Because Chelsea didn't want him

He’s a slightly above average premier league winger. 60m is a unhedged full send on his upside. We have money but we cannot afford to miss like that.

He’s nailed on to score the 94th winner against us in next seasons FA cup final

They're never out the running…

Ffs even Sunderland are managing to sign players

We need some versatile players in there. A winger/forward, attacking midfielder/winger, attacking midfielder/forward. Loads of players can play more than 1 position. Christ I'd imagine if we had another good left back Lewis Hall would be a far better shout in midfield than any of our bench. Hopefully Miley comes on, but dont see it without a loan where he makes himself their top midifelder.

Good to hear Way more talented than Pedro imo, he's insane at dribbling and has a great shot on him. Though not sure if he's be as good out of possession, and will cost a fair bit more I think? Might be the next player I starting willing to sign 😂

Last week https://www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11668/13390267/joao-pedro-transfer-news-chelsea-agree-deal-to-sign-brighton-striker-with-brazilian-set-to-join-club-world-cup-squad

18:32 but everyone was watching The Chase.

Sneaky bid for Kudas now seemingly Chelsea would be out of the running? (Even they can’t sign another attacking player now, can they?)

When did we bid?

Look forward to never hearing of him ever again

The quicker we get a good DoF in the better - one who Howe can actually work with.

Reading some Brighton fans opinions on him, apparently he only really delivers in the ten position. Definitely feels like change in shape could be on the cards at some point.

Makes sense from Brighton’s perspective - not from ours. We were bidding after the press had clearly been briefed by his reps that he wanted to be in London. Borderline amateurish to be frank.

My feeling is this was a smokescreen to get Chelsea to bite.

Sling it in the punchable faces thread.

The absolute irony is, if the thi k fucks managing them have kept the existing squad and invested in a decent striker and manager, they'd have invested sensibly. Instead they've spunked a load of coin on players that'll be in the reserves in a year or so

Nee bother. Depending on direction, it’s one I think I could see them going down. More Tino/Hall polishers than ready baked Pedro/Mbeumo types.

Alright, Pards.

Exactly. Another whole week before training starts, and even then it won’t be mid July until everyone is back. Past that I’ll be concerned if we haven’t brought more than Trafford in.

The concern for me is that we seem to once again to be failing to do due diligence. Everyone and his granny seemed to be aware that the lad wanted to be in London except for our transfer team. Not a good look.

From everything I've read we fucked him over a bit the first time. Everything was ready to go and then Wilson got injured and we bailed last minute and pivoted to Isak. Probably should have signed them both in hindsight. Anyway, his whole getting suspended by his club for fighting with a team mate, swinging elbows at people schtick does make him feel like more of a Chelsea player so on to he next one. Then when Chelsea sign him, on the the next one. Eventually they won't notice when we bid for someone.

Nope, sorry.
