signing from Fiorentina was completed on Friday night.

If Pepe arrives too, City could still offer another central defender – England’s Joleon Lescott – a one-year contract extension.

Lescott, 30, has only a year left on his current deal but Pellegrini wants a strong squad for a double assault on the Premier League and the Champions League.

And the City chief, who knows he will be expected to deliver silverware after succeeding Roberto Mancini, also wants to challenge in the FA and Capital One cups.

Meanwhile, Pablo Zabaleta has linked up again with his City team-mates in their training camp – and wishes he hadn’t!

City’s Argentine ­defender, along with countryman Sergio Aguero, has been on international duty and both had their eyes opened when they jetted into South Africa.

Pellegrini had ordered TRIPLE training sessions to turn their Durban HQ into a boot camp.

He has flown back to Chile for family reasons but left instructions for assistant Brian Kidd to keep cracking the whip in his absence to leave Zabaleta stunned.

He said: “Sergio and I had an extra week because we played with the national team. Now we are catching up with some hard work.”

Strange unless i have read it wrong,they want £30mill,we are offering £22mill,they will then use that money to bid no more than £25mill for suarez,were do these papers get this crap from for a start pepe is 30 a realistic price would be £8-10 mill..funny thing is if it was us the player would be going to them for £1mill tops,and suarez we would be bidding £60mill even though they would take £50mill..the star who actually buys this crap,then the end dig about zabaleta and sergio being horrified about training schedules,suppose when there's no news just make it up...

Navas 14.9m, Jovetic 22.1m and Negredo 16.8m .....just needed to correct the Star reporter there ....
