I wasn’t that bothered about Pedro last summer but now I’m sold on him. He’s got athleticism and skills, he’s versatile, he’s achieved a lot for someone so young, and he seems like a good character.
We’re not signing Rice. We need around half a dozen quality players, including around 3 first teamers. Even if we could sign him, you could probably get Thuram/Ugarte, Pedro, and a good left back for what he would cost.
