I feel like he was another player Mourinho signed so that nobody else could sign him. However he had a solid Chelsea career.

Biggest story in football for me this. Very good player in his prime, Chelsea signed him slightly past it but he still did a good job when needed. Congrats Pedro! X

More PL Titles than Stevie Me :)

Yeah, us! Haha. In hindsight it’s crazy to think that at the time we were linked with Pedro & Mane and the overwhelming majority of fans wanted Pedro.

:lol:
He's been OK. It surprised me to find he was 28 when he signed for Chelsea, I thought he was the wrong side of 30 considering he always looked a bit of a stopgap. That said I suppose 20 mil or so including bonuses is the going rate for a decent squad player these days, and he's been pretty good at that.

Liked him more in Barcelona. Mostly because he was pretty good for Chelsea, solid signing.

Coronavirus killed 0000s of people, some of whom were infected because LFC wanted their 'European night at Anfield' in March when everyone else was cancelling or playing BCD. There will now be mass gatherings which will kill more people. Pretty depressing all round. Should have been voided. Not nice at all
You can't blame them for celebrating. They've been dreaming of the day Pedro finally left for years.

Guy was a bit naff, in all. Sure he won the PL and the Europa, but he got 29 goals in 136 PL games.

Would say he's been a good squad player for them which is in line with his skillset. Still cracks me up how Xavi and the Barça-Machine promoted Pedro as a discount Messi when he decided to leave Barcelona.

In fairness, technically every attacking winger in football could be described as a discount Messi.

Nice trolling :D

HE will do well at Roma if Paulo Fonseca stays there: he's a manager who thrives on attacking football and he knows how to get the best out of experienced players.

Good thread. I feel his best days left with Conte but he's still done alright for himself I suppose.
