By KP Go To PostMane is quality. His ceiling is easily as high as Pedro's current level if not higher. He took some time to adjust to the league and can still be a tad inconsistent but he really makes things happen. That being said I can't see us selling this summer and if we did it would be more than Pedro just went for.
Yeah its all a bit irrelevant because I don't think you'll sell lol
By Elchele Go To PostHow is Pedro a bigger "star" than Mané? lol
Mane is a RB Salzburg legend
How is this even a question?
That's not me saying Mane won't be a good signing, maybe even better than Pedro. But one is a player with a couple of hundred matches for Barca, 50 matches for the Spain national team and several times winner of CL.
The other is a player from Senegal, who has only made himself known to regular people who don't watch fucking Austrian football before last year, and for a club that didn't win anything.

Been busy at work today, here's my take:
Pedro. Did he really want to come? The straight answer is no. He said as much himself, he didmt want to leave Barca, but he felt he had to because he wasn't going to get the game time he wanted.
Mane. Good player. Not got the star power, never going to be a world class player, but looking at him I can see why Van Gaal thinks he might be a good fit. Would have to wait and see.
The reaction on Twitter etc is ridiculous. We are Manchester United. We are the greatest club in the world. We win where other teams would find it impossible. We won the champions league with Anderson playing centre mid. We won the title with a team made out of dross. Give us 11 players with the quality of Mane and we'd make the champions league. Give us Mane alongside Mata and Memphis and Rooney and we'll win the title. Then next year we will prepare again, bring in a couple more players, and then, in 2017, we shall be champions of Europe again. There does not exist a team that can stop us. We are Manchester United. We have never lost a game, only ever run out of time. We shall be victorious once more.

Mail say they're setting price at £25 million, we've offered £15 million so far.

£15m is lolz
Bare in mind we paid 12 for him. And he's had a very good season, long contract etc..
By Woodenlung Go To PostHow is this even a question?I know Pedro is more known and has achieved more, but he's far from having any "star" status. Hell, even Thiago who played like 5 matches for Barcelona is a much much bigger star.

Pedro has always looked like a team/depth player and nothing more, at least to me. I think Mané has more personality.

I honestly feel that sentence could end up in a Brendan Rodgers interview.
Sky Sports coverage of the United Pedro/Mane thing is so weird. They're talking as if Mane is the pedigree signing that Pedro actually is.
You'd swear Pedro was the young lad they were taking a chance on.

By n8 Go To PostI like Willian. sue me
He's an easy target tbf. He does have a place.......... high energy, some trick, but his end product is just too meh for a modern winger. Pedro will be a big upgrade imo
Willian won't lose his spot to Pedro.
Willian might move central and Pedro will be on the right.
Sell Oscar to Juve.

Fucking Pedro. I do feel pity for the Chelsea fans. He's about the shittest player I've seen.
If Liverpool signed him, I'd be calling for an execution. He is shit. I guess his only starts will be in Champions League. What a ridiculous sum to spend on that.

As a result, @Serguei expects legal action to be taken, presumably by the agent who was left out of the deal. More to come. (2/2)

Pedro isn't shit, but outside of the goal return I don't think he's very good. Goals alone is good enough for a lot of teams, but not enough for others.
By wedward Go To PostHe'd be Liverpool's best winger.Have to see more of Firmino before making that call, surely?

I don't think you play in that Pep Barca if you are only good at scoring goals.
By everthustodeadbeats Go To PostFucking Pedro. I do feel pity for the Chelsea fans. He's about the shittest player I've seen.Don't worry about us, we Chelsea fans have had our fair share of shit players. One more isn't going to kill us.

Thought Firmino wasn't really a winger. I mean, Brendan might play him there, but I was always under the impression he was better through the middle.
By wedward Go To PostHe'd be Liverpool's best winger.

We need goals, but we don't need a Pedro. I wonder if Mou wanted him and I wonder if he can have even 2 straight starts.
Best of luck to you, m8, but he's shit.
By wedward Go To PostI don't understand how you watch Pedro and think he is shit. He isn't Messi or Neymar.
And therefor he is SHIT
Welcome to football fandom.
By wedward Go To PostWillian might move central .
this would be highly entertaining on like 10 different levels hope it happens
By Dusk Prophet Go To PostDon't worry about us, we Chelsea fans have had our fair share of shit players. One more isn't going to kill us.
Chelsea are such a big money club, they have players on loan all over the league and other leagues. It feels like a Russian mafia. If you can spend the money and use the rules to your advantage, I'm all for it. Chelsea does.
It just feels like Chelsea fucked up. The fact that two top clubs seemed interested in him for a high price makes me feel wrong, but every time I watch him, he's just terrible.
He'll be loaned out to Stoke in a year.
By Esch Go To Postthis would be highly entertaining on like 10 different levels hope it happens
He's played there before for Chelsea.

If we don't challenge for the league or make it to the CL semi's this season or next I think Sanchez will want out.
He seems too competitive to be willing to sit around and not compete for major trophies.

Willian would do a good job pretty much anywhere on the pitch I feel aside from obviously GK/CB/CF, but you absolutely need the rest of the team to pick up the goalscoring slack. Don't know why since he's technically very sound, but his goal output is just awful and I don't think he gets many assists either.
