So cool and calm at everything he does Don't think it was one or the other necessarily. Think we'll still see a move for Pedro this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Gorgeous, its the planting foot that sort of rolls a bit that makes it even more beautiful. Like proper perfect technique. He’s that same type of Henry, Eto’o mould striker. He can do it all and if he stays fit more often than not he will score goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 It's the type of finish you see them do in training and think "why can't you do it in a game ?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminded me of what Wayne Rooney etc. would do against us and you'd think "ferk it, they've got better players". We now have class in black and white again.

cubaricho Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 11 hours ago, The Prophet said: Not a number nine apparently. To be fair, he’s way better when he’s not just a number nine. Watching him move around the pitch he’s not that traditional forward. He’s the future forward. Intelligent. Can move with the ball. Can pass the ball. Brings everyone into play without it being his back his goal. Etc. We’ve struck gold 1000%. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Aye it's crazy to think we've probably got him on the cheap His numbers for last season were underwhelming but there were underlying reasons for that and it's class the scouts at the club recognised that Based on what we've seen so far and knowing he will still get better as he gets used to the league he's easily a £100m+ player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) Imagine if this lad had been fit all season... First striker we've had in a long time who really can have 20 goal seasons. Edited April 9, 2023 by Karjala Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, they had faith in their assessment of him and the poor season just brought his price down to a level we could do business. Could genuinely be a pivotal moment for the club.

However, if we’d signed Ekitike we wouldn’t have Isak imo. Pedro and Ekitike were to be understudies for Callum Wilson, that are able to play in other positions. Once Callum Wilson then got injured yet again early on, they decided we needed a legit Premier League first team striker, with Wilson then being more of a secondary option. It was the right move. Pedro and Ekitike were longer term squad/developmental players to grow into the first team. With us now making Europe and having a ton more games next season, I expect we will go back in for Pedro as Wilson is getting on and will continue to get injured, and so we will need more than two options upfront.

Cronky Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 An amazing strike. It was like a golf shot, where the trajectory of the ball is exactly where the golfer intended. Except that that the ball was moving and the player didn't have a minute and a half to prepare himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
