Pedro follows Cesc to Chelsea

Passing is wrong. They forgot Pedro has Barca DNA imo

Oh my ****ing Shankly, have they really made Football Managers attributes a thing now? I hope Sky falls down now.

I don't think those are FM attributes. Versatility and movement are not in FM... Maybe a secret EPL manager game?

Bale must be incoming (:

They must be because they have actually made an article about it lol.

They should be closed and jailed by the sanity police

Not sure why they need to analyze Pedro and Oscar anyway, two players have played at CL for multiple years.

Unless you live in a cave, you will know who they are anyway lol.

Not this again

Expecting Pedro's Movement to decrease once he adopts the Chelsea playing style

How does one measure 'versatility' to such an accurate degree.



I'll tell you how.


They don't.


Sack whoever came up with this random rating system bullshit.

What's Eto'os versatility btw?

From leading the line as a ST at Barca to locking down opposition wingers like prime Bellerin at RB under Mou in Inter    

definitely around 18-19 imo

In what world is Pedro more versatile than Oscar lmao?

Oscar played as a 9 against arsenal last season, played we'll until his concussion. He can play anywhere behind the striker can also play as a Cm/DM.

Yeah I am with Realgunner on this.

Pedro is replacing Willian btw.

30M from Pedro has to be one of the best deals Barcelona has ever made.

Football manager? Yeah lets substitute reality (OPTA) with fantasy (FM) and sell it to the Fakenaldo-generation.

at SKY, I mean seriously.

It's official.

Can't wait for the reaction of the Barca fans when Pedro scores a brace this weekend with both goals assisted by Fabregas.

Pedro: "‘I am very happy to be here. I am very excited to start my adventure at Chelsea and I am here to keep winning titles." [cfc]

Pedro: "Thanks to the club and the supporters for giving me the opportunity to put the blue shirt on." [cfc]

He is really only 1.67 m tall? Finally a player I am taller than

Chelsea still need a midfielder, but this should make things interesting.

Guaranteed blank face, after seeing somebody created those situations for him.

Call me when he wins a match for Chelsea with individual quality.

Chelsea cleaning up Barca's garbage. Thank you

LMAO Pedro is only average/trash on GL. Only place on the internet with such opinion

This place never changes and then when he starts performing well, the inevitable thread bumps will start

If you can't see that he's obviously a huge upgrade on anything we have on our RW, then idk what to say to you.

We haven't gotten a RW player capable of scoring 10 goals a season since prime Kalou. Says a lot about our offensive output on that wing. Add to the fact that Pedro is actually a hardworker, he'll fit right in.

He also gives us the option of playing a very balanced 4-3-3 with an Oscar-Matic-Cesc midfield and Pedro-Costa-Hazard attack. Before him, we didn't have that option. We wouldn't need to buy Pedro if Willian actually knew where the goal was and Oscar doesn't ghost out for the final 60% of the season.

He's not Neymar/Reus/whatever world class signing, he's not even the Pedro he used to be but he's still a VERY good technical player who's a skilled finisher and a hardworker. I'm not sure how this is supposed to be a bad buy in a time where Ramires sometimes plays RW for us (shoot me now!)

Joke's on you if you think he's useless. I'm DELIGHTED with this signing.

Not really, he's been crap since 2011 lol.

2011/12.... 5 league goals in in 29 games

2012/13.... 7 league goals in 28 games

Last season.... 6 league goals in 35 games.

DAT GL MYTH DOE, tbf he did score 15 the season before last but considering he's struggled to get above that in the other 3 seasons combined i'm gonna say he won't replicate that again.

The eye test tells you he doesn't make the same runs as he used to and just gets the ball and passes it back to his midfield most of the time.

Most of your post isn't wrong tbh, but the idea that he hasn't heavily regressed as a player since 2011 is no myth. It's backed up to numbers and anyone who has watched him regularly over the last few years with a sort of working eyes.

Also i could care less what the rest of the internet thinks tbh, most of them think Colback is a good player and Pardew plays good football. Every forum i look at is full of morons who i'm convinced just watch MOTD and repeat what their mates at the pub say and Twitter opinions don't even bare thinking about as their all idiots to a man.

Billionmillion looks an intelligent human being compared to most idiots i see on the internet tbh.

Chavtastic.

You actually think I'm serious with those

Wasn't talking about you lol, around the internet there are actually those who believe it lol.
