This is a strange one for me:

I've never rated Pedro and that's why he was playing second fiddle last season at Barce

He doesn't score many and he doesn't create many for a wide forward... especially in a team like Barce!

Other strange things:

Chelsea have Hazard, Oscar, Cuadrado, Moses... and now Pedro: Why? Surely they should have strengthened other areas!?

But what I find most strange is that Barce have let a squad player go that they cannot replace due to their transfer embargo!
Anyone know if they've got a kid lined up?

Moses and Cuadrado aren't up to much.  Pedro is a a better player than the both of those two together.

I'm not sure he actually is...

Out of 6 full seasons at Barce he's only scored double figures 3 times (12,13 & 15)
The others were 5,6 & 7
58 goals in 204 games, roughly 1 goal every 4 games
If you've seen his crossing then it's as bad as Navas's, though in Pedro's defence he does actually score!

Most importantly for a wide forward though is assists (in my book) and he only got 6 last season, Barce can easily score six against the bottom spanish teams in one match!

I think his pace may stretch teams but then i think he'ss struggle in the final third

204 games, but how many minutes? He wasn't a starter, mostly brought on as a sub. Can't deny Cuadrado hadn't been up to much and Moses is a bit of a lump.

So I've done your job for you Swiss, you lazy wanker. 

Since the '09 - '10 season (when he became a regular) Pedro has spent 18,748 minutes on the pitch.  This includes League, Cup, Champions League games (basically any competitive games for Barca).

18,748 / 90 is approximately equivalent to 208 full games.  He's scored 99 goals in this period and assisted 63.  That's pretty good stats.

You can show stats to mean anything ;)


If he turns out to be quality I'll eat a hat made out of broccolli...
