We'd be fools not to try and sign him

Yes, and look how Cecs leaving affected them...they got 3 major trophies. Pedro is playing around some of the best players in the world (one of them is the best), what els did you expect? stats never tell the whole story.

 

I'm not familiar with the Barca forums that you pips hang around but I value those Barca fans that I spoke with highly. I don't want this guy anywhere near my team.

Look out guys, we've got an expert here

I'm sure you will just need to deal with it if he signs which I'm hoping he does.

Well, believe me that if he'll end up here and eventually does well I'll be happy.

 

bjd, voicing my opinion and presenting those of my Barca fans friedns doesn't require you to act like a Dbag.

I'll be thrilled if we sign him, think he could be exactly what we need to improve

Well Barca fans watch him weekly. You'd have to generally be inclined to agree with their opinion on him. He didn't even play regularly last season, early on Munir was in good form, and that was before Suarez came back and cemented his place in the forward line. 

 

I'm not saying that we shouldn't sign him, I'm just saying if Barca supporters think maybe he has declined or is a frustrating player, then we probably should expect the same.

Barca fans weren't bothered about seeing the back of Fabregas either and he didn't work out too badly.

Good point. I suppose it's just echoes "take it with a pinch of salt". 

98 goals in 318 games for Barcelona. roughly 1 in 3 for a winger that's not ultimately a starter, that is incredible and just what we need. I'm repeating myself but I would love this signing to happen.

His record is obviously good but what they are saying is he's declined since Pep left. But I wouldn't worry too much as that seemed to happen to almost every single Barca player after Pep left. And if you go back to the season before last, people were saying Barca were a spent force and we know how that turned out. 

Yeah they all looked declined as hell last season...when they won the triple.

Before suarez and rakitic joined, the team looked disjointed with the changing of managers, differing tactics and their best players aging and becoming less impactful, but now suarez and neymar have improved immensely, it's made a huge difference to their side. I still believe that barca are very fortunate to have had a player of messi's calibre in their side over the years who has scored a crazy amount of goals for them. i think if you give pedro enough playing time and he is able to gain consistency, he could be a real danger in the EPL.

I guess my point is this guy has won everything there is to win and played at the top level in a top team for long time. That's not coincidence. He can't be 'pure sh*t' as you stated.

Oh and what's a dbag?'

Some of the best players in our league from aguero to fabregas all came from Spain so no have no doubt he'll flourish. Being second fiddle at Barcelona is different from being second fiddle at espanyol or deportivo. Hope we get him.

Barca just reduced his buyout to 30m euro. Looks like a deal with someone is coming. Especially with them siging Turan.

Id love to see him brought in. I think hed be a great sub and he could start against teams who are going to park their bus against us. Willian is dreadful in situations like that imo.

Sounds like Mikel.

God I hope we sign him

can someone post the obligatory pedro youtube clip please? I know of Pedro already, but there is something about watching those Youtube clips that gets me excited, all in vain ofcorse unless we sign him! Heres hoping we do, slightly off topic, but I'm still a strong fan of buying back Thorgan next season. He is on course to have his best season yet, and will be displaying his talent in the CL, in the group stages anyway.

 

A hazard on both wings is still my fantasy.

We sold him.

We do have a buy back clause apparently though

We sold him.

 

did we not sell him with the option to buy back or some sort of option in his contract? And if so, hopefully he turns out the same as Matic and we sign him again!

Yeah we will have first option on him.

I can't see it being taken up any time soon though.

We still have a wealth of players in that position out on loan with guys like Traore coming back this season.

If we are to buy another one it would need to be one who can slot right in and improve on our current squad. Don't think Hazard does that.

Ivan------Cahill-----Terry----Azpi

Begovic

Oscar

Zouma

Falcao

Ramires

RLC

Remy

Then you have the likes of Cuadrado who if Pedro was to come in you would imagine he'd be making way.

Luis I also think might be on the way out if he isn't getting much game time so we'd need backup in that position.

Great lineup Chelsbear, I still think we can expect big things from Oscar this season though! He has had a proper rest for the first time in about 3 years so hopefully he can get back to his best.
