7. Pedro Neto

[nyikolajevics 2,690]

Officially taken number 19, which was worn by Broja last season.

Poor Mando, last year Nknunku, now Neto takes his squad number, says a lot about his status at the club.

[Special Juan 28,096]

Biggest signal that he is off also.

Out of all the signings in the last two years etc, this one excites me massively. This lad is a complete box of tricks, has incredible pace, can dribble at high speed and has goals in him. I think we see a front three of Nkunku, Palmer and Neto on Sunday

bye bye Sterling!

[Special Juan 28,096]

The biggest two finger salute to Sterling there could be giving him the 7 shirt

Sterling and his camp really dropped a massive fatty issuing that statement when they did.

Chelsea’s Pedro Neto led the way in two impressive stats during Portugal’s victory over Poland

https://www.thechelseachronicle.com/news/chelseas-pedro-neto-led-the-way-in-two-impressive-stats-during-portugals-victory-over-poland/

Chelsea had a couple of representatives in Portugal’s 3-1 win against Poland on Saturday.

Pedro Neto and Renato Veiga both started the Nations League match, with the latter making his debut for Portugal.

Neto is still finding his feet at Chelsea, playing deputy to Noni Madueke at this moment in time. However, the winger had a good game for his country last night.

When club football returns, Neto will be hoping for more opportunities under Enzo Maresca.

Pedro Neto’s performance against Poland

Neto could not get his name on the scoresheet in Portugal’s victory over Poland, but he still managed to put in a positive performance.

According to Squawka, the 24-year-old completed 100% of his four take-ons and won more duels (seven) than any other player on the pitch.

It is an encouraging sign for Maresca, though you would expect the Chelsea manager to stick with Madueke when the Blues travel to Anfield to take on Liverpool after the international break.

Madueke has started all but one of Chelsea’s seven Premier League games this season, scoring last time out against Nottingham Forest.

Madueke also registered 20 touches in Forest’s penalty area that day, showing how much of a threat he was in the 1-1 draw.

Pedro Neto’s stats

Following his appearance against Poland, Neto now has 13 caps and one goal for Portugal.

He will be hoping to add to his one goal when his country take on Scotland on Tuesday in their next Nations League match.

For Chelsea, Neto has made 10 appearances and scored two goals so far, with his second strike coming against Gent in the Conference League earlier this month.

Chelsea fans were impressed with Neto’s display in the 4-2 win against Gent, but it was not enough for him to keep his place in the team for the draw with Forest afterwards.

how big?

we have to be talking £75-80m or so

he is a fucking monster defensively for a winger

can run all day, and has a winner's vibe

I warned he would not be a huge scoring threat, BUT he, like CuCu, has surprised me a lot with all the other facets to their games

Yes 100 million or more. 

Because I doubt anyone will offer that, I'm happy with him as I always said.
