MoroccanBlue 5,385 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Pedro replaces Nkunku if anyone. Much more of a #10 than a ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Type wise maybe but looking at the stats he has played 119 games as ST and only 7 as a#10. he has played occasionally as second striker but that position does not exist in our system which was one of the reasons Nkunku failed here. If Jackson is sold, I expect Joao to compete with Delap for the striker position mostly. His skillset allows him to play across the frontline ofc but I don’t see him operating in the half spaces and sometimes dropping deep like Palmer and Enzo do when playing as 10.

I much, much prefer Pedro to Felix so it's easy to see him as an upgrade to the Portuguese international. Problem of course is that Felix never had a role in the team so if Pedro is replacing someone who never played what's the point? Well I think there's more to Pedro's game than there is to to Felix's. For example he can perform as a nine, whereas Felix absolutely cannot. There's more physicality: and purpose about Pedro too. If we can now find new clubs for Felix and Nkunku that will be a good rearranging of the deck chairs. Bringing in one player who can, and will, contribute to replace two who couldn't, or at any rate didn't, will be a step in the right direction.

Thor 2,748 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 I'd love Kudus here as well. Think he provides a lot of what Rogers does but at a cut rate price. If he costs half of Rogers, sign him up. Get rid of Noni, Jackson and Mudryk. Felix too. mkh and DDA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not going to defend Gittens, I’m just going to be patient that there is enough there to develop. Joao Pedro as an every game PL starter, that price is right.

Thor 2,748 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 I honestly think Liverpool has one or two more good/great seasons left in them - if that. They signed the "big names" but I'm not enamoured by their team like some. Their core is getting older and the players that hide a lot of weaknesses are part of that older core.

Joao Pedro as an every game PL starter, that price is right. As someone else pointed out, Pedro scored six goals from open play in the league. I would have much preferred us to have spent less for Kudus. Gittens is off the City line. It's hard to hate the results thus far. Price seems steep for someone they were actively looking to get rid of, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
