While discussing Pepe, City may make a polite enquiry about Madrid left back Fabio Coentrao, who could be sold by the Spaniards after barely playing for them in pre-season.

With Juventus still interested in Aleks Kolarov, and said to be preparing a £7million bid, it could represent smart business for the Blues if they could nick Portugal ace Coentrao and sell Kolarov – although they value the Serb at twice Juve’s proposed price.

Re: Pepe

Demichelis has asked Atletico to let him go according to Cadena SER. Pellegrini has offered a 2-year deal.

Interesting, it looks like maybe we are getting Demichelis then.
I said in the Demichelis thread that I would prefer Pepe for the CL, but he would demand a first team pace resulting in Nastasic's game time likely to be diminished compared to last season.
Demichelis does look more of a back up center half, he has worked under Pellegrini and will understand his game plan/ tactics inside out no doubt.

and he's only a year older than Tony Book when he was signed!

Agreed but a different era - the game is an awful lot faster now.

Re: Pepe

Re: Pepe

They've said Di Maria is staying. Coentrao is the only one officially on the market as he wants weekly starts.

Is 'they' Real?

I've been saying for weeks that we need 2 CB's, a new LB and a new LW to compliment Navas. Surrly if we jesttison Sinclair, Garcia, Kolorov, Lescott, Barry, Razak and Boyata we could afford to bring in Coentrao, Pepe and Willian/Di Maria and still balance the books.

If our new approach has shown us anything, in the fight against ffp, wages are an even more important factor than a realistic fee.

Boyata actually looked good against Bayern. I wouldn't be too quick to get rid of him.

If we sign Pele we still need Lescott.

Re: Pepe

Lescott will not play 4th choice here when he will get regular football at many other Prem clubs.

I think we can cover that 4th slot with our other options anyway.

Kolo is 32! He wanted more first team football and was on a big wage, was probably still bitter about the fine for the drug ban as well.

Yes because age is all that matters rather than ability.
