Yes its very hard to be the new kid in school

Pedro's not going anywhere. He is staying so if any of the trio is injured we have a reliable sub and will surpass Ronaldinho in goals scored securing his place as a true Barça legend. Next season maybe.

Once he gets out of Barcelona, will end up in some mid table La Liga club.

Average players don't score in CL, European Supercup, CWC and Copa del Rey finals, don't score 99 goals for Barcelona and can't do stuff like this:

I agree with Free_Cat for once. Also, Pedro has one asset that makes him an absolute dream come true for Barca:
You usually don't get players of his quality to agree to ride the bench that much. Many players would've pushed for a move out of Barca after the Nerman and Suarez signings.

Keep ignoring the facts if you want lol, he's been crap since Pep left.

lmao yeah i'm sure you watch every barca game since you're such a big fan.

No i'm just not oblivious to the fact that he's been shite since 2011.

You Barca fans did the same with Ronaldinho, even when he couldn't dribble past a player anymore you kept telling yourself he'll be back even when it was painfully obvious he wouldn't be.

Not my fault you can't see that Pedro hasn't been the same since Pep left because you are so emotionally invested lol.

He was underrated during Pep's time btw, but that ship has long since sailed.

Pedro hasn't been shite since 2011, this season he was very good, better than the previous past 2 seasons and probably better than in his first seasons. Fantastic player to have as rotation.

by Doc Thu Jul 23, 2015 6:52 am

Well, I would consider Pedro fantastic too if I thought he was better than Stoichkov.

Not sure if anyone underrates Pedro since we are in 2015 and not, let's say, 2011 where his form was at its peak. He just isn't good enough anymore. Futbol, as much as he is annoying, honestly described it perfectly.

Soccer wrote:Frankly, Pedro only ever had like 1 1/2 good seasons in total. 09/10 and 10/11. Why do I say 1 1/2 and not 2? Because even in 10/11, which was easily his best season, he only ever had a great spell of form between November and February. He scored 13 goals that season of which 12 were scored between 07.11.2010 - 29.01.2011. In the same time frame he recorded 5 out of his total 8 assists. Considering the Xmas break that's 2 months of great form. The other 5 1/2 months of the season he scored 1 goal and had 3 assists. That's horrible and a Pedro who doesn't score or assist is a useless player. He's no Hazard or Ribery who dribble, destabilize defenses and create chances without scoring.

Utd post Fergie has done some weird things but they can do better than signing Pedro for 30 million. Or Chelsea for that matter who recently has been doing some pretty decent business.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Jul 23, 2015 6:56 am

Pedro scored 6 goals this season lmao.

Cisse has only started 11 games and doubled that amount and he's shit lol.

Dunno how anyone with a set of eyes can begin to claim he was good lol.

ffs, stop quoting that. At least wait until he's sold. If the Manchester United Internet Opinion Scouts read this now and decide not to spend € 30M on him I will find you and I will let the air out of your bicycle's tires. Mad

by Khaled Thu Jul 23, 2015 1:11 pm

EPL teams are spending millions on frauds, Liverpool just bought Benteke for 50 million euros!

Pedro is very underrated, he's not playing because he has MSN in front of him and no one and I mean NO forward in the world can have enough playing time with MSN on his team, Pedro can easily score 25-30 goals for Man Utd in a season!

Buying Pedro for 30m euros is a steal!!

Lol, Pedro plays winger and has played very little this season. Also, he has an average of around 1 goal + assist per 90 minutes played, which is pretty good.
And if you guys had watched him this season, without prejudices, you'd seen he is in good form and better than he was several years ago. And example is his game vs. Atletico Madrid away, were he was inmense and our best mortal player.

Pedro since 2011 has only hit over 10 league goals once.....

MSN DOE !!!!!!

by Myesyats Thu Jul 23, 2015 10:50 pm

16 goals and 8 assists last season playing almost regularly

6 goals and 9 assists this season (19 games in starting line up)

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Jul 23, 2015 10:55 pm

As i said one season.....

The two seasons after 2011 he scored 7 and 5 goals Laughing

MSN DOE !!!!!

So to recap he's scored 18 goals in the other 3 seasons since 2011.

MSN DOE !!!!!

He has actually scored 10+ goals every season since 2008/09, unless for some reason you don't consider champions league or cups games real football games.

30 milion is about his real value.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Jul 23, 2015 11:02 pm

I specifically said league games..... It's the only competition everyone plays so when comparing players it's the only one i usually pay attention to.

He has only scored 10 goals+ once in 4 years and he doesn't really contribute much outside of that.... yet you lot are out here blaming MSN Laughing

GTFO honestly lmao.

by Myesyats Thu Jul 23, 2015 11:03 pm

Benteke 13 goals 2 assists 50 mil
Pedro 16 goals 8 assists 15 mil

Seems about right

Pedro doesn't countribute much outside that? Get your facts straight before spilling your bs ok?

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Jul 23, 2015 11:05 pm

Benteke plays for Villa and he cost 32m lol, stop exaggerating the money to make a point lol.

32 mil pounds lol

Thats almost 50 mil euros

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Jul 23, 2015 11:07 pm

Who gives a shit what it is in Euros lol, the teams involved were both english teams lol.

If you actually want to compare, Pedro would cost 23m pounds which is his release clause don't go complaining because your club is stupid.

by Myesyats Thu Jul 23, 2015 11:20 pm

I think Pedro's value is just about 23m pounds and nothing below that as most of people here seem to think. I just wanted to put it into perspective that 32 mil for Benteke is "more normal" than 23 mil for Pedro according to the general feeling on here which is lolworthy

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Jul 23, 2015 11:25 pm

Because Benteke's release clause was 32m, Liverpool chose to pay it. Not their fault that they put a release clause in his contract which is probably above his value and you chose to not do so with Pedro.

Also besides he's scored more goals than Pedro has over the last 3 seasons, he's not a scrub like some of you are acting.

by halamadrid2 Thu Jul 23, 2015 11:26 pm

Pedro isn't worth more than Callejon. We should've sold him this summer. Could've easily gotten in excess of €25 mill for him

by MaraVilla Thu Jul 23, 2015 11:29 pm

Pedro is a 3 time CL winner, 1 time final goal , multiple la liga winner. Big game player, 30m is a bargain :coffee:

by Unique Thu Jul 23, 2015 11:33 pm

La Liga: 2008–09, 2009–10, 2010–11, 2012–13, 2014–15
