I only did it jokingly. It's safe to say a few people were sad Pedro didn't sign,but it's all worked out well. I take issue with the people who acted like we were a joke of a club that day.Yeah I didn't say I was completely against his signing
There weren't a lot of other likely candidates in the summer and for that fee it wouldn't have been a bad deal imo, but not the perfect one either. Everything else was just some optimism and I am also happy we didn't sign Otamendi
Pedro at Chelsea
- Thread starter Raw
- Start date
New league and he's playing in a struggling team. Still too early to start gloating. I remember a few on here were saying the same about Ozil during his first season when he started brightly and then faded badly.
Naming and shaming people in hindsight is too small time. Almost everyone at that time felt that Chelsea sneaked him right under our noses.
Also, in a transfer forum, people tend to me a bit less objective (specially during the summer transfer window when there is no football being played).

No. It's not small time at all. You post shit you get banged. (Quoted)
People are absolute idiots in the transfer forum all the time, they deserve to be mocked.
Safety in numbers?
Twig I'm not sure you should encourage people to dig up your Moyes posts
Yeah I wanted him. I didn't throw a shit fit when we didn't sign him.
I've got absolutely no problem with them. I'll stick up through this club through a lot. I don't mind people mocking me for that. "Oh no you believed too much in the club."Twig I'm not sure you should encourage people to dig up your Moyes posts
What I can't stand is people acting like if we don't sign a player it's the end of the world. Calling the club embarrassing or shambolic.
I was exactly like you regarding Pedro, but it's small time to dig old posts particularly when Pedro is still better than our wingers.
Well best of luck with your crusade then.
Please. I doubt you'd be digging up those old posts if he was a huge success at Chelsea.
This sums him up at Chelsea

What the feck is he doing?
Well obviously not.
I remember everyone pissing their pants when he signed for Chelsea.
How well he does shouldn't change the way you feel about posters calling the club an embarrassment. Small time to pick a moment when he isn't doing well to take a dig.
He's pretty wank.
He was the missing piece to our shit jigsaw according to some on here.
first thing I thought
That's 100 times worse than any Fellaini gif going around
It's funny that F365 had a golating feature about Pedro and him being Chelsea's extra dimension and United's HUUUUGEEE loss. Sign of this and that after one fecking game.
I cant find it now, surely they didn't delete the thing?

This definitely.
He was overly negative, to say the least. I never understand that. If something supposedly brings you so much misery, then why support it?
What the hell is he doing in that GIF?!?
I really wanted him at United and was gutted he went to Chelsea.
Still think he would have been a good fit for us.

same here. never went ape shit when we missed out on him though. always thought he would have probably been more suited for us under LVG than Chelsea under mou
Yeah, feck the Japanese too right?
feckin strange one that
What he do?
Not really.

He is going towards his goal after probably winning the ball back. He decides to take responsibility rather than pass it to the keeper because I assume he saw there was someone coming to press.
Amazed he is being written off already, (not actually, it is the Caf) New country, new language is hard enough without throwing in the huge issues the team as a whole has suffered from, internal issues, new manager. Been poor but not reading anything in to it until next season.
I thought he would do great in the EPL too, but it seems he's doing a Torres special.
Tracking back?What the feck is he doing?
Not sure about that. Both have been underwhelming to say the least, however Mata did have that period at Chelsea where he excelled.
If you're writing off him now you may as well write off Depay, Darmian, etc. I think give them all another season to adjust.
I don't think Pedro could be deemed poor a few years back, but his performances had been regressing for a very fair period prior him joining Chelsea.
Obviously to early to completely write him off but, I though he was a completely overrated player and I did not understand the hoopla people had for hi over the summer. He is an intelligent player but, does not have much individual quality.
He is a decent player who is playing horribly in a terrible chelsea team. In his first season in EPL. He would probably have done better here but not by much given we never really play to his strengths of off the ball movement and running.
Being fair 90% of the Caf have written off both Depay and Darmian.
Plus they've decided that Lingard will never make it. The Caf is harsh on every player irrespective of the club.
If the caf was a scout, a lot of footballers would be depressed.
