I just think he'll be too direct and go for goal rather than looking for the pass.
Which has it's positives and it's negatives. It could disrupt Barca's possession play and put you under pressure on the counter.
we have seen his goal scoring abilities this world cup.but that should be looked upon as a bonus rather than disrupting the normal barca play.if he actually comes to barca and becomes a regular starter along with xavi,iniesta,messi,villa then to make up for pedro we may see him playing a little direct looking for goals.otherwise if he is given a rotating role with xavi/iniesta we will see him pass the ball more like they do.That's what we want from him? Goals?

He seems to do the Henry-style cut in from the wing and go to goal thing pretty well. Zlatan posting up in the center could help with that, too. When Pedro gets a whiff of the goal he goes after it just as Villa does, and Pedro works up-front pretty well. I'll go out on a limb and say Pedro finishes third in Pichichi standings.
The likely false rumour I heard was that we'd grab Ozil and trade him and cash for Cesc.
