Lets see it was what, £115m for Caicedo, £62m for Cucurella, £25m for Robert Sanchez (Though he isnt worth 25p), plus the £16m we paid them to release Potter, and the £6m or so we paid them in compo for Potters backroom staff so all in all about £220m or thereabouts in the last 3 years. Add the £60m we are paying for Pedro and thats £280m if this deal goes through.
Ridiculous really. Hes talented but not 50m talented. His goalscoring record is pretty bad considering hes also the pen taker. The best thing about him is his workrate but thats not 50m buy. Cunha would have been much better
He’s only 23 mate. I’m so glad you bought him because I thought he was going to Newcastle and I really didn’t want that to happen. I think he’s a seriously top talent. 16 goal involvements in 27 games in a disrupted season, is good going. He’s more of a striker in the mould of Firminho. He brings everyone else into the game. Seems like a perfect fit for Maresca’s tactics.
I really hope so. You are far more optimistic than me. Hope he proves me wrong but i would have much preferred a striker like wissa or cunha (well he aint a striker) or even a bit more experience like eze, bowen or jimenez or actually mateta who i think is class (yea i know they are different). Im hoping we give delap a chance in that striker role. I have a feeling they will play pedro as the left inside forward. I suppose he is an upgrade on sancho though.
Like @Saf I think Joao Pedro is a good signing for Chelsea. Good age and playing in a better side he will get more chances. £50million doesn’t get much these days and he’s got potential. I would have happily taken him at Spurs.
