Agree to Disagree I guess, I respect your Opinion. also since Bartomeu got Reelected I guess the Gerson Transfer won't be affected at all.

Are you being serious ?
He was "successful" in winning trophies but he wasn't happy with his football .
Joe Cole should have been an legendary England footballer as he was the most naturally gifted English player since Glen Hoddle . Joe was amazing at a very poor West Ham but instead of going to Man United where'd he'd have probably flourished he went to Chelsea where guess what Jose battered out all the creativeness of him and turned him into yet another extremely hard working midfielder ( he was a born number 10 !! ) . His career was blighted with injuries as he was run into the ground . The young Joe Cole didn't throw himself into clattering tackles - that was Jose's influence .
Look Pedro was great in 'that' season ( 6 trophies )
That was years ago ..... When did Pedro do ANYTHING good in the last couple of seasons ?
He's not a starter but he's lucky to be coming on for the last 30 minutes when the other teams have been run ragged .
He should have been able to score twenty to thirty goals in the last few seasons but he couldn't hit a cows behind with a banjo at the moment .

Just because he's a BPL player and plays for Chelsea, a team led by Jose, doesn't mean he is overhyped or overrated. Tbh, the BPL bashing right now is just as annoying as the constant overhyping on their parts during their glory days.
Oscar has similar qualities as Turan, who is supposedly a great fit for Barca - namely work rate while being technically impressive with the bonus that he's a lot younger than Arda. Also in terms of off the ball movement he brings Müller or Rakitic-esque intelligence in that he is able to perfectly balance attacking runs from his teammates. Only his end product is rather inconsistent and sometimes underwhelming, but Turan's not really better either.
Then again people here claim that Arda Turan is a superior player to Arturo Vidal as well. Just
How does one compare those players? One is an attacking midfielder and the other a goalscoring winger. Doubt very much Pedro would play in Oscar's role.

Ah, so people aren't allowed to bash the PL, but you feel entitled to laugh at those who rate Arda higher than Vidal? Makes sense...
Anyhow, now that you feel compelled to suddenly compare Arda to Oscar, why leave out the facts that Arda can play on the wings and is much, much physically stronger than the Brazilian? Anyhow the comparison is completely irrelevant in any case, as we have no interest - or need for that matter - whatsoever for Oscar.
Its that i agree or disagree with that, or other comparisons. But its quite funny, after Barca bought Turan, it seems like there is going sports in comparing him with everyone and having big discussions whether he is better than one player or the other. Also, quite a few thinks he is the best midfielder in the world all of the sudden.

Turan is superior to Vidal in nearly every department...

He's no Ribery or Hazard but he's damn good. One of the best midfielders in la liga and helped Atletico win the number one ranked league with an underdog team.
This is gonna sound dumb but putting things in numbers make it easy to understand what I think of the players. If I had to Arda a rating on fifa it would be 84, Oscar about 82. While someone like Hazard would be 87.

They are totally different players with different skill sets. That's like saying "Ramos is better than Rakitic".
