Question - could we have been wrong about Coentrao and Aquero?

Have we been had?? It's been at least 2 weeks with these rumours and yet still no activity. With today's announcement by Benfica, that's both current clubs saying they are not going to madrid!! Is this just a case of two players (or their agents) wanting to come to Madrid, but nothing concrete?

If this is true, we are set up front, still likely need a DM and still have the problem to replace Carvalho.

If they are negotiating with atletico, it's going to take some time.

For coentrao as well, we will see. there is still plenty of time before the beginning of preseason

G =/= Q

Most of the big deals usually drag on.

ah, we dont NEED them, i find coentrao to be interesting though.

saying we dont need them over and over wont make it so that they dont come.

I think Coentrao's deal is closed to be sealed, if not already.

im just waiting to validate my sources xp

Coentrao is 90% ready.
And Aguero is 50% ready, Atletico can keep him if they want, his contract ends in 2014 which means he is tied to them.

Personally I would be happy with both deals falling through. Unfortunately I don't think it will be the case

ya but i just felt like restating my opinion.

i still hope some sort of approach to essien is made

Coentrao will come you can bet your left arm on it. Aguero I still am not so sure, I believe Aguero wants to come but does Unclo Flo want him? dunno

Don't you mean bet his right foot?

Lame joke I know

these things always tend to drag on. lots of numbers to negotiate.

also they are both unnecessary signings so perez is probably meeting with mou to work out how unnecessary they are. because if they are not going to be 100% positive additions or they are not going to be marketable- i can see the deals falling through. especially kun

I think its pretty clear that Fabio is coming. After the disciplinary action they take on him, no way he is staying. Also, its pretty clear Mou is looking at a :

Coentrao-DiMaria partnership on the right

--and--

Marcelo-Ronaldo on the left

I really hope thats what Mou's thinking atleast. F barca from both sides.
I know its probably unrealistic to expect Coentrao to play on the right like that.

I want hamtaro to come look at the video

I think with the Maicon rumours, the FC deal has been muddied... If Benfica

decide to play hard ball, and that looks to be the cse, and Jose feels that Maicon may still have it, we may see an actual RB at RB...

Kun is an interesting transfer. It's clear that he wants out. He wants a big club

and he wants to stay in Spain. That means either Madrid or Barca. Barca have

recently been linked with him as they seem to be exploring the alternatives to Rossi

(tbh the Sanchez deal scares me...) so they are not out of it but the way the rumour

is building I think that Madrid are the front runner. However to count City, Chevski

et al out completely is foolish. I think that it's going to be a great tactical

battle to get him, it's gonna be great!

There is nothing with maicon imo, just italian medias selling papers, pure imagination based on last summer.

I wouldnt read much into benfica getting fired up in the medias, both clubs are in really really good terms. we arent the kind of club to harass players to sign them, Perez and Sanchez are gentlemen, and Benfica made a lot of money from the Di Maria deal, if anything, they are eager to sell him to us; i have called 20M+clauses rising up to around 30M.

Kun wants RM, not barca. Pathetico contacted barca to offer Kun, but they arent interested in paying the money for him.

Fair enough except for one point. Perez is not a "gentleman" he's a backstabbing, insecure coward!

why is that?

regarding the threads question, i know mou wants a great attacking fullback that can also defend.

it will benefit his improvement of out counter attacking system.

he him self said he likes coentrao cause he can play in different places.

imo its only a matter of time before it becomes offcial that hes a blanco.

Yes your signing Ibra to play on the wing and Evra to play RB for 100 million euros each

next up were buying abate for 1 bil

TMO you better with that cheap ass offer. You know this is Abate you're talking about. His value is measures in souls sir not your worldly currency you call "money".

Me?! Why not Turok, he's full of Benzematis that it should suffice the glorious creature who brought down Apocalypse and Galactus: The Abate...
