His father said that the switch is almost imminent

The situation is this: the player is all 'ok' and only needs the agreement between Wolfsburg and Atletico

Atletico Madrid are shaping up nicely with Falcao and Diego

Let us hope for a fairer world where Atletico madrid beat Real Madrid.

I actually think he will be good at Atletico.

He is a really good AM. Ozil was his understudy at Bremen Some of his linkups/goals are outrageous

Juve were too impatient with him imo.

I dislike them more than i dislike Real Madrid!

Some teams are called Pathetico for a reason, good luck beating R.M. lol

if true then this idiot better screw his head on, hes not going to get many more chances at top clubs

Diego was all but average at Juventus to be honest..

Prior to his arrival we were predominantly a 4-4-2 team but we had to change the whole system for him and he was undoubtedly became our team's main creative source..

But he failed to live up to the hype and he couldnt take the responsibility on his shoulders and he was nothing but a ball-hog in my opinion..All he would is dribble with the ball but fail to make that decisive pass..

And playing alongside rubbish strikers like Amauri who has zero skills on the ball and someone who couldnt read his passes as well as making precise runs dint help him one bit either..

He is talented no doubt but kind of flatters to decieve..I wish him all the best at Atletico anyways..With a lethal and skillful striker like Falcao he might just shine there..

if they accept him as the main guy in midfield he can be great. if he feels that he's just one of many then he'll try and do stupid shit to proclaim his spot. potentially great signing but i have my doubts.

Atletico have just signed Pacheco on loan from us.He was going to to Rayo Vallecano initially but Atletico have swooped for him in the last minute.This could well mean Diego deal is off.

Isn't pacheco a winger?

and Atletico would not cancel the Diego deal for Pacheco that would be stupid.

They signed him on loan, and then loaned him to Rayo, lol

Diego is Manzano's most wanted, deal is still alive and kicking

Seriously why would u sign a player on loan for a year to then loan to some one else.Does that make any sense? Its just confirmed on our official website that we have loaned him out to Atletico for a year may 2012 to be precise.If we want to loan him to Rayo i would have expect us to loan directly.Either Atletico are extraordinarily dumb or he is on loan to Atletico as confirmed by our official website

I didnt know much about diego deal i just took a educated guess considering they already have Reyes and Turan.

@Early prototype

He is an AM who also plays on the wing.

I can only assume that they have a buying option in the deal with pool?

It's reported in spain that manzano wants to play like this:

Courtois
Silvio-Dominguez-Godin-Filipe
Gabi-Suarez-Diego
Turan-Falcao-Reyes

"Liverpool have today finalised a deal to send Daniel Pacheco on a season-long loan to Atletico Madrid.

The 20-year-old will stay in La Liga until 30 June 2012."

I think we would have mentioned if we have included buying option.And why would we do that in the first place either.

Well then Atletico are just stupid.

Pacheco could be used a back-up or a substitute? It is not really unthinkable right?

is atletico gonna have another striker next to falcao? diego is better with two strikers in front of him

Diego does best in the hole, in either a 4231 or a 4312. A 4231 should be played at Atletico. With a frontline something like:


I think Diego couldbhave a greatpartnership wjth Falcao, like he did with Pizarro at Bremen (and wouldve had with Matri at Juve). Theyll be the next Aguero-Forlan.

And Diego did great at Juve. If you look at hjs sgats he was acgually betyer than Sneijder, at least in stats. And he tried to dribble so mucb because our forwards at thtimr were almost useless. When ADP wss on he wouldnt try to drubnle ss much, but whags hegonns do with Amauri and Iaquinta in front of him? What would you dk jf you were an AM and your strikers were useless? Try to do it all yourself. So thafs what Diego did. He played his best the firsg couple games because the teams didnt mnoe whag to expect from him so he was able to do it all himself, and when webswitched to a 4231, and he had Camo and Gio alongside him, so be had plenty of help, and what happenned when all 3 were healthy? We smashed 5 goals past an in-form Sampdoria. We shoudve guven Diego more of a chance.
