Is Pedro a Replacement For Moses?

Chealse's slow start to the season has proved to be the accelerant to a flurry of transfer activity within the last few days.
First, the transfer of Abdul Rahman Baba from Augsburg was confirmed immediately following the clobbering at Manchester City (from the club’s perspective, the timing could hardly have been worse). Following that, came the announcement of Spain international Pedro Rodriguez as a Blue.
Quite apart from the drama surrounding Manchester United’s protracted negotiations for the forward – the image evoked is of the perplexed groom at the altar, and a bride bounding through the streets in silk to a sultry lover – Chelsea have acquired a champion in every sense. Pedro has won every accolade available in football, except the heart of Luis Enrique; now, it is Jose Mourinho’s jigsaw he seeks to complete.
The Nigeria international could have been forgiven for thinking a cloudy spell at Stamford Bridge was starting to part. Having spent last season on loan – and impressing – at Stoke City, it appeared he had earned an audition under the watchful eyes of the Chelsea management.
He seized the chance with open arms, starring during the Blues’ preseason tour of the USA and, even more remarkable, pleasing his notoriously surly boss.
“Victor is strong, he is experienced,” Mourinho gushed, “he is fast, he is aggressive. He needs to learn to play with us obviously, but I am happy [with him].”
