[Albion] Where in the world is Joao Pedro?

I think so too. Just doesn’t seem the type of personality that fits into Fabian’s ‘together’ mentality.
I also think we always have at least a couple of players we are looking to sell every summer transfer window.
My guess this summer is;
Joao Pedro
Julio Enciso
Sima
Would be happy with this if it meant retaining Bart, Baleba and Mitoma plus our other Crown Jewels.
Who's gonna waste their money on him ?? Newcastle maybe ?
True, but neither are some of the strikers at the three clubs mentioned

Just seen this. It's great news that the parasites of West London are joining the queue, as that immediately puts the price up. That said, I'd be mildly surprised if Liverpool were genuinely in for him. I think he's good, but not Liverpool good.
Chelsea: sure. They're not a top side and are interested in anybody aged under 24 who's ever scored a goal in the Premier League, so it makes sense, plus obviously he plays for the club who do all their scouting for them, so quite frankly you'd be surprised if they weren't interested.
Arsenal seem like the perfect fit: they have a strong track record of signing players who are good but not absolutely top class, who have a pathological habit of acting like a dickhead periodically. Joao Pedro would be a textbook Arteta signing, but you can see them fudging over the price if they're also signing Gyökeres or Seško.
It would have to be a pretty good fee, of course given that we paid £30m for JP in the first place (plus I wonder if there's a sell-on clause for Watford?) so the fact that the world's worst negotiators appear to be logging in from Cobham to join the bidding war can only help in that respect. I wonder if we can convince them of Abdallah Sima's potential too? Yours for £49 million, Todd!

Chelsea and Newcastle if they sell Isak.

I just can't see Isak going. They supposedly want £130 million for him- who's going to pay that these days?*
*I realise the answer to that is always "Chelsea" but quite frankly he'd be mad to go from Newcastle to Chelsea right now: it's not like he'd even get a massive pay rise so what's the point?

Agree. It's very easy to take a world-class penalty taker for granted too.
Not better than trossard. Trossard was a winger and got more non pen goals and assists.
Pedro barely ever scores and assists apart from pens

So Chelsea want to bin off Nicholas Jackson whose temperament is not seen as great because he threw an elbow at an opponent and want to replace him with Joao Pedro who has missed the last three Albion games because...

Tbf after the way he's been acting, he'll fit straight in with Chelsea and Cucurella.
Sadly, it seems Pedro has let the hype go to his head a little. This is a shame for him as he'll now end up at Chelsea rather than a big club.

Anyone who thinks it will be ok to sell João Pedro needs to give their head a wobble. He's Brazil's number 9 but we are ok with losing him to Chelsea? Give me a break. We can't have a team of nice lads, we need the dark arts somewhere in the team.
I actually really rate Jackson. Wouldn't be that bad if Pedro went one way and Jackson came the other

Good. Completely over-rated prima-donna. Hopefully Ferguson will get fit and we play a bit more to his strength, rather than thinking he can do Messi stuff.
