That proven in the PL thing is so overrated. What is that worth? Pedro is proven. Plain and simple. He has scored in a CL final as well as played in the biggest games possible. Balotelli is "proven" in the PL. Would you take him? Torres was "proven" in the PL. Countless other players as well, the system a player plays in and the players he is surrounded by make him play well. NOT, a league. La Liga is considered by many as the best league in the world. About workrate, while no winger has the workrate Willian does, Pedro is no slouch in that department. I think it's a good signing, he is a comparison between the two. Not bad.
