Solution on the wing?
How much d'you reckon he's worth?
I'd be surprised if Barça turned down an offer in the region of 30M...is he worth it? Why not, he's certainly 20 times the player Loldado is. But do you need a player like him?
Good interview with the player here. Reveals a bit of the guy's character. Seems to me he'd fit in nicely in any squad really...

Pedro, anyone?

He's playing in a system he's grown up in all his life and consistently looks like the weakest player in the team when he's selected.

Load of nonsense, he was Barcelonas best player in the early few months of the season and especially when Messi got injured.

No he wasn't. Alexis was their best player by an absolute mile.

Not in my opinion, he was up there, but Pedro made the difference in the games i seen.

Pedro is a fantastic player. One of the best finishers in the world, versatile. Wouldn't leave.

I remember reading somewhere that the Barca scouts had to be begged to take him as a makeweight in the Jeffren deal from Tenerife.
I'd hate to have been the bloke who said no.

Would be a superb addition but if we're looking for a winger who can score and make goals but do little else.... then look no further than Carlos Vela who can be brought back for £4.8m.
He'd literally be a left sided Theo Walcott, with a tad less speed but more composed finish!
I miss him

Kos, I think the period for the buyback clause on Vela expired last summer.
Regarding Alexis being Barça's best player in Messi's absence, it's a pity CroCop -the Barça fan who was on earlier- didn't return to give his opinion. I'm pretty sure he disagrees with that.

Pedro and Sanchez are probably as good as each other. Pedro has been historically better as this is clearly Sanchez's best season and Pedro has pretty much matched it.
Sanchez offers a bit more physicality and Pedro is a much better finisher.
Toss a coin really almost nothing between them.
