I read a lot of comments on here, where you say Pedro has got to leave after this season. I honestly don't understand that. I totally agree, that he has anything but lived up to our expectations to him, but come on - who, except perhaps Willian and Zouma, has lived up to our expectations this season? I think that he's played a couple of amazing matches, showing that he's still got what it takes, and I believe we'd be dumb to let him leave after the worst season in a very long time, in spite of his (many) bad matches.

Agreed! Well said.

Pedro - I think we have younger players in his position who are at least as good potentially - Troare, Kenedy, Musonda, Boga, Piazon, Cuadrado, and Moses. Keeping Pedro hinders their progress.

Not so sure EmilSC, you summed it up yourself, "in spite of his (many) bad matches. You say, still has what it takes, I don't think he ever had what it takes. He was long time bit player in a good team. From the day we bought him I said it was a waste of money and I stand by that. He is too lightweight, passing and giving the ball away tiresome and we have youngsters that do things so much better.

Don't listen to a lot of what gets put on here! LOL. I've read people slating Willian on here. People saying we shouldn't buy Douglas Costa or whoever. It's all a bit of fun. Pedro is a good player who if he stays, will probably be a good fit under Conte who likes quick, high energy players who can look to press high up the pitch. I wouldn't be surprised to see Cuardrado back for the same reason.
