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.

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.

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.
