Haven't really watched Barca lately but I'd take the Pedro of a couple years back without thinking twice.

Even if his form has been bad recently, it's understandable because he hasn't been playing regularly enough. Just think Cesc at Barca and then at Chelsea, huge difference.

According to SPORT or "Don Balon" the signing of Pedro Rodriguez to join us is totally done. They say that Jose has personally called Pedro Rodriguez to convince him and in the next hours / days will become official (although the signing could be announced after the election for president of Barcelona, next week).

The clause of Pedro Rodriguez were 150 million euros, but after his last renewal of the contract, the clause is now 30 million euros (21.50 million pounds).

"SPORT" also says that Pedro has spoken with Fabregas to ask him about London and Chelsea, and that this conversation has finally convince him.

To me Pedro Rodriguez is not exactly what we need and I would like that we finally did not sign him. Good player, but I prefer another kind of player.

But if we will finally signed him, Pedro Rodriguez is a good player to complete our squad ... but not our starting eleven.

Regards.

Good player. £21M is a good price too.

But he is not the solution to our AM issues. This will only really make sense if we're selling Cuadrado and he's our replacement for the bench with Moses and one of the youngsters (Boga?) and we're still in the market for that world class AM (Reus/Griezmann/Isco etc.).

Very interesting choice if true. I think he could surprise many here. He's technically obviously excellent, he has a lot of winning experience, he can play tactical roles when needed and he's joining us for his prime years. I think the rumored buyout clause is fair. Certainly beats paying 50m for Sterling.

Exactly. Fabregas was insulted and ridiculed and he's our second best player now because he's starting every match and playing a consistent position, instead of being thrown in anywhere in the line-up like pedro is.

Anyone who isn't starting consecutive matches will never play to his potential. He is 27 and that is meant to be the peak of every footballer but he's never started enough consecutive games to show it.

Pedro was the one who put Henry to the bench, he's the one who held his place in the best team of our generation ahead of ibrahimovic and Sanchez. And because he isn't a big price tag like Neymar he can't start and suddenly he's treated like he had torres/Falcao type injury that will prevent him from being the same.

I think we underestimate the impact laliga players have in the Premier League. They mostly shine here especially if they are Spanish.

Work-rate + goals + decent dribbling + good movement.

He's not a star player, but he offers everything a winger at a top club should have. Chelsea will be stronger having a player like him in the squad.

But i don't trust any rumor till good ol' Rob Beasley tweets about it.
