When rumours first started that we were in for Georginio I dismissed them as nonsense.
When it became apparent he was signing for £40, I bemoaned the decision. I pointed to his scoring record and some underwhelming performances in Leeds relegation season. I claimed the club had finally got...
I think Joao Pedro is a way off from being fit. But just say he was fit for the next game, that is one incredible selection dilemma right there.
I would guess one of them gets shunted out to the right. But wow, that would be a tough call
And I always think with young players, don't worry too much about the finishing. Goalscoring is one of the later things that comes. The club have calculated that the metrics on him are very good and the goalscoring will come in time.
The early signs are promising
Wonderful performance. A real presence and shows real confidence on the ball
His shirt to lose. It doesn't seem like Joao Pedro is back any time soon, if he were we would have a serious selections dilemma, we'd have to accommodate them both
I don't buy this, he's not a goalscorer thing.
True, his record is currently poor. But surely the club have seen evidence that they think it's going to improve dramatically.
You can't just buy a forward for £40m, play in centrally in behind the main striker, then accept that he won't really...
You've got to try to forget the fee we paid.
I think he'll go on a few nice runs, I think he'll continue to be hard to knock off the ball.
But I question what will his output be? Will he get goals and assists?
The Leeds fan I spoke to about him said they are a better team without him and he is amazed that anyone met the release clause
He said specifically that he's good at taking players on in the Championship, but that often he lost the ball when doing this and the got hit on turnovers.
Just...
Agreed it's way too early to judge,
He's featured so far for us off the right, which I guess isn't his best position.
Joao Pedro is completely undroppable at the moment, but I can see Rutter getting time in a central position, if Welbeck goes off and Pedro is shunted farther forward
I wonder...
As with all Brighton players i'm hoping he does well.
But I can't shake the thoughts ....
He looked bad for Leeds in their relegation season.
His goalscoring record is bad and there is a general consensus it's the weakest part of his game, (he's a forward)
The sighters he had at the Emirates...
