The College Dropout Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 36 minutes ago, sushimonster85 said: Personal hunch is that Pedro happens, Elanga doesn't. Seems both Brighton and Pedro are wanting to make a deal happen this Summer. Initial figure may be high, but should mean negotiations are a little easier. Don't see Forest wanting to sell Elanga at all. Yeh Pedro wants the move and has seemingly made enemies at the club. So the will is there. And probably means a fairer fee than other players.

Not necessarily true given we have CL money next season and they don't - and generally more commercial income. Edited June 8 by jonny1403 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 He can play on the wing as well, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 5 minutes ago, Collage said: He can play on the wing as well, right? He could play on the right but it would be an entirely different player to Murphy and it wouldn't be an orthodox winger. That said, his first touch and ability to drive into space is pretty good, from what I've seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghandis Flip-Flop Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Only played on the right a few times apparently, I do wonder if one of those was against us for Watford as I do vaguely recall him playing off that side in a game and I didn’t make a habit of watching much of Watford.

Vaj Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 I am well on board with getting this transfer done, think he would be a brilliant signing and has room to grow even more, especially playing with the likes of Isak, Bruno, Tonali and Gordon. Only concern is his discipline, but who wouldn't want a pop at Van Hecke, the man is a tosser! The attempted elbow this season is the big concern for me, couldn't believe he didn't get a big ban for that. I would love to see Pedro and Madueke as our two attacking signings, although you are getting two potentially questionable attitudes through the door.

Tbf, there’s been some real questionable moments with our other two Brazilians where they could have got a ban, Joelintons clothesline from hell for example. I can’t say I recall a level headed Brazilian in the premier league apart from maybe Allison but he’s a GK. Part and parcel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emotic Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 1 minute ago, PauloGeordio said: Ferguson's stock has fallen away too much for Chelsea I feel. In fact, he'd be quite a Newcastle signing, if we didn't already have Osula sitting on the bench most games. Apropos of all this, I have a suspicion that if we are really interested in Pedro - he'd come in as a No 10, "locksmith"-type of player in a 4-2-3-1, we would forego signing a right-sided forward, and next season would be Osula's "Lewis Hall breakthrough" season on the right.

Skeletor Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 8 hours ago, KaKa said: It says 70 million Euros, which comes out as £59 million. A fair price all in all when you add in versatility, quality and the "something different our attack doesn't have" factor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbheed Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 (edited) Anyone a bit suss that this has come out sooo early? The 2 players that have come out into the public just so happen to be the 2 players we know we've bid for in the past. Not saying we're not interested they're about the safest story any journo could go with. Edited June 8 by Thumbheed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
