And then you consider Trafford baiting the press and hitting an accurate pass up field.. beautiful Edited Friday at 09:47 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

christ Posted Friday at 09:33 Share Posted Friday at 09:33 49 minutes ago, Sibierski said: Guess we’ll be moving more into a 4-4-2 shape out of possession which we have seen at times with Gordon when up alongside Isak. Wouldn’t be shocked if Pedro ends up in a similar role to Joelinton, as in moving more into a central midfield, but then a better player in final third. Having Pedro would open up quite a few tactical options as well as allowing us to rotate. He could work in our existing 433, gives us the opportunity to play 4231 or go two up top. I can see why he’s such an attractive signing. He solves a lot of potential problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John P Posted Friday at 09:44 Share Posted Friday at 09:44 (edited) Found this interesting from The Transfer Flow newsletter a couple of weeks ago. They took a look at some additional stats for Joao Pedro as he's a bit of a hybrid striker/attacking midfielder: Suggests that he's fairly unique as someone who both gives and receives a high amount of line-breaking passes in his position. Could really see it working with him playing just behind Isak and being the link between him and Sandro/Bruno Edited Friday at 09:45 by John P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted Friday at 09:56 Share Posted Friday at 09:56 1 hour ago, Joelinton7 said: Honestly sick of the double speak from our journalists. Advanced negations but not, closing in on a player but £10m apart. If you’ve got nothing stfu. This is a bit annoying like. Closing in with £10m apart in valuations and the player still on his hols suggests there's still a fair way to go like. I guess it just depends if you believe that line that the club is confident they can get this done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzy Posted Friday at 10:12 Share Posted Friday at 10:12 If we've bid £50M for him and Brighton "want closer to £60M" that sounds fairly reasonable. You'd hope that the difference of £6/7M could be negotiated pretty easily over the next week or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted Friday at 10:37 Share Posted Friday at 10:37 Thinking about it he makes perfect sense in terms of more of a target man and different looks formation wise. But also if we’ve played CL then have an away game or home match a few days later start this lad and we’re still looking good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
