Sadio Mane

What a stupid thing to say, he played for them because Pep identified him as a player who could work in his system and did very well, just because he isn't Messi doesn't mean he's bang average. If you're going by his performances at Chelsea then all their players are bang average going by that logic.

Pedro is a very good player, espicialky in an attacking and skilful side, not what chelsea are famed for (although they have their moments). Probably Woukdnt have worked for us, given our current style.

Pedro is decent nothing more... which else bang average!!! This is what I saw while he was a Barca player and it's being borne out at Chelsea.

Cos he was Pep fav doesn't make a him a great player. He's been a bit part player for almost 3 years under a variety of other coaches...

*which equals bang average

How was he a bit part? He was crucial to the offensive trio that made Pep's '11 side so strong and continued to be so up until Barca brought in Suarez and Neymar, probably the 3rd and 4th best players on the planet. He more often than not was favoured over Sanchez and Cesc for Barca.

Did you actually watch him at Barca or are you just saying this for sh-ts and giggles?

Do do realize '11 was over 4 years ago?

I'm not disputing he was an important cog in Pep's side but he's been bit part since... as I mentioned in my post.

Sanchez and Tello were selected ahead of him alot!! Before Neymar pretty much ended his Barca career.

Anyway I don't think there's a need to argue too much about this... Let's see how he gets on at Chelsea. I can't see him being a hit in England, cos I think he's an average footballer made to look better than he really is.

'Sanchez and Tello were selected ahead of him alot!!'

No they weren't, you've just completely made that up. Like I said, up until the arrival of Neymar and Suarez he was a regular for Barca.

You also said he was bang average at Barca so what has the fact he was an important part of Pep's Barca 4 years ago got to do with it?

Let's face it, Neymar and Suarez arrive at any club, you' ve lost your pkace.

True, and that doesn't make you average like Memphis is suggesting. He's currently struggling at a club that is struggling throughout, never going to be easy to show your best form. He's 28, at the peak of his game and if a very good player who I would happily take today if we could.

Can you think of any strikers that would keep their place of Neymar and suarez arrived? Aguerro and Kane might, and it's a slim might.

Pedro would not have played for that Barca team unless he was not a good player. He's playing in a discontented struggling and techically inferior side to his last, no wonder he is not showing what he's capable of.
