[Albion] How much is Joao Pedro worth?

[Greg Bobkin]

Glad to see he is playing better, seems happier and has cut out that flapping thing with his arms to 'encourage' the crowd.

Fantastic effort to get the move started for the winner yesterday, when he was clearly out on his feet.

 

[Birdie Boy]

Since he has got back in the team he is not paying so deep. And paying so much better. I hate it when strikers play so deep, they're never going to score from the half way line. Even Rooney and Kane tried and failed to do it.

 

[Insel affe]

No more than the £30m we paid for him, probably less now

Am I right in thinking you advise folks on money matters for a living.....

I absolutely agree. Even when Welbeck came on, he was holding the centre ground as Welbeck drifted around him. He’s much, much better at it and looks far more threatening - and interested!

It could be tactical, or it could be simply a few games off to reflect and assess his role in the attacking phases.

Either way, he’s been rather good since he was back after a poor little run of form.

I set myself up for that lol

I wouldn't say I like Pedro but I have the home, the away and EL shirts with his name and number on. Plus I have a framed signed shirt of his hanging up in the house!

On the fence then…

His goal against Marseille at the Amex is in my top three all time Brighton moments.

 

[um bongo molongo]

I couldn’t work out if he was just knackered or injured yesterday?

(And for once this would not be a question for those who were there as you would barely have been able to see him)

a mixture of the two - cramp

 

[Withdean South Stand]

I think he is a sensational player who is playing and possibly acting like he's over this experience now and could do with his "big move". Which I think is inevitable, unless we get Champions League football and give him a fat contract.

Yeah poor guy was really struggling at the end. Shows how much he gets about though.

Good job we've got no midweek games

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

Just how much would it take to replace him?

Rutter cost £40K and has had to improve to get a regular starting position.

Oh yes and don't forget the penalties. They mean a lot.

 

[GT49er]

No more than the £ 30 m we paid for him, probably less now

Maybe slightly more, but not much - not going to be a big profit like we've frequently made in recent years., not like Caicedo, Cucurella, Mac Allister etc. He was, and pretty much still is, worth what we paid for him.

 

[elwheelio]

Liverpool are regularly linked to him. I'm guessing £50m-£60m.

Well I don't think he's done enough to earn the big boy move yet. We should make him do another year unless a massive offer is made.

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

Really good forwards are expensive and rare.

 

[Freddo]

I think if he was available to buy now for £30m every single Premier League team would be in for him! He’s worth considerably more than we paid for him

Show me the queue. Or a credible rumour that anybody is eyeing him up. Just because we've got some eye-watering transfer fees lately, we'd be unwise to assume that every player we buy will double or treble in value after a year or two!
We won't be getting £100M for Ferguson either - or anything like it; not at the moment anyway.

£40k ? No wonder the Leeds fans were angry
