cms186 Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 his release clause wasnt met, given that it was a foreign club, Chelsea would have had to give Pedro the money (and Pedro would then have to pay tax on it, so the fee would have increased by 50% or so) so the player could buy out his contract. Chelsea may have paid a fee equal to his clause, but Barca didnt have to accept it and im sure they could have told him "We cant replace you this summer, you dont mind hanging on 6-12 months before you go, do you?"

Tony85 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 6 out of 11? what a weird stat. he has taken around 50 in his career probably? He's supposedly missed 14 in his career and if he's taken around 50 now, that's sounds like a pretty poor record for a penalty taker. Surely should be time for someone else to be given a chance?

Crazy_T Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 his release clause wasnt met, given that it was a foreign club, Chelsea would have had to give Pedro the money (and Pedro would then have to pay tax on it, so the fee would have increased by 50% or so) so the player could buy out his contract. Chelsea may have paid a fee equal to his clause, but Barca didnt have to accept it and im sure they could have told him "We cant replace you this summer, you dont mind hanging on 6-12 months before you go, do you?" his buyout clause was met, but that's not really the important part ultimately. his clause was reduced to €30m on agreement between pedro and barcelona after pedro said he wanted to leave to get regular football. luis enrique allowed it, barcelona were happy with it. chelsea paid €27m + €3m variables with no tax implications necessary.

seb_lesnar Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Pedro was never going to challenge Neymar, Messi or Suarez for a starting spot, and his minutes on the pitch would be better spent on the development of the likes of Sandro, Rafinha and Munir. Plus, Arda and Aleix Vidal are going to be available in January (when the critical part of the season starts) and Adama/Denis Suarez/Deulofeu might return next season. His performances were going downhill and he was pushing back Barcelona's youngesters, i think his exit was the best for both sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubenJ Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 "critical part of the season" is only in your mind though. The league is won over the entire season. Like the 2 point gap with real madrid from the first round now id just as crucial as any point gain in the final round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
seb_lesnar Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Of course it is, but La Copa del Rey starts in december, the Club World Cup in January and UCL's knockout stage in mid-february. That's where the crucial start of the season starts. Ask Real Madrid about if you're still unsure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
