Woodward the coward. Will never come close to uncle Flo like this.

I hope it's true because I never thought this would be a useful addition to our squad. I can't even imagine Pedro at Man United. And to be clear with this, I'm not saying that Pedro is shit or something like this (because this kind of assumptions and talks were trending these days about Pedro), I just believe he isn't the proper transfer move that we need right now in attack.

It would be nice to see an official denial of this rumours about Pedro coming to Manchester.

Hope Rio Ferdinand becomes next Manchester United sporting director.

"When people talk about that Barcelona team they usually focus on Xavi, Iniesta and Messi. For me, though, the real killers were the wingers, Pedro

(...)

Pedro was disciplined, intelligent and always did the right thing for his team; he never showboated or did flashy skills. For me, he was the one who really made them tick."

Rio Ferdinand's autobiography:

Pedro made Barca tick. (:

He may be right. My point above (and probably the point of view of many (Later Edit: some) other Man United fans) still stands.

It's about the squad and team chemistry which LvG is working on right now and Pedro doesn't appear to be the next piece of the puzzle. Metaphorically speaking, he is from another puzzle and LvG probably realised this now. Better later than never.

Woody ffs. All this effort for nothing

by Glory Fri Jul 24, 2015 11:10 am

If we buy him LvG will mess it up and play him in an unnatural position like in a midfield 3 or something like that disrupting the entire team balance and stuff. So please no.
Hope Don Woody wont proceed with this.

If AdM is indeed sold, and if theres no other option this window, the preference should be given to the budding youngsters like Pereira or Januzaj than a 29 year old squaddie like Pedro.

That alone warrants us to stay clear of such a move Laughing

It's on again Twisted Evil

Man United are preparing to pay the 30M buyout fee of Barcelona winger Pedro (27). The transfer could be sealed next week. [daily express]

by futbol Fri Jul 24, 2015 2:07 pm

According to Redcafe:

I reckon this is a done deal, I dont know if anyone else has noticed but MUTV are advertising the game against Barca on Saturday with highlights of both utd and barca players but literally in all barca clips being shown Pedro (you would have thought Messi/Neymar) is centrally focused and is the only barca player shown on his own. I reckon they know something, they are out on tour with them after all.

Suspiscious. hmm

by Unique Fri Jul 24, 2015 2:11 pm

Informed from Spain that Pedro could be packing his bags & heading to Manchester.
IMO better import than DiMaria, Ozil & even Sanchez!?

Rob Palmer is also spelt bor remlap backwards.

That sounds a lot like rubbish

Just like his comment

just buy him already manu

Didnt Bayern buy Douglas Costa for 30 mill? He is 5 times the player Pedro is.

by VivaStPauli Fri Aug 07, 2015 9:43 am

But isn't Pedro Spanish...?

No, he isn't. He could start by scoring double digits in a season someday to make some similar claim.

Yeah. Let's see what Costa does first before making such statements.

What he is though is LIGHTNING FAST so that's great Laughing

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Fri Aug 07, 2015 2:48 pm

Wouldn't be hard for Costa to better the performances of Pedro since Pep left mind.

I'll be disappointed if he doesn't tbh.

I choked on my food when i saw dis Laughing

I am seriously starting to not only question but straight out doubt the football acumen of certain English "analysts". Pedro really isn't good at all and I do wish Linz (linetty) and Futbol stop giving Woodward and Redcafe false information. Sad

by Myesyats Fri Aug 07, 2015 5:19 pm

Linz?

I'm just telling it like it is :coffee:
