There’s one main argument against signing a non-world class winger, and I think it has to do with who we already have at our disposal.

Don’t get me wrong, Pedro is a great player, but I think he’s the type of player that you sign when you really need a winger, not the type of player that you sign when you have a rotation featuring Alexis Sanchez, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Theo Walcott, Danny Welbeck, possibly Serge Gnabry, and sometimes even Aaron Ramsey.

As it stands, we already have a bench full of fantastic players, and signing a player like Pedro would only push another of the starters there.

There are some players that you could never turn down, no matter how many good options you already have, which is the argument in dealing with Vidal (despite the fact that we already have too many box-to-box midfielders).

But I don’t think Pedro fits in this category of players, so I don’t think he would be a worthwhile signing for Arsenal.
