Pedro Rodríguez

[Madmax 9,219]

Then I will laugh straight to the bank[emoji1][emoji2][emoji23]

Are you Bale's agent?

[Rekin 835]

Honestly, the fee mentioned should in now way be a deterrent of getting Pedro. The greater risk is that Pedro stands in the way of someone with a higher ceiling.
As it happens though, I do not really see who that would be. Traore might be one if RW is where he is meant to be, but we know very little of Mou's plans right now.

Overall though, to get a RW that is better than Pedro would be quite difficult. Even if you look at players with more than 20 games on that position you will not see any obvious transfer-targets.
Hell, believe it or now, but Willian actually got the 10th highest ranking of all the RW'ers (the list include players who are more of FWR's than AMR's as well). The others include players like Messi, Bale and Moura. Unless we are looking at someone like Bellarabi or Berardi, Pedro is a really, really solid option.

If we sell Moses and Salah, two players with arguably no future in CFC, they would not only fund Pedro but actually most likely bring in more with their fees.

Having said that, Pedro just seems like the opposite of a sexy transfer. I think it is the name, sounds like we are buying a Spanish golden retriever.

What about Gaitan from Benfica?

[cfcs most wanted 657]

My days, I have seen a Chelsea flop being compared to a player contributing to so many trophies in probably the best of club of the last 10 years. This is...beyond laughable. Proves nobody has ever seen Pedro play and are making judgemental opinions, because he is currently a sub in Barca.

Schurlle was a flop at Chelsea?? Ok, we know whose being judgemental

If he wasn't would have he been sold? Cuz I doubt his workrate was bad. I liked Schurrle, he didn't do good here.

Then do you think that Mata was a flop too then then because he was sold as well, Schurrle isn't a Mourinho type player , he played really well for Chelsea just see how much goals he added to the team

Nonsense.

I guess you would say the same about Valdez? Pique couldn't make it at united. He wasn't in the team when they beat united in the first CL win, and hardly played at all in the last.

But this doesn't make him a bad player ofcourse. I have reservations based on the fact he runs down rabbit holes with the ball when he should pass. Of he does that at a team where players are always available, what's he on a be like here when they're less so and the moments that they are are all the more important?

Don't get him. Wait for someone who actually improves the squad but a significant margin.

Are you Bale's agent?

Call me maybe

[LondonsFinest 692]

I never aimed anything at anybody. You have the right to keep your opinion about him, but don't compare him to a significantly inferior player.

And to the Torres fan boy, I specifically said " WORKRATE".

[Chelsea4 1,521]

Come on Arsenal! For Once in your lifetime be usefull, Arsene!

No,we need Pedro.

[Toli 977]

What about Gaitan from Benfica?

Gaitan is a good player, but he isnt nowhere near world-class nor much better than what we have at the moment. Would be quite expensive too as it seems. Would prefer Pedro over Gaitan any day.

[Unionjack 7,531]

Im not hating the lad as we know hes got or had good skills once. For whatever reasons hes not been setting the world on fire has he.

Ive been thinking which always worries me Mous transfer history with us has been a bit hit and miss. A handfull of amazing world class lads but alot that really didnt make any mark at all with us.

Let me play devils advocate for a minute. Im wondering if Pedro and Falcao are just projects for Mou. Is it a case of him wanting to be seen as being right in signing them after they kinda failed at present. Neither of them are the players we need. Ones that can walk into the 1st team and help shake the side up offering us creativity and some real dynamics.

I thought Chelsea was going to be Mous project but these two guys just make it look like his personal ones. I really hope at the end of the season I am proven full of shit it would make me happy.

Well lets be honest would any our current attacking midfielders/wingers get a game ahead of Messi, Neymar or Suarez? I don't even know if Eden would get in that front 3 to be fair.

And Mourinho's transfer record since coming back a hit and a miss? Half of the guys he signed have been nothing but good and useful for us, some we've not seen as much of. Financially his signings have been very good too. Some will not make it here but will make us money.

His first transfer window when he came back in the summer:

Schurrle - played regularly, sold for profit

van Ginkel - played a couple of games, got injured, loaned out twice, will be in squad or sold for profit likely

Schwartzer - reliable back up, played when needed, left on a free

Willian - playing regularly, improved into one of better players

Eto'o - played regularly, left for free

Josimar Quintero - youth signing, don't know what else has happened

Isaiah Brown - youth signing, loaned out, hopefully part of squad soon or sold for profit,

Cristian Cuevas - youth signing, loaned out, sell for profit?

Stipe Perica - loaned out. probably sell for profit

Christian Atsu - loaned out. probably sell for profit

Then in the winter:

Bertrand Traore - loaned out, will be part of our squad or sold for profit soon

Nemanja Matic - regular and vital part of our team

Mo Salah - kinda regular first half of season then struggled to get in team again, loaned out, will be sold for profit probably

Kurt Zouma - loaned out, came back played regularly over a certain amount of time

Mario Pasalic - loaned out, looks talented, if not sold probably be sold for profit

The next summer window:

Cesc Fabregas - regular and vital part of winning two cups

Diego Costa - regular and vital part of winning cups

Filipe Luis - didn't set the world on fire but still very reliable player

Drogba - don't know particularly why he was resigned as in terms of playing wise he was past it but

Remy - reliable back up, scored vital goals

Then January:

Cuadrado - only bad signing hes really had here imo still though early to say but not as big a fan. still fetch a decent fee for him though.

Now we've added Begovic, Falcao and possibly could get Pedro? I don't think hes particularly made a poor signing other than Cuadrado and maybe Salah although I'd say both could still have a chance as they need more games but okay.

The majority of players he has signed that have played in the first team have had an impact of some sort, the others have either been loaned or sold for profit. He has been shrewd in the transfer market.

[Thor 2,692]

Funny seeing how many people underrate Pedro. Clearly haven't seen much of him since he sits on the bench now and it is blatantly apparent when people are excited about other prospects in the transfer section for that other wing position but not for him.

He really is fantastic, and a lot better than some of the bigger "names" being mentioned for us. I'd rather Pedro than Greizmann or Sterling. He is a better player than both.

[RhesusReus 219]

If he wasn't would have he been sold? Cuz I doubt his workrate was bad. I liked Schurrle, he didn't do good here.

Schurrle wanted to leave. Do you understand that? We didn't sell him because we wanted to. He asked to be sold. HE ASKED.
