Re: Pepe
They can't afford him it's not the same club in money terms as it was look at the Bale situation Spain is in deep troubleAndouble said:Real will inevitably come back for Sergio next summer, Pepe would help us but I'm hesitant to do business with them.
Re: Pepe
Absolutely. Going to be nearly impossible to do I'd guess, but it would increase our chances of winning the league dramatically, not to mention our chances in the CL.

Pull this off, Cheeky, and that's us sorted.

Re: Pepe
Pepe's a must, not Demichelis though, plus, once Nastasic is fit, he can slot into the back four whilst Pepe could go into that holding role in midfield.

Re: Pepe
Demichelis is impossible, because he signed for Atletico Madrid in this summer.
So, Txiki only sign for Pepe and...maybe Coentrao ?

Re: Pepe
Those two additions, Pepe and Coentrao, would make our t-window 100% perfect. And if we could get such a high fee for Kolarov as reported, it would be a miraculous window.

from another esteemed forum
"Watch out City are coming! The Sporting Director of City, Txiki Begiristain, will travel this very day to the Spanish capital to try to sign Pepe. Manuel Pellegrini is seeking a central defender and likes the Madrid player very much.
The former Malaga manager knows the Portuguese player to perfection as he managed him at Madrid and knows that he is a very complete footballer, capable of acting as the defensive axis or in midfield. With the emergence of Varane, it seems that the portuguese has been relegated to the second level and because of this Pellegrini is openeing the door for him to play in the first team of one of the biggest teams on the continent.
According to Cadena Cope the British club would offer 23 million euros to gain Pepe's services, money which Perez would invest in the signature of Gareth Bale.
Be that as it may, Ancelotti has already decalred on several accasions that pepe is very important to the first team, in which case it would seem to be very complicated for him to leave this summer. We will know in the next few days whether he will end up going to Manchester or, on the other hand, decides to stay at the Santiago Bernabeu.
¡Ojo que viene el City! El director deportivo de la entidad citizen, Txiki Begiristain, viajará hoy mismo a la capital española para tratar de llevarse a Pepe. Manuel Pellegrini está buscando un central y el madridista gusta, y mucho al técnico chileno.
El ex del Málaga conoce a la perfección al portugués puesto que lo tuvo a sus órdenes en el Real Madrid y sabe que es un futbolista muy completo, capaz de actuar tanto en el eje de la zaga como de ancla en el mediocentro. Con la irrupción de Varane, parece que el luso ha quedado relegado a un segundo plano, y, por ello, Pellegrini le abre las puertas de la titularidad en uno de los mejores equipos del viejo continente.
Según anunció la 'Cadena COPE', el club británico podría ofrecer unos 23 millones de euros por hacerse con los servicios del crack, capital que Florentino invertiría en el fichaje de Gareth Bale.
Sea como fuere, Ancelotti ya ha declarado en varias ocasiones que Pepe es un hombre muy importante en la primera primera plantilla, por lo que se antoja muy complicado que pueda salir este verano.

I`d bring him in. simply for his missus.NoahCity said:And yet Pellegrini somehow got far in CL with him at the heart of defense.MiamiBlue said:Please not Demichelis!! He's a disaster waiting to happen.
Re: Pepe
Pepe would be a good signing but I don't understand all the love for Coentrao, he has just as many defensive misgivings as Kolarov. The only reason I can think of as to why people prefer him is that he's fast, but we already have a fast left back who's a better defender than Coentrao.
At the moment we have two options at left back, a solid defender who's comfortable on the ball but not great in the final third and a wing back who lacks Clichy's defensive qualities but is much better going forward, crossing and shooting. If you swap Kolarov for Coentrao you have Clichy and a poor man's Clichy. All in my opinion of course.

Coentrao is a world class wing back, he would be an immense signing for us.

Re: Pepe
I have to disagree with absolutely everything you said to be honest. Coentrao is infinetly better defensively than Kolarov and is a far better technical player going forward than him aswell. As for him being a poor mans Clichy, I have no idea what you even mean by that, as he is absolutely nothing like Clichy.kenzie115 said:Pepe would be a good signing but I don't understand all the love for Coentrao, he has just as many defensive misgivings as Kolarov.

Re: Pepe
Coentrao is second choice to Marcelo for a reason. While I don't agree he has the defensive frailties of Kolarov he isn't an upgrade on Clichy in my opinion.

He is second choice to Marcelo because Marcelo is the best LB on the planet IMO.

Re: Pepe
Criminal to put Baines in the same category as those other 3. Baines is a very average defender that is very good going forward and seems to be flavour of the month right now because Everton essentially based their entire game around him and Fellaini last season
