Simples square peg in round hole. Play him in his best position
I think he looks better coming on from the left, or as a support player than he does at centre forward.

I appreciate this is an unpopular opinion.

That is a very good comparison. Jesus is a player I have admired for years and Pedro's style is as you say, similar. They both have the appellation 'de Jesus' I wonder why Pedro is Joao Pedro and Jesus is Gabriel Jesus?

Because Brazilians tend to have ridiculously long names so choose a short one for their shirt. Often just their first name or even a nickname.

He reminds me of a giraffe when he runs, has these long legs, looking slightly less than graceful, but cover great distances at speed.

Or is it just me :shrug:

Bargain for £30m. Again the recruitment team showing outstanding work and RDZ to polish up the raw talent.

Hearing the mighty Luton are gonna give him some major abuse tomorrow. Let's see how the old Brazilian temperament holds up in the Kenilworth cauldron.

They did during the first game of the season, boo'd him every time he had the ball etc.... I had to look it up for the reason and only then found out about the Luton/Watford bitter rivalry.

Apparently his first goal in England was for Watford V Luton which was a 1-0 win, which endeared him even further to the boo boys.
