Miguel Delaney: 我认为若昂·佩德罗的加盟提升了切尔西的实力，尽管可能不是球队最迫切需要的补强位置。他能打破防线，给球队带来活力，他能直接进入首发阵容。切尔西似乎非常热衷于球员交易，这让人怀疑他们是否只是喜欢买卖球员。为了满足财务限制，俱乐部需要不断引进和输出球员，切尔西可能将这种策略运用到了极致。切尔西似乎对签下3000万到6000万英镑的球员上瘾，这些球员不一定能保证提升球队实力，他们需要出售球员。 John Cross: 我不确定若昂·佩德罗是否会直接进入切尔西的首发阵容。我很喜欢若昂·佩德罗，我认为他是一名优秀的球员，以6000万英镑的价格签下他是一笔不错的交易，他是一名在英超证明过的球员，并且在前场非常多才多艺。若昂·佩德罗在采访中表示他最喜欢的位置是中锋，但他也可以踢左路，因为切尔西有很多前锋，他需要多才多艺才能获得上场机会。我对切尔西的问题是他们的定位是什么，最好的首发阵容是什么，切尔西是否足够团结，这对于马雷斯卡来说是个问题，他需要调整所有球员并将他们融入首发阵容。我不确定我们是否知道切尔西的最佳首发阵容，他们有很多前锋。切尔西计划以八名前锋开始这个赛季，这会导致更衣室拥挤。我希望若昂·佩德罗一切顺利，但他太优秀了，不应该被埋没。
