Chelsea is apparently going to move for Richarlison in the summer, despite his dip in form lately. He plays exactly the same position as Pedro. Pedro is already 4th choice now, behind Hazard, Willian and Fabregas (when he plays higher up). Barkley is also there and will play next year. Pedro won't want just 400 minutes of playing time the entire season. His contract is up in 2019, so they'll probably capitalize and not ask for an enormous sum of money. Probably not that interested in coming to Palace, but I think he's outside the plans of teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid or the top 6 in England once he leaves Chelsea. That could only mean teams with tradition like Everton or West Ham could snatch him. A finish in the top 10 could make Crystal Palace a competitor, why not? Salaries in England are higher than what Rome or Inter Milan offer in the Serie A. I, for one, highly appreciate his type of player. Not extremely gifted with the ball, but always running and pressing and fighting. It's what made him and Schurrle and Thomas Muller and Heong Min Son and others have great victories and success at the highest level. So, you all know him, what do you think?

never say never, hugely doubtful, but id love him, so exciting to watch. sadly think the only chance is if we sell Wilf, clubs like palace don't have players like Pedro and Zaha, they have Pedro or Zaha.

His minutes went down a lot this year as Chelsea used Willian and Fabregas more. i think that could cost them a top 4 spot I'd love to see us try out a formation with a player like him and Zaha playing inside forwards behind Benteke/Wickham with PVA and Townsend as wing backs. McArthur might bring the goal threat there but lacks the passing ability

What other players like Pedro did Stoke sign? Up front they were relying on old man Crouch, young flop Berahino, young Egyptian they hoped would grow Sobhi and Mame Diouf, who had been at the club for ages. In my opinion, they should have brought in many more acomplished players up front. Oh, you meant Jese. Well, he hardly played for them (just 600 minutes, with 1 goal and 1 assist) and wasn't fit when he did. Not compared to Pedro's situation, who has always been fit, never had any weight problems and always runs from one box to another.

Wouldn't sign, expensive, big wages and getting on a bit. Would rather we go for someone like ademola lookman. Young, skilful and pacey with a good resale value. Antonio and possibly Oliver Burke would be better value and possibly fit in more.

Would want 1st team football. With Townsend and Zaha he won't come to sit on our bench. Plus his wages will be massive at Chelsea.
