Part of the excitement with signing João Pedro for me was really with what level Howe could get him to, and the influence Joelinton and Bruno would have on him as fellow countrymen that are consummate professionals.

 

I just can't see him pushing on and developing into his full potential at Chelsea, as they just don't function that way, and so I can't help but feel it will be his loss.

 

The Chelsea lot aren't even excited about the signing, and so the pressure will be on from the outset too. Will watch on in glee if it all goes left.

 

Let's see where we go next. It's really somewhat of a relief these decisions are being made in June so we haven't been strung along all summer.

 

 

 

 

Which will be twice the level that cuck Maresca could get him to.

 

Eddie made Joelinton a Brazilian international

Disappointed as I was intrigued to what Howe had in mind with Pedro (like developing him to take over Joelinton), but on a pure place in team for value, not upset. Far better value out there and we’ve missed on him before and it didn’t hurt us.

You have to remember we only know what journalists tell us. Don’t forget the same journalists were telling us Pedro was a done deal last time all while we were working on a deal for Isak. 

True. I hope we’re being cleverer than we look. Going after a player with a question character who seemingly never wanted to come here doesn’t exactly scream that they have much of an idea at the moment.

Saturday 20th December at St James park.......Big Joe, you know what to do.

Was trying to work it out. Probably about a quarter of a billion on caicedo cucurella sanchez pedo 

Brighton probably paid about £2.50 all in for them

Genuinely is a feeder club model. If I was a fan of Brighton I’d be absolutely sick to fuck of it. Who cares about making money if you’re not actually seeing gains season after season. The only way to succeed as a club is to have a fair amount of stability in the squad. It’s not possible to win things if you sell your best players every year or two. Fucking joke of a club the way it’s basically just a financial game to Bloom

Don't forget all the off field staff they have paid Brighton top dollar for. 

Potter is the obvious one but they've also poached coaches, scouts and sporting directors. 

Getting to the point where it would have been cheaper to actually buy the club and just leave Bloom in place to run it fir them.

Ugh. Another clown joining the Chelsea circus. Won’t be the last, unfortunately.

 

Petty part of me wants nothing but the worst for his career now. Just hope plan b is someone as good.

Scenes when Ryder comes back from collecting his regular Sunday Chinese (chips with curry sauce and an omelette) order and posts his update claiming Pedro is on his way to Newcastle now to sign for us.

Maresca won't improve him at all, he won't even be playing

Sounds like Brighton got a juicy sell on too.

Not going to be smart of us I hear, when we’re back in for him in 2026

Looks like he'll get rid of Jackson and Nkunku, does that make them worse ?

Yea, we were never going to pay £60m. 
 

Feels £50m is our top end.

Might be cutting our nose off to spite our face but if the player shows any interest at all in Chelsea I'd be telling them to fuck off and enjoy whatever the fuck happens to them there. 

 

Yeah, fuck him. Enjoy being yet another PL player whose name won't be remembered.

Finally trumped us for Bas Dost.

Mate is a die hard Brighton fan and even before the Chelsea link he was saying Pedro isn’t even a top 3 player at Brighton. He’s great as a second striker and creating space but isn’t really clinical himself. 
 

Don’t think he really be a miss at Brighton
