Clockwork 1,794 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I have always believed that Pedro Rodriguez is a player a bit overrated. He is a good player, no doubt, but I do not think he has the level to play with Barcelona or Chelsea.Many players from Spain and Barcelona (especially players from La Masia) seem best players around Xavi, Iniesta, Messi ... but they are normal players.I think that having Willian with us the signing of Pedro would be unnecessary. I think he would not improve what we have in our starting eleven.Perhaps to complete our squad he would be a good signing, but never as first choice for our starting eleven. I prefer to bet on Willian.Regards.Players should start based on merit. Not because you like a player and dislike a player.No player place should be guaranteed, there is not a Chelsea i like that much to put him ahead of Chelsea best interest.

Hi friend!Frankly, I do not understand why you say this to me. I do not think I said anything as for you tell me that. I prefer to bet on Willian only by their professional merits, pure meritocracy, not because William is good person or fun (although he may be both) but Willian has shown since he joined to us a great professionalism and a complete performance in every game. I think he deserves our trust. But I say this based on what pragmatic, on the facts demonstrated by him with us. Obviously I do not choose players according to their sympathy, I choose them for their athletic performance.Maybe I explained wrong in my previous message, but I defended Willian for their performance. If Willian Low its performance Jose immediately send him to the bench. But I'm pretty proud of his performance with us until now.I prefer not to sign Pedro Rodriguez and continue betting on Willian. If we would like to sign Bale, Griezmann or Reus Maybe I would change my speech, but Pedro Rodriguez is no better than Willian.Regards.

He had 6 good months and that's it imo. Sure he always gives everything for the team but that's not enough to always keep him in the team. If he can keep performing like his last 6 months then I don't mind seeing him start a lot of games but atm it's Pedro > Willian for me.

Pizy 18,905 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 He's a good player of course, but I struggle to see where he starts in our team. He's not a significant enough upgrade to bench Oscar or Willian is he? He's not someone who will take us to a new level.As a last resort if we can't get anyone better I'd welcome him. Still holding out hope for a game changer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By your explantation.Willian will be here next season no matter what and he will be a starter at the beginning of the season. Willian will be given continues trust so that is not in question. We are talking about Mou, he is very loyal to his players. So Willian will be trusted, clearly uncharacteristic if he was benched by Mou without any reason.Remember Mou brought Luis..........And i am still waiting for him to replace Azpi, and Azpi moved back to the RB. Still hasn't happened and now he seems on his way out. Under 99% of managers i have no doubt Luis would have been a starter.If Pedro displaces Willian that is quite an accomplishment.You have a preference for Willian that is fine, Pedro brings something different to the table though. They are different players.Pedro would be a welcomed addition, paying 12-15 pounds is an investment i would make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather start Cuadrado each game and hope he improves than buy another stop gap option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather start Cuadrado each game and hope he improves than buy another stop gap option.I didn't last season but I did the seasons before, I really doubt he became really bad in a single season. He might be a bit overrated but for me he's still better than Willian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When are we really going to upgrade that side instead of stitching it endlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ofcourse I'd rather see us getting a huge upgrade but who would that be? I can only think of Reus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they could get one of those players I really doubt our board wouldn't be trying as hard as possible to get one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 do people really expect this to happen in the summer. i dont give it a chance. barca literally have no other option except for MSN for the front 3 positions. they will not sell pedro until they get turan and vidal in jan.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 In my opinion he would be decent option. He is mould of Schurrle (finishing, positioning) and Salah (good skill and speed), I guess he would add bit some firepower in the team. Great for rotation, depending what we need etc.But current Pedro is somewhere on par with Willian, so he wouldnt realy improve us.To add someone like Pedro for 15m to our team would be nice, but I see him take Cuadrado's place, not Willian's.Anyway Barca needs him till january at least, not a chance he will move I think.

Unionjack 7,531 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I really cant see Barca shifting him this summer or it would leave them schtuk. If hes leaving it will be in the Jan sales.I know its not the thread but with everyone moaning about Sanchez and Ozil well I'd take them both quite happily!

illmatic 901 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 The complete report of the journal "Sport" says that Pedro is completely decided to leave Barcelona and join to us. Apparently, Mou called him trying to convince to sign for us. After of that, Pedro began to think the possibility and finally was Cesc who convinced him to come here. We will pay his clause of 30M for not have any problem with Barca. Pedro and Barca had "Verbal" pact about that He doesn't would leave Barca before January when the Fifa sanction will finish, BUT, if He was not receiving enough time to play, Barca don't would give problem to him for leave the club in July. Accord to this report, this transfer is sure. Pedro is decided to leave Barca and come here. Here the link to the complete report if anyone can read that http://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/pedro-resigna-dira-si-al-chelsea-4349486 The journal seems to sure about that, and If you don't know, this newspaper is almost the official Barca press. So guys, seems that here We have a new signing. Welcome Pedro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
