He’ll have to be the striker. Howe has tunnel vision for 3 out and out CM’s who can tackle for 90 minutes (doing an Everton). Did Pedro consistently thrive as a winger for us, I can’t remember that?
Pedro doesn’t mind a bit of positional fluidity and switching between LW and CF and SS mid match - the problem is, none of Newcastle’s other forwards have the same flexibility.

Nor Howe, restricted by that 3 dogs of war in CM.

Brilliant when they are here and happy, load of shit when they are on their way...

It's the NSC way

Unless they always gave their all, with no “head not in the right place” moments whilst earning vast riches from our club.

Macca, White, Bissouma, Burn, Ulloa … very few doubted their quality as it became known they were departing.

Isn’t our points per game better without him?

He will just play left wing or striker given Gordon and isak are injury prone.

£65m would be good, means tzimas and Watson are free given we paid about £35m for Pedro.

For 65mil + I'd sell him. Good player but I feel we have adequate cover that suits our style better. He will go on to do well where ever he goes, but that doesn't bother me.

Top goalscorer and top assister this season and some are happy to get rid?! 🤦‍♂️

Massive shoes to fill. Can’t believe how many people on here under rate him.

Pedro wants out of the Albion, now, a few people discussing him on the internet is neither here or there.

He had an underwhelming season for us and attitude problems. We also have Rutter (who was injured awhile) to take his place. We will miss Pedro in the big games but he went missing too often against the mid/bottom sides

Newcastle were forced to sell Minteh & Anderson for big money last summer to comply with PSR. Where have they suddenly got £70m from the buy players like Pedro? :unsure:

CL income to come and they got rid of two more players in January.
