Sounds like a pretty pointless signing for where we are now.

We need a striker desperately and he fits the criteria of the kind of striker they've been looking for; young, potential and can be Wilson's understudy and ready to come in once he inevitably gets injured.

We were linked with him way back in June.

 

There was a fantastic break down of him in the Athletic around that time - https://theathletic.com/3334585/2022/05/30/watford-joao-pedro-transfer/

 

Seems a very highly rated prospect, with the added bonus that he played a fair bit in the Premier League last season, and so is aware of the demands of that.

 

Good move for our back up striker role and also has the versatility to play in the wide positions and attacking midfield. Exciting prospect.

We need a goalscorer or someone that can provide assists. He hasn’t proved he can do either so far. At least Ekitike & Ramos have proved they know where the goal is

From what I’ve seen he tends to work his bollocks off and would fit our high pressing game to a tee. Relatively low risk as a £20m Brazilian striker in the PL is a pretty saleable asset in a couple of years. Not convinced he’s going to score many though but would be willing to give him a go.

 

Sounds like that Bamba Dieng kid tbh. Not a fantastic scoring record, but probably better than his. He's powerful and presses really well.

It's obviously difficult for us to attract somebody who can be first choice because of cost (Isak for eg) but it's clearly going to also be difficult to find a young player to compete with Wilson who knows they're not going to be first choice. Obviously we know Wilson gets injured but a young player can't bank on that. Somebody like Ramos for example would be clearly first choice if he went to Wolves or Brighton. Would he be here? That will play in decision making. We're dealing with a very narrow profile and pool of players there IMO.

He's 20 and would improve, as has every player at the club since Howe has come in. We need someone who can be second to Wilson then come in once he gets injured PLUS a wide player who can provide those said goals and assists from wide areas which likely will be a player from Chelsea on loan going off the media.

Forest are seemingly signing Aouar. We're getting bids rejected for João Pedro.

 

Something is wrong here [emoji38]

 

I thought Leicester had him lined up to replace Maddison? Oh well, I guess Maddison isn't going anywhere then.
