Emotic Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Signing him on top of Isak would make sense now, given that Wilson has just broken down within his first three games. I'd be looking to transition Wilson out as a primary striker starting this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I imagine the plan was to sign Isak next summer and we just moved it forward once the Wilson injury happened and our lot came to realize that he is never gonna be dependable. If so, surely Pedro and Isak being in the same squad eventually was the plan so not sure I see why this would be off unless there really is a cash flow or FFP worry. Part of me expects us to just absolutely drop trou and sign Isak, Pedro, Paqueta and Diaby over the next week and just fucking yao face the whole thing. Bruno Paqueta Joelinton Diaby ASM Isak That as the eventual first choice midfield would be the fucking tits. Wilson, Pedro, Almiron and Willock as the non-useless reserves. Fuck it, let's live a little Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahoneys Tache Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I think Willock is going to develop into a great player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame, as I really really like JP. Looking at Whoscored, Isak played mainly as a CF. Pedro seems more from the left? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Everything I've seen from Joao Pedro, from watching one match, his highlights, and reading tons of Watford fans comments, he's not a CF and doesn't really play there. Transfermarket says otherwise, but it must be wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Would think he can play either the 10 or the right spot in a 4 2 3 1. Bruno with a proper DM next to him. Bob’s your uncle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very similar to Isak though in that’s he’s not a typical no. 9 and can be deployed anywhere across the front 3. Hope I’m wrong but they seem too similar for us to be getting both.

Yorkie Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Quite funny if we get Isak and Pedro. Eight months ago our only available striker was Dwight Gayle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Would it fair to assume it would be Pedro OR Paqueta? Seem like they are both 8/10/False 9. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mansour Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I do not believe that we were in for both of them. Wilson's injury made us reconsider our options. I hope we still go for him since we already agreed on pretty much everything though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 It makes no sense really, but since we've got Isak in the bag, I want this one even more. Imagine two of these types running at defences! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mansour Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Isak's arrival will not change much, as we now still need a backup centre forward. It is a matter of how much we are willing to pay for Pedro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Hate to use this term as it reminds me of the summer I spent in Toronto with some white stoner mates but: ASM, Isak and Pedro would be such a baller front 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, as if we don’t sign him we are back in the position of having Wood as our only back up striker, for the next month anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I think Pedro deal might be on ice now. We have a centre forward - so pressure isn't on. But he's a potential wide option too due to versatility - so we might pull the trigger still if other wide options don't materialise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I wonder whether we might go for a winger who’s more of a winger now, rather than a wide forward like Joao Pedro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Think the deal if off and we might be looking for a loan for a more out and out winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 My guess is the club are waiting for another club to agree a fee for Paqueta and establish basic demands and if it’s doable then we go for him over Pedro late in the window and don’t get rinsed with the Newcastle tax and for once become the hijackers. If However Lyon stick to the £50m fee and we think it’s not good value then we will go for Pedro gambling that he’s not gone elsewhere as Watford ideally want straight £30m rather than £25+5m. That’s the way I see the plates spinning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Perhaps a loan with an obligation to buy for £30m. I’d imagine the Isak deal has changed the situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
