SUPERTOON Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Watford aren’t interested in selling anyways so it’s probably a no go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that too but haven’t seen him that much TBH. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strong opinions on relatively obscure players on this place never cease to amaze. Does this theory only apply to the people that don’t like him? how many times have the people raving about him watched him play? Probably much the same.

I mean ... I can't believe it By all the metrics @The Prophet has been posting, as well as the ones from that great Athletic article on him, he's right up there in potential with all the young strikers we've been looking at, but here we go ... can't score and is no good because he didn't do so for Watford, and is now no better than Chris Wood. The Wood mark 2 comments are ridiculous, but people have seen enough of him to not rate him and not want to sign him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can play anywhere across the front line, so could be tried on the RW and also cover for Wilson up front. Sounds pretty ideal tbh considering those in the know seem to really rate him.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Why wait until Watford have just sold an attacker to make this bid, means they either won't sell or will demand silly money. It's almost as if we don't really want our bids accepted..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed to move very smoothly and quickly with the ball, and play with his head up. Not one I’d thought of but I’d be relatively happy and interested to see how he’d do. Having Bruno and Joelinton would help him as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I'll admit I haven't seen loads of him but when I saw the link my first thought was "he's meant to be quite good", then I come in here and he's Chris Wood mark 2. Funny really because Chris Wood is a 30 year old New Zealander, who's got a decent scoring record in the PL and is seen as a traditional centre forward, hold up the ball, get on the end of crosses, that type and Pedro is a 20 year old fleet footed technical type, more in the mould of Ayoze Perez? I mean I'm all for writing off a promising young Brazilian who actually got alot of experience and alot of promise but I'm not sure why? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it’s a fair point, as I said earlier I saw quite a bit of them last season and he didn’t stand out much. That’s all I can base him on though so can’t get excited about the signing.

Very few here will have, thats why writing him off instantly is just ridiculous. I understand he may not be as fashionable signing as some may like but that doesnt mean he cant be effective for us.

It's exactly the kind of versatile striker the club have been after for that backup role. Looks a really good fit for what we're after. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
