In fact Whoscored list him as playing in that role the most last season. He played LW occasionally but most times last season he played as the no.10 or upfront as the false no.9. But that being said his game he likes to drift over to the left sometimes also. Could be, every highlight of him I remember from last year was him coming from the left on attack.

mkh 627 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 (edited) 🔵Now I am almost sure that these players will all leave Chelsea. Nkunku, Madueke, KDH, Felix, Carney, Ugo, Sterling, Broja, D.Fofana and Jackson!!! George, Paez, Amougou and Guiu will be loaned out. D.Washington is still on loan to FC Santos until January 2026. Mudryk no idea how it goes on there now after the doping ban!!! Edited June 29 by mkh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkh 627 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Newcastle had reached an agreement with Brighton to sign Joao Pedro, but the desire to play for Chelsea spoke louder, and the Brazilian made a decision in the last few days.

Pizy 18,996 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 23 minutes ago, NikkiCFC said: Gittens is Sancho replacement. Pedro for Nkunku. Bar is not high to be better, no? People forget we have 3rd best defense in the league behind Liverpool and Arsenal. And that was with best CB out almost full season, captain and starting RB also was out significant time and DM who provides great defensive protection. Not to mention first season with Marescaball. Learning process. On the other hand in attack we were lacking. Absolutely makes sense to get 3 attackers now already Delap, Gittens and Pedro. At least we won't hear anymore how are rivals are getting all targets early and only here nothing happens. I guess the thinking might be that Gittens is more aggressive and assertive than Sancho and that João Pedro isn’t a lazy ass like Nkunku. Are they “better” players than Sancho and Nkunku? Probably not. Do they suit what Maresca wants from attackers? That must be what the club are thinking. I’m going to take a wait and see approach with João Pedro. As others have said, Caicedo and Cucu came from Brighton and are beasts now. Maybe this guy can be the next one. He’s clearly super talented.

Mário César 1,344 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 we have a short summer and a short pre season and tons of games specially with champions league. we can not rotated as we did in the CL.

mkh 627 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 I will not be surprised if ChelseaFC adds ONE more player to their squad in an OFFENSIVE position this summer. They are still looking at options, and let's see what happens with outgoings. Let's keep an eye on it. (via@FabrizioRomano) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,996 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Surely we have to make multiple sales now before another additional attacker after Gittens and Pedro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkh 627 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Chelsea are still discussing whether another forward is needed. Hugo Ekitike is one potential target. Whether they move may now depend on whether Nicolas Jackson departs. (via@JacobsBen) Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 (edited) Most ppl will have seen plenty of Joao Pedro so I would say the overall fan reaction and sentiment is sound in this case. A good, versatile footballer but not a great goalscorer. The thing is we have plenty of these players already. So clearly the ambition by the Bord sis not to sign a ready made wc striker to compete for titles. The frustration over this is understandable but let’s now this is established let’s take a step back and see the signing in isolation. For me has had always been one to watch since he came into the league spearheading an awful Watford side. back then his ability to hold onto the ball and link up play was already impressive even at age 20. he was usually the only player in the opposition half most of the time Often, after Watford had aimlessly launched the ball upfield he shielded it for a good 20 seconds till support arrived. None of our players quite has this ability; we produce a lot of turnovers whenever we get into the final third, I expect this to decrease with him. I would have preferred a proper, experienced goalscorer ofc but what Pedro brings to the table can be valuable too. Now from the economic side, 50m+ for a homegrown, PL proven Brazil international sounds fair enough but remember he was already most of that when Brighton signed him for half in 2023 while the board wasted money on mudryk, Joao Felix, Kellyman etc who were nowhere near the same level Edited June 29 by Magic Lamps Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
