supporter 3,088 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 such stupid logic 'under the umbrella of Messi' so what you are saying is Pedro only played well because of Messi??? No friend, what I mean is that "around Messi" any player looks better.For example, Pique was one of the best centre-back in the world around Carles Puyol, but without Puyol his performance has dropped considerably. Just that.By the way, I think it's better not to talk saying "stupid" or putting images of clowns on the comments of other forum members. We are all Chelsea fans and we are in the same boat.Regards.

Toli 977 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I don't care how good or bad he is. The fact that he chose us over Utd has made my day.He didnt chose us over Utd. Utd didnt want to pay the price Barca demanded, we did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why didnt Affelay look better? why didnt Tello look better? why didnt Cuenca look better? why does Alexis Sanchez now look better without Messi??? why did Suarez look better at Liverpool? why does Fabregas look better at Chelsea without Messi???and as for Pique what are you talking about he was one of the best CB's on the planet last season!

LAM09 7,051 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Pedro is still quality if you watch football then you would know.He is decent, but I doubt he'll get anywhere near the level we was once at. That Pedro was quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAM09 7,051 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 He is still better than Willian and Cuadrado.That goes without saying. I hope the latter is on a plane back to Italy as we speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidEU 2,023 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Hi friend!Agree with you.Pedro is "player number 12" good for any team. He is not important in principle, but it is important throughout the season.Regards.Balague said something pretty similar yesterday and if that does prove to be the case, then still I think we can be pretty happy. I think one of the major problems that we've had over the last twelve months or so is Jose doesn't have much trust outside the first eleven, and in that attacking four just think how many players have come and gone in Joses two years? Lukaku, Torres, Ba, Mata, de Bruyne all sold, Schurrle, Salah, Drogba, Eto'o signed by Mourinho and let go, plus the likes of Moses, Atsu, Traore etc on loan deals. It's a crazy turn around of players. That's 12, not including those in the core squad right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Sicarius 610 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I think he can be like Sanchez but not in all. If he scores some goals it will be legit for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iggy Doonican 4,186 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Mourinho allegedly said '' You can tell if a youngster can make it by watching him for 20 minutes''. Which begs the question how long did he watch Cuadrado for if at all. What did he see in Cuadrado in January that made him sign that useless tit instead of Pedro?. Pedro was ineligible for the Champions League but did Cuadrado get any minutes at all can't remember off hand. Now in August we buy Pedro questions have to be asked about our transfer policy. Anyway welcome Pedro hope you do the business my son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unionjack 7,531 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 If Pedro coming creates any sort of a hunger or passion with our lads to be a starter then it can only be good. Right now I dont see any passion or enthusiasm.I'm afraid unless it was written in Romans blood that I was going to be a 1st team starter if I was to join Chelsea I would think long and hard with the record we have for MFs. I love us dearly but we get thru more midfielders than Tescos get thru carrier bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOneChan95 225 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I'm happy that it looks like it's going to happen. However I don't think he is our "saviour" . If you are expecting a Sanchez level of impact you might be disappointed. I personally think he will be the more polished version of Shirley which I believe will be good enough.

supporter 3,088 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 any player looks better around Messi??? So why didnt Affelay look better? why didnt Tello look better? why didnt Cuenca look better? why does Alexis Sanchez now look better without Messi??? why did Suarez look better at Liverpool? why does Fabregas look better at Chelsea without Messi???and as for Pique what are you talking about he was one of the best CB's on the planet last season!I think you put very different examples:1. Alexis Sanchez did well in Barcelona because he is a great player, a top player, who joined Barcelona for 45 million euros. Alexis Sanchez is one of the best players in the world. And he was good at Barcelona and with Arsenal.2. But Cuenca, Affelay or Tello were not great players and they did not seem great players with or without Mesis. In fact, they just did not have chances to play in Barcelona. Even Affelay had a major injury. They can not be put into the same comment with Alexis Sanchez.3. All players, including Messi, with Barcelona looks better than their previous teams or national teams. And the main culprits of that is Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and his style of play. Barcelona has won 4 Champions Leagues in the last nine years.4. Yes, around Messi Any player looks better. Like Maradona when he won the World Cup in Mexico 86 with players like Valdano ....5. Pique and Puyol was one of the best pairs of centre-backs in history. But Pique has had a horrible performance without Puyol, except for the last five months of last season. In fact, the Pique himself said last year (at the beginning of last season) that he was no longer one of the best centre-backs in the world. In the three official matches of this season (in the European Super Cup and the Spanish Super Cup) Pique has had a horrible performance. He is a rather childish player.And I think it is quite logical to be better player under "the umbrella of Leo Messi".Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
