João Pedro

I’m sure that Delap is looking forward to a year on the bench. 

[The Prophet]

Ah, going to be one of those threads is it?

[Kanj]

Just comical that people banged on about his shooting ability and he's scored 2 bangers today

Listen. I know Ive bumped it twice this evening because of his two goals, but that's purely because there's no other football on and there's nothing worth watching on the telly. If it ends up like the Minteh thread it won't be because of me, I won't give a hoot once the season starts.

 

Just thought I'd let you know and clear the air.

2nd goal was comical defending tbh

[The College Dropout]

Ahhh Fluuuuuu

[Erikse]

As long as Chelsea was in for him, there was no hope.

Against a 44 year old goalkeeper in a SELA cup equivalent.

[Ketsbaia]

Quite the achievement, beating some part-timers and pensioners on the way to a final

TBH he will start as a 9 for Chelsea, would have just been Isak's sidekick or back up at Newcastle.

Get this thread locked man.

Now that he's a mercenary cunt I hope he goes down for noncing.

[McCormick]

I’d have hoped if he’s been noncing he goes down regardless, but that’s me. Ask any of my friends and they’ll tell you; to a fault, I’ve always been anti-noncing.

The funny irony is that someone like Pedro coming in and bossing it (though it's only been one game) just guarantees their squad harmony and balance gets screwed, as it pushes the 47 other players in his position down the pecking order and out of the XI.

 

Or maybe that's just copium.

[Stottie]

If he proves to be really good, can we slag off Brighton for not getting many open play goals out of him?

I don't think their onpitch stuff is as good as their recruitment.

[Stottie]

Captain Copium here, but Pedro never scored outside the box for Brighton in 29 attempts. Even in the box, he only scored once on the left side when positioned outside the near post, something he's just done twice in one match. Maybe some ex-player voodoo thing at play against the Brazilians.

Interesting. We were never going to sign him, he always wanted London and Chelsea. Surely we should of backed off much earlier, was a waste of time. 

[Menace]

I swear noncing must be mentioned on this forum a good 100 times a day, it's starting to feel every bit like Twitter now days 

[duo]

Just that one game out nearly 22mil into Chelsea pockets- ridiculous 

[Wallsendmag]

Good finishes but we've got to put it into perspective here. He was up against 41 year old Thiago Silva.

 

His trick appears to be cutting in from the left, putting it into his right and then hitting it. Premier League defenders don't allow him the space or the time every week to do that.

 

Bakayoko at PSV the same but in reverse. Likes to cut on from the right and shoot with his left but that's literally all he's got. Once defenders sussed him out he was nowhere near effective to the point where he was dropped by PSV midway through last season.
