Kid Dynamite 8069 Posted yesterday at 12:31 Share Posted yesterday at 12:31 https://x.com/mcgrathmike/status/1931318236659802519 I assume it's him OR Elanga. Because if we get both, alongside Guehi and Trafford, we are winning the league! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 15391 Posted yesterday at 13:24 Share Posted yesterday at 13:24 Pedro and Elanga would be pretty tremendous but if we got those, my natural reaction is to assume we’re losing someone important 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 8974 Posted yesterday at 13:40 Share Posted yesterday at 13:40 Does Pedro excite anyone here? We'd be paying a Premier League Premium price for someone who IMO has bafely proven himself to be worth what Brighton paid for him (£30m). He strikes me as a poorer Richarlison, a player capable of the brilliant but streaky and not assured. Elanga is also not a pure goal scorer buy he has express pace and versatility to play wide or centrally. Given we are still constrained on budget the versatility is more valuable. Pedro would only be getting substitute minutes in games where Isak is available. Elanga could earn himself a starting spot. We do need some depth up front but we'd be paying overs with Pedro who seemingly also has temperament issues. Pass. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 24516 Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago If we sign Trafford, Elanga, Pedro and Guehi, it’s been a successful window and Howe will probably be happy but you’re talking the best part of £200m because they’ve got PL experience. And it could leave us in another PSR pickle if it goes wrong and we don’t continue to qualify for CL and do big commercial deals. There’s so much better value abroad, which is what I think Mitchell was getting at with his “not fit for purpose” comment. We also need to do more deals for the likes of this Spanish kid we just signed from Malaga to loan out then either bed in or sell, as we did with Minteh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do need some depth up front but we'd be paying overs with Pedro who seemingly also has temperament issues. Pass. I like the player, yeah. Versatile who can play CF, out wide and midfield. Reckon he could thrive and fit in well with the other Brazilians. I don’t think he’s worth more than £40-50m however, let alone the rumoured £100m Brighton want for him. To answer the question, does he excite me? I’d say, not massively. At least, not compared to other options out there. But I don’t think Howe cares. When we were linked with Madison and Barnes, we ended up with Barnes, despite Madison being the more flamboyant technical player. Most of us probably would have preferred Madison, but in hindsight, did Howe get it right? I’d say for us, yeah probably. Howe’s priority, I think, is players with pace and athleticism who will buy into how he wants to play. Outstanding technical ability (Isak/Bruno) is a bonus but not the most important thing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rationale for Pedro seems to be that he will play in a front 2 against sides who set up with a low block. Dunno if there's any truth to that obviously, there's no quotes from the club to say that we're still after him, let alone how he'd fit in. Apparently he still has 2 years on his contract, and Brighton always ask for silly money, so I doubt it will happen anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 8974 Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Why do we care what your BIL think, and why is he comparing Chelsea and Forest wingers? Elanga is express pace, both footed and can play through the middle or out wide. Swedish connection. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree, but don't see how you could convince him to come here to play second fiddle. You're also right about Brighton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
