Pedro Rodríguez

[kellzfresh 7,229]

We are now on limited time to start to act and fetch in players that are needed. We have a threat from the left in Hazard and literally zero from the right, that's why we need to scupper this deal for Pedro to United and get him whatever it takes. We need to start to stretch teams both from the wings and the fullback positions in this team, and get away from this predictable way of playing.

Come 1st September I want to see this...

Tibo

Azpilicueta Stones Terry Baba

Matic Cesc

Pedro Oscar/Willian Hazard

Costa

Exactly

I dont know why we have been making our football so complicated. Every team that plays attacking football stretch teams out on the wings and put balls into the box with crosses to create chances. But we try to be Barcelona and try to pass through the eye of the needle by playing through the middle. That's why we played so sluggish against PSG and now mancity because the middle is obviously congested compared to space on the wings.

We need another winger on the right and baba at leftback to completely change the way we've been playing to stop this our narrow approach. Get wide, cross the ball, cut inside and shoot from outside the box like depay (against club brugge) and stop overcomplicating football with slow passing.

I don't know Spanish but I'm sure marca are reporting pedro to Chelsea. Maybe someone can link it and translate as I'm on a phone and don't know how

[kellzfresh 7,229]

LOL for two reasons:

1) This won't happen, he's going to United.

2) A month ago, he was average according to most of you. Now this is equivalent to the Second Coming and we're about to sign Jesus himself.

Lol for no 2

Everyone has now seen how an unmotivated squad performs when they have no pressure to win the league twice in a row.

History says it isn't easy to defend the league but many took it for granted

According to MARCA (a few minutes ago) Chelsea has signed Pedro for 28 million euros (20 million pounds) + 2 million in variables (1.41 million pounds).

Pedro is in London today (with the permission of FC Barcelona) to close the deal, but first he has to do the medical examination.

The signing will be announced in the next few hours.

Regards.

Marca on Pedro

[termninja 5,290]

Besides Reus and Griezman I think this is the next best thing so I'm hoping we get the deal done. It's actually a good deal for Kenedy and Traore also because Pedro is 28 so it's not like their career is over. Hopefully it happens, Cuadrado is just not gonna cut it it seems...

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Won't happen. All bullshit.

When Sky or the BBC start saying it's official, I'll believe it. Until then, I'm still envisaging Juan Cuadrado getting his arse kicked by Gareth fucking McAuley.

[nadavTKL 1,787]

Well im not thrilled about Pedro, but i cant reject the idea he'll improve our RW spot and make us more dangerous. And most of all, create some kind of depth in our midfield.

Would be happy if we also throw 30m euros to Zenit until September and get Witsel. From zero good alternatives in midfield we could have like 2 or 3 different approaches.

Barcelona winger Pedro (28) travelled this morning to London to close the deal on his transfer to English club Chelsea. [rac1]

[supporter 3,088]

Traore and Kenedy must go on loan to another Premier League team or they will burn their future on the bench.

[Chelsea4 1,521]

I hope this is true.

His best season is 2010/11 and after that he is mediocre.

Because Neymar came if Barcelona didnt buy Neymar he would still be one of the best wingers.

[supporter 3,088]

MUNDO DEPORTIVO and SPORT (main sports newspapers in Catalonia) also confirmed the signing.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

I really want Reus but we can't all have the eiffel tower in our homes

[Thendo 1,088]

RAC1 reporting it aswell, arent they a more reliable news outlet or am I completely wrong?
