Pedro Rodriguez

Pedrito needs some love in here.

That were assists to a pure striker. Giving assists to trequartista is harder because he arrives in the box lately.

How is it harder? Tello also plays with Messi, the best goal scorer in history.

Btw, Tello was 21-22 this season, Messi had 17 assists in 08-09.

 

[Semi-Neutral]

Why are we comparing Messi and Tello anyway? If Tello is even half as good as Messi he is already an incredible player, reaching Messi-like statistics is simply ridiculous.

 

[Co0ter]

I will take Tello any day of the week over Pedro. All Pedro ever had going for him was his workrate and the fact that he'd put himself in position to score a decent amount of goals. The latter has been missing for over two seasons, so....

Tello and Neymar are both 21 and already much more of a threat on the wing than Pedro ever was. We need wingers that have confidence and the pace to take on defenders, without it teams just stay compact in the middle and triple coverage Messi- which made it simple for big teams with good defenders to shut us down.

Cmon he's got time to improve his passing. The experience also will make him better. Messi at 20-21 also wasn't a great passer but he had good speed with dribling and finishing (what a coincidence)

Messi at 20-21 was a phenomenal passer of the ball and in a completely different league to Tello.

 

[Semi-Neutral]

Messi at 20-21 was a phenomenal player and in a completely different league than anyone at 20-21.

Fixed it for you.

Seriously though, there's nobody out there who was as good at Messi at his age.

I agree so it is strange when people try and big up players like Tello by comparing them to Messi at that age.

 

[El Anti-Galactico]

Selling Pedro doesn't make sense to me unless we keep Villa/Bojan. I think we are set up front right now. Need to focus on keeping the midfield together and signing some defenders.

 

[Boris]

Sell him and buy Reus. Or sell him and give some cash and take Silva .

 

[Armando929]

He'll not be sold because he's a canterano. But I would keep Villa and Alexis over him. Pedro doesnt offer us anything but endless running and the ocassional goal.

 

[Cruijffista]

I wonder how much PSG is offering. I think he would be a good fit with PSG actually.

Pedro would be a good fit in almost any team he plays... However, he should be used properly, meaning that he should be used as an attacker and as not someone to cover up others' mistakes...

His drop in form is undeniable, but also his delivered tactical isolation in attack...

 

[ryuken]

Is my dream coming true?

 

[Stric]

Pedro looking really good today. Finally some runs into the middle from our wide attackers. I like how we're playing. Did it really take Tito 38 rounds to figure this stuff out?
