[Albion] Joao Pedro Brazilian Maestro

[schmunk]

I've actually seen him play this season as I attended a dour 0-0 home draw vs Hull City in December, on The Day It Snowed.

Due to some early injuries for Watford he was forced to spend the majority of the game playing CM/CDM, in which he didn't look entirely comfortable, but he put in a shift, had 2 of Watford's 3 shots on target, and was directing the players around him. He was Watford's best player (on a day when Watford were poor - they had two separate players subbed on and then off again!)

Feels like a Mitoma replacement.

He's not a winger. More of a striker turned attacking midfielder

 

[Weststander]

He’s supposedly on £140k a week basic and was signed for £64 million
Just a bit out of our fee and wage structure I would think

But weren’t we after Nunez a year earlier, before a stack of goals in his final Benfica season?

Brighton & Hove Albion​

On 5 July 2018, Bernardo joined Brighton & Hove Albion from Leipzig for £9 million.[7] Bernardo made his debut for the Sussex club on 11 August in a 2–0 away loss to Watford. He made a total of 22 Premier League appearances in his first season with Brighton. He scored his first goal for The Seagulls on 17 September 2020 in a 4–0 home victory over Portsmouth in the EFL Cup.[8]

Thanks but it was in response to the idea that Bernardo didn't speak Portuguese.

We were indeed. Once whilst he was at Almeria, once at Benfica

Brighton chase £14million striker - but face competition from Sheffield United

Brighton are chasing £14million-rated Almeria striker Darwin Nunez, talkSPORT understands. Nunez, 21, is on the Seagulls’ radar after scoring 16 goals in 30 games in the Spanish Secunda Divis…

Brighton in talks over a £25m deal for Benfica striker Darwin Nunez

If Brighton can come to an agreement for Nunez, the Uruguay international will become the club's record signing. The 22-year-old scored 14 goals for Benfica last season.

Both horrible sauces, but one of the many that reported the move

But weren’t we after Nunez a year earlier, before a stack of goals in his final Benfica season?

We attempted to sign him the year before, as you say, and then again the following season before Liverpool came in. We couldn't compete with them once they did. We were closest the previous season.

 

[Weststander]

Indeed.

Their back up won’t be too shabby either:

Welbeck
Adingra Lallana Sarmiento

And their back up would probably do a job:

Undav
Enciso Groß Buonanotte

I’m not so sure about that.

 

[Weststander]

Andy Naylor suspiciously quiet, normally quick to ‘deny’ stories - but has posted something about the club trying to extend Veltman contract

I hope so, my favourite player.

Mods, ban this sexist.

What does ‘down with the kids‘ mean ?

ask Joao maybe.

 

[A1X]

Genuinely does anyone think that the transfer departments and the strategy of the top clubs in the premiership are swayed by what is in the media or on Twitter? These are large teams of people working with huge budgets and data driven approaches….do we think they see a tweet and go, ‘oh never thought of that ‘Joao Pedro’ bloke but seeing as some fella on Twitter says Brighton are in for him, we had better put a cheeky offer in’?

Not as such but it's not always about those groups. There will be an element of agents keeping their clients name out there (especially if their client isn't in the Premier League anymore), plus media interest generates fan interest which can sometimes have a say in these things.

I've seen her in Watford, she works part time in Primark selling their petite range of clothing.

Talking to my Watford supporter mate it seems this guy would be most likened to Trossard, plays mostly central but not as a number 9. Very attacking mid, good link up play. Rated him very highly, said its certain he will leave now promotion isn’t happening for them. Rates him much higher than Sarr in their team.
