[Albion] Pedro

[The Wizard]

Anyone else think Pedro might be off?

Don’t think he fits in with Rutter, they are very similar players, could be the club keeping it on the hush to get the replacements in before the deal is confirmed, Arsenal were rumoured to be after him last week?

Could be a case of putting 2&2 together but to me it looks like the ‘succession plan’ unfolding without us even knowing?

If not Pedro then who is leaving? I can’t see how the two fit in a team together really, unless Ferguson is off?

squad game , 2 players per position

We paid the price for not having this last season

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Nope.

 

[The Wizard]

Nope.

I hope he’s not but given Pedro plays as a number 10, Rutter also plays there I can’t see one of them sitting on the bench every other week and being happy about it.

Why would we spend 40m on a player who plays the same position as our best player? Doesn’t fit the clubs usual recruitment process

Exactly, and we'll need them more than ever now we're in Europe.

Shit, wrong season.

Personally I think Pedro is more likely to play up front and Rutter dropping in behind as an attacking midfield player. I hope so anyway!

 

[Flounce]

I am guessing here but I think given the way FH has had us pressing, substitutions and plenty of them will be made before 75 mins this season. For that to work well we will need players of a similar quality replacing the subbed ones, hence having two players in every position.

We will have a f***ed team very quickly just like last season if players are expected to press for more than about 60 mins

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

Literally no chance

I think if Pedro was leaving it'd be a big enough transfer that it'd be making huge waves TBH

Maybe that's naive but we're nowhere near as tight-lipped about outgoings as we are with incomings, look at the saga with Caicedo

 

[Berty23]

He had better not be leaving because my fantasy team involves him being better than Pele and I will be furious if he ruins it.

 

[dazzer6666]

Not unless someone makes a daft offer, and there's not many clubs that can atm

 

[El Turi]

Pedro can play as an out and out striker. I’d like to see him up there with Rutter just behind and Welbeck used as a more than able back up.

 

[Seagullspoons]

No way we'll sell Pedro. If we get Rutter, it saves Welbz legs for a bit longer. Easier for FH to rotate up top.

 

[Mancgull]

More likely Adingra

 

[Comrade Sam]

If Pedro goes that's it. I'm fed up with the lack of investment in the squad.

 

[CaptainDaveUK]

Pedro is not leaving.

 

[Weststander]

Did well in a first team with a poor centre midfield. If he stays injury free, he should thrive. And those penalties!

 

[HeaviestTed]

If he leaves is it because he wants to go or was sacked?

I think it's more likely a Bissouma/Caicedo situation - planning for the inevitable (if things go well) maybe next summer?

I don't think Pedro will go anywhere. But, if he does, it'll only be for an eye-watering amount. So it's almost a win-win (as long as the goals keep coming).


Mind you, Dwayne said he's shitehouse, so it doesn't matter anyway.

Well, there literally IS a chance. It might be very unlikely, but it could happen...
