[Albion] Joao Pedro Brazilian Maestro

If any of this is true then if Pedro then wants it , chances are it happens.

Losing him and Gross this summer would be flucking schit

I really would like to see us keep our top players for two years before cashing in. It would give us overlap from year to year and might allow us to really have a go with the big boys. It could also increase their value further if all went well.

Losing him and Gross this summer would be a tad off putting.

I think you can sleep easy.

The source is extremely poor despite the BBC gossip column picking it up.

The article is poorly written and points to the possibility that Pedro’s name was mentioned as a possible target for Arsenal. In reality, I suspect all the Big Six have Pedro on their radars. One will go after him eventually but with the sort of money Arsenal spent on Rice last year (and a bunch of other players) I have absolutely no concern that they are coming after him this summer.

Arsenal will take Toney instead on the 31st August, the date they believe he’ll be at his cheapest due to his contract running out in 10 months.

Precisely. Terrible source.
Plus Toney is potentially available for £20-30m, late in the window. The big 6 know that Pedro would be a very expensive option due to his contractual situation.
Plus from our perspective, why sell now?
Better to keep him for at least another season. Keep him fit and if he scores 20 goals he’ll be a £100m player.

Because its easy to score from penalties and difficult to score elsewhere. Graham Alexander is one of the GOAT penalty takers of all time but that didn't make him a top PL striker.

What does your emotions have to do with this deal being "ridiculous" or not? Neither Arsenal or Tony are going to give a shit about that when negotiating a transfer.

If we did sell him for £50mill who would you replace him with that warrants an upgrade and doesn't break the bank?

Good question, didn't really have any real look at Brighton-compatible strikers this summer as I assumed none would be signed. Lets look at it if this transfer rumour turns a bit more meaty.

..is the correct question and the obvious reason why we'd never sell him for even double that.
