Oh and what was the decision oh great one?

Pedro is not a fringe player.

That's not the discussion, that's the stupid Rolo-esque argument

No, it shows how dumb you're being. At I guess, I imagine a Barca fringe player would be perhaps someone like Bojan, Jeffren, or Adriano. Will start games when the squad is rotated, and that's about it.

Yes, fringe players are like Bojan, Jeffren, Adriano, Mascherano, Keita, etc. Those are players who don't typically start matches and come on later in the game. They rotate between the bench and the field. Pedro however, starts pretty much every fucking match and cannot be called a fringe player.

That's wha I've been saying. Put it this way, at Man Utd it's players like Macheda, Owen, Evans, Fabio etc...
It's players you'd commonly call "the kids"

Say what?

How do you know that he would be good? It's a question of two halves......tbh I'm just being the Devil's advocate....trying to prove either point is redundant as until Pedro moves (if he ever does) and proves that he isn't good just because of Barcelona or that he is actually good whatever the team.....we will never know.

I base my view of Pedro's talent by what's currently going on. Right now he is excelling with the Barca team. Going by what he does right now, he could excel in a team like Arsenal too. I think his style is perfect for them as well.

Claiming that Pedro cannot make it at Arsenal simply because he hasn't been playing at any other club is baseless at the least. If you don't think Pedro can make it, fine. But why not use reasons based on his playing style or talent?

Yes Arsenal are shit.

Happy now? Done sucking Pedro's dick? Good.

Nobody is claiming that Arsenal is shit, so grow the fuck up. When you have people claiming the following, all you can do is laugh...

"Pedro can not win a game on his own, Pedro can not find killer passes, Pedro can not make something out of nothing, Pedro can not score take 4 shots at goal and score on each occasion, I can go on."

Pedro is a good player, if you think he's better than Arshavin fair enough.

Why don't you leave it at that?

What do you mean grow up.. you're the one arguing like a little bitch.

I'm actually trying to have a sensible argument and provide my views. Yet because I'm arguing you act like I'm calling Arsenal a shit team and I'm sucking Pedro's dick.

You are sucking Pedro's dick.

*gobble* *gobble*

Owen is like 30?

I know, most of our fringe players are kids

EDIT: for the reporter's benefit, note I said "commonly". Not all of our fringe players are kids

I never actually said Pedro wouldn't make it. If I'm not basing it on his playing style or talent then who knows what I've been basing my opinion on. He likes Avocados so he won't make it..?...er tbh I think it's quite obvious I'm basing it on his talent, ability and playing style.

He "could excel" in a like Arsenal. That's the point.......it's not a fact in the same way that Messi WOULD excel at Arsenal....so people need to stop saying Pedro WOULD or WOULDN'T because it's not that black or white at all.

End of the day Lux, you're wrong. Not so much in the fact of what you're just how your saying it. I'm sorry but people don't suddenly have to follow Lux's definition and Lux's meanings, thats fucking ridiculous. You called a Barcelona player a fringe player when he isn't. You then decided to make up your own definitions and meanings and then saying to people '' Don't like it, fine '' What the fuck is that all about.

It's a discussion board, everyone wants to discuss the matter. So can't we do it as fairly as possible and stick to real definition's and meanings? Not fucking Lux's made up dictionary.

I don't blame the lads in here at all for saying you're wrong and arguing the matter. You've just had a mare son, and have got yourself in a right pickle and because you don't want to admit you're wrong because your that ignorant, you'll do anythink you can to make it look like you're not wrong.

Laughed at that, reminds me of the type of thing I'd say in real life.

I'll still stay at what I said, Pedro Leon would walk into any side.

Don't wanna rest
I don't wanna breathe
When I wanna hear about life
Don't wanna hear a spokesman
I don't wanna test
I want to believe
The god damn singer wrote the song
Don't wanna hear a spokesman

Although Dean, "mare" is a shortened version of nightmare, so it need an apostrophe in front

Firstly...the irony.

Secondly, there's no one definition of a fringe player....care to call up the dudes who do the Dictionaries and ask for an exclusive definition? They probably won't give you any. I don't really give a shit what you want to believe it means.....in the end I've not JUST said fringe player.....I've said fringe player of the XI. That changes the context and if somehow in your little brains you cannot comprehend that a player cannot be a fringe player in the sense that he is on the bench and plays when there is rotation when the XI does not take into consideration any subs because the XI is the players just on the pitch then I feel sorry for you.

If you're going to try and be clever...at least do it right.

Ok the fucking dictionary police.

Basically Lux, he hit the nail on the he's with "you've had a 'mare". Get over it mate

Me and Ahly have already said the kind of Barca players you'd class as fringe ones, because they don't get that many starts.

:troll:

That's kind of the point Lux. It's called "XI" for a reason. It means starting 11. Subs are not considered part of the XI of a team.

If they don't get many starts then they can hardly be fringe players of the XI can they?

Exactly.....that is the point...and that is why the players on the bench are not fringe players of the XI.

Be my guest to discuss between yourselves the fringe players on the bench...but I have never talked about them so directing that towards me is irrelevant.

As I've said a thousand times by now...if my specific wording does not satisfy you then conjure up another word for a player who is one of fringe of the starting XI.

I really don't know what the point of this whole argument is.

Unfortunately for you your inability to respond with a proper post was not saved by showing a picture of me. Did you really think I'd post that picture if I cared how people would judge me?

Probably thinks it wasnt worthy of a proper come back, and well.. It wasn't

Lux, you are simply trying to avoid something. The following is your first post to the whole argument...

Luxz0rz wrote:Pedro is a fringe player who wouldn't be anything special if he wasn't at Barcelona.

I don't see any mention of "fringe of the starting XI". No, you simply said he is a fringe player. To everyone that means he is a fringe player of the first team squad, not the starting XI. And then you went on to say he isn't anything special, which is a whole different thing.
