But it's true na. He is finished. His heroics are in the past now, though not forgotten. Let's live in the present, face facts and be realistic. Pedro should join Xavi on the exit route and not wait till fans start booing him

honeric01:

I even believe Deulofeu and Dennis are likely to be useful to the team than that wasteful bench warmer of a Pedro guy that cant change the direction of any game.

honeric01:

Choi..so you still dey?
wow..
abeg hit me up man!

philfearon:

The same way Pique and Iniesta were booed I guess cuz they had some bad stints? The same way everyone wanted Alves out but he is our Darling again now?
How about Supporting him like Pique and Iniesta,even Valdez was did?

honeric01:


Ikay Gundogan cant fit that Xavi position lailia..hes more like a 4 to me.

Report: Marc Bartra Available for Cut-Price €10 Million Due To "Thiago Clause"

I guess we all know the 'Thiago clause' - If the player doesn't get enough minutes, he will be sold for a price lower than his buyout clause!


I'm 100% sure he won't leave, Which sensible player will leave a club after winning a treble and will win the sextuplet at the beginning of next season?

homesteady:


He can also play 4, but he is not!
Dortmund use a double pivot like Chelsea - They have their Matic and he is their Fabregas!

khanye:


Pedro might leave and Vietto will come in. Pedro is a Super Sub tho.
Deulofeu should go out on loan again next season, he's not been playing for Sevilla recently.
Denis Suarez should replace Sergi Roberto (Loan).



I dey bro, I go Holla u for FB!

philfearon:

This is harsh bro..Pedro may have lost form,but saying he can't change the direction of any game is an insult bro..Don't forget Pedro's heroic for our Darling club so soon!

dmcdad:

I don't think that news is corect. From what I read, he already played games above the minimum number of games. It was said that he needed to play 50 games in 2 seasons to maintain his buy-out clause (at €25m), and now he has played 54 games already. So, I no know where you read that one ooooo.

honeric01:


Sergio Roberto and Suarez plays similar position?

Suarez is more of an attacking midfielder, sucks at defending more Roberto is more defensive.

Pedro and super sub shouldn't be in the same sentence..i am yet to see any game pedro changed from the bench lol.

Alright bro..

honeric01:


If hes their Fabregas, then who would Mity and reus be for dortmund?

Xavi does not even play as 4 for us, has never played 4 for us so they shouldnt be compared.. maybe Reus or Mitty can replace Xavi but not Gundogan.

dmcdad:

Pedro super-sub keh... Joke of the day!

homesteady:


This was their formation when they played Madrid
[img]http://thisis424.files./2013/04/300413181535.png?w=674&h=876[/img]
He is the player in charge of their possession battle! He plays the same role Fabregas and Modric play in their various teams!


Reus is a winger / attacking midfielder, he doesn't have any Xavi attribute in him! He is more like iniesta! Same as Mitty!

dmcdad:

Pedro super-sub keh... Joke of the day!

What you people are doing is not good oh

Have you people forgotten during our last Sociedad match, when he was just subbed in and scored a beautiful goal that finally settled the match?

honeric01:


Meaning they use 2 Iniesta at a go?

And where does Kagawa play?

Gundogan is like a Yaya to them bro.

He cant do the job of a Xavi IMO so i dont see him fitting into Xavi's position.

sebod:

I doubt if we can ever see any player that would fit in perfectly into Xavi's shoes.we can only get a replacement that would come with his own idea. Xavi is Xavi and can't ever be equalled.

The most important qualities a playmaker can have are playmaking vision and technical skill in the form of a soft first touch, close dribbling control and passing ability over short and long distances.
Gundogan possesses all of these and not only use such skills when he forays into attack but has adapted them for use even deep in his own half.
With all of the skill of a creative player at the edge of the opposing penalty area, Gundogan can receive a pass in his own half with a quick turn away from a defender. Like an attacker moving the ball up the wing to cross, Gundogan can reliably dribble from the edge of his penalty box and transition play into attack.
The key adaptation Gundogan has made is to discern when the simple option is best and when the spectacular is not too great a risk.
Gundogan's primary role at BVB is as a distributor, and as one would expect from a playmaker, he's a very skilled passer with both feet.
Although Dortmund's playing style emphasizes advancing the ball as quickly as possible and playing daring passes forward, Gundogan's 87 percent pass completion rate in the Bundesliga last season was his team's best and is suggestive of a player from a possession-first team—especially given that it came with him averaging a lengthy 20 meters per pass.
Although Gundogan's greatest skills are in his passing, he is far from deficient without the ball. He is very sturdy at 5'11", 174 pounds and, under
Klopp, has developed a relentless engine so typical of Dortmund players.
He excels in tight situations, pressing to win back possession and, when he does, using his body to shield the ball and his technical skills to transition play from defense to attack. It's this combination of abilities that saw him perform head and shoulders over the likes of Yaya Toure and Xabi Alonso in the Champions League last season.

dmcdad:

He is lucky he ain't a Madrid player else The Bernabeu would have been whistling him for the oast 2 seasons. But Barca fans are considerate. But then, make him use him sense just comot. Afterall, no be must say all La Masia graduates go end their careers for Barca.

honeric01:


I aint saying he isnt a player but not fit for a team like Barca for like 2 seasons now..

Hes had his time with us buti believe he shouldnt be kept again..he should go elsewhere...

the hunger is no longer there..

homesteady:


Reus plays mostly from the wing!
Kagawa should also be an attacking midfielder!

Yaya is a box to box midfielder!

If barcelona were using the 4-2-3-1 formation, Xavi will play the same position that Ilkay plays!

Ilkay is a proper holding midfielder! Barcelona lacks one now, thats why whenever any team is playing with too much pressure against us, Enrique brings in Xavi, because he knows Iniesta is not a real holding midfielder!

philfearon:

The last time I checked,he secured our Win against Real Sociedad with a marvelous overhead kick! ...
Pedro might be underperforming, but I don't believe we have anybody in our ranks who will perform better and who will be willing to have a secondary role....

barackohandso:


That's why I said we should face the present. Pedro has been under-performing for 3 seasons now and not until last season (when we got Neymar) and this season did we get his full replacement. As a matter of fact we're still supporting him, that's why he's still a Barca player, even Pep (in his last season) had wanted to sell him. If we had a better replacement for Alves when he was playing poorly, we would have used him. Pedro is a Barca hero though #respect

honeric01:


Just like Pius Ikedia.

Pedro is no super sub bro.
