ssn are stating Man U have dropped interest in pedro.
Mrs Costa u legend! Fingers crossed it goes through .

Hopefully it is being misreported. This will most definitely turn out to be a signing for a signings sake. He will fizzle out quicker then Cesc and turn into a impact sub. He isn't good enough, and certainly isn't strong enough for the Premier League.

Don't usually disagree with you Melbourne, but have to on this one. Top player in my opinion, scores and gets assists. Plus psychologically the deal reflects poorly on United, especially following LVG making comments about Pedro.
19 Aug 2015 12:11:02
Damn Melbourne CFC, we agree. I thought I was alone thinking exactly the same. Too fragile for the Premiership and seems it is a 'points scoring' signing rather than well thought out. I sincerely hope we are wrong and not another Cuadrado.
19 Aug 2015 12:27:39
I just hope he doesn't turn out to be another Salah or Cuadrado, or even Willian.
19 Aug 2015 12:32:12
Agreed with Melb :/ not good enough
19 Aug 2015 12:33:50
You started the sentence so well CFCFOREVER ;)
I could well be wrong mate, and I agree he will add goals and assists but it won't be every game, and he won't improve the team on the whole. there's a reason he has barely started for Barca for the last few years. Even pre Suarez he wasn't getting starts regularly. I hope I'm wrong on this one too mate, but I'm not convinced I will be. Will still support the bloke though
19 Aug 2015 12:52:07
You trying to get me to change my mind, Frensham? ;)
19 Aug 2015 13:08:05
Melbourne, the reason pre-Suarez was Neymar. Before Neymar joined, he was averaging 41 appearances a season. Plus his goal record is around 1 in 3 games and I think around 118 assists in about 350 games? I have always rated him very highly to be honest!
Good to see you back to posting regularly though, nice to have some common sense for once! ;)

Stats are deceptive mate. How many of those appearances were starts? How many goals came late on against tired legs?
19 Aug 2015 16:26:41
If he passes to Messi and Messi then dribbles round 11 players and scores does that count as an assist?
19 Aug 2015 16:39:58
I know one of those came in the Wembley Champions League Final in 2011 against Manchester United ;)

Pedro is better than wht we have atm for right wing.
Cuadrado is carrots can't even run let alone play football.
Willian is superb but doesn't score enough. I'd prefer willian in the att centre mid.love willian.
Moses had a great pre season but is never going to hold down a first team.
Toare needs loaning out still young and still has a lot to learn.
Team if we sign pedro.
Courtios
Dave zouma terry rahman
Fab matic
Pedro willian/ oscar hazard
Costa
Don't shoot me down people only my opinion.
Ur opinions welcome no abuse please we are all cfc supporter!
Up the blues!

Love how ghe ed's change S***t to carrots lol quailty

RedRosie - great point mate. I'm sure that accounts for a good portion of his assists.
CFCFOREVER - you've just instantly come round to the idea a little more ;)
Wheely - I agree he is better than what we have, or at least more direct, but don't agree on Willian. His passing range isn't great, he rarely scores, all he really offers is a terrific workrate and pace. I don't see a central move being beneficial to him, or the team.
Also mate don't put any attention into if someone shoots down your opinion or not. If they do its just their opinion. Too many on this page seem to be fragile when it comes to open debate. If someone you don't know, says something online you don't agree with, and it hurts your feelings, you really need to learn better coping mechanisms
19 Aug 2015 18:38:16
Red Rosie has spoken an awful lot of sense, are you sure you are a United fan?!
19 Aug 2015 19:18:24
Wheelycfc: That is a useful defensive line up if they can gel quickly and enhances attacking options. Might get shot but given his hint of coming back to form, I would replace Fabregas with Oscar and give a full outing to Falcao. The cameo roles will never give us a clue as to whether he still has it but if he has it would increase firepower. As much as I like Willian for effort he's not scoring and I think slows the play.

Whatever Melbourne thinks there's a lot of frustration and panic on MU page.
