The Daily Mail's back page the day after the announcement of Pedro to Chelsea was: 'Jose's steal.'
That was because Jose Mourinho had talked Pedro into turning down Louis van Gaal's Manchester United to join him in London for £21million. It was seen as a grand statement signing, as The Guardian said. Also a coup, according to The Telegraph.
Pedro was a key cog in possibly the greatest football team of all time – Pep Guaridola's Barcelona. He scored in the Champions League final against United in 2011 and won 20 trophies overall. Now, Chelsea had him.
