just a speculation but this is the guy who said pedro is coming some time before everyone else:

This guy is a reliable journalist ?.

Who may be the next bomb? Paul Pogba?

I hope that this bomb is a CM. We need a CM more than anything.

Hey was the Chelsea website and social media along with Pedro's just hacked? Definitely not happening! Just wait till we see the clearly photoshopped pictures of him in a Chelsea shirt!

I don't really follow him that closely but he doesn't seems like a troll either.

I'm hoping the bomb is either Stones or CM, if it's Pogba I might have a heart attack from excitement, all that's left is hope.

Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Pedro from Barcelona.

The Spaniard arrives as a highly coveted winger who can also play as a central striker. He is proven at the very highest level and already possesses an impressive medal haul.

The 28-year-old has accumulated three Champions Leagues and five La Liga titles, as well as being a world and European champion on the international stage.

He said: ‘I am very happy to be here. I am very excited to start my adventure at Chelsea and I am here to keep winning titles.

'Thanks to the club and the supporters for giving me the opportunity to put the blue shirt on.’

Born in Tenerife, the diminutive Pedro, whose full name is Pedro Eliezer Rodríguez Ledesma, signed for Barςa’s academy in 2004 and made his first-team debut in January 2008 after catching the eye for their B team.

By 2009/10, the two-footed, fast and direct winger had become an important part of the Barcelona team. He was the first player ever to score in the Spanish league, Copa del Rey, Champions League, both the European and Spanish Super Cups as well as the World Club Cup.

His brilliant performances at club level saw him secure a place in the Spain squad for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Pedro started both the semi-final and final, and was a key figure in their victory over the Netherlands.

A year later he scored the opening goal in the Champions League final at Wembley as Barςa beat Manchester United 3-1.

He was a substitute alongside then Chelsea players Fernando Torres and Juan Mata in Spain’s Euro 2012 victory over Italy. The winger was also part of the squad which travelled to Brazil for the 2014 World Cup.

Pedro came on as a late substitute in Barcelona’s most recent major success - May’s Champions League final win over Juventus in Berlin. He concluded his time at the Catalan club in the most memorable manner, scoring the winning goal in their 5-4 UEFA Super Cup triumph over Sevilla.

Wonder if we're gonna sit him out completely for the West Brom game so we have another week to get rid of Cuadrado and Pedro can take the #11.

[!Hazard! 3,394]

Like Willian and Schurrle in one player. Exactly what our attack needs! If only the club had done the transfer earlier....

Just get the CM (not sure if Pogba would be the ideal player) and we are done. Get Stones and we are done for next five years with our squad + academy + few classy players we have loaned out.

Thank you Cesc ... and Valdes

[HRiver 1,512]

Good piece of business.

[Jase 43,479]

Hijack mission accomplished!

Glad the deal didn't take too long to complete.

[The Mak 4,459]

Welcome Pedro!

We finally have a attacking midfielder besides from Hazard who has the capability to get a considerable amount of goals. Just what we needed, great stuff!

I knew we could do it! Now please take care of my second wish and ship Cuadrado out!

(@Jason, it's also poetic justice that you're creating this thread considering your 'it's all tabloid BS guaranteed' comments! )

I do not know, but with Pedro and William we have the right-winger position perfectly well covered and maybe we should look for Premier League teams for Kenedy and Traore because they can not spend a year on the bench ... Maybe it's better to look for a loan in England for them to play regularly and continue their professional development.

At least one of them should be on loan.

Regards.

He could take another number and wait until Juan leaves then take 11.

Although given the musical numbers game of last summer wouldn't surprise me if he convinces Baba to give 17 up.
