But that just spoils a lot of people on here’s agenda who want to confirm him as bad egg and bin him off rather than one of the best players who has ever played for this club and given us some of the best memories we will ever have as Albion fans.
Yet still got 10 goals and 6 assists this season in the PL.
He’ll be a massive loss. Chronically under rated player by Albion fans as gifted players like him quite often are. We’re much happier with a limited defender who appears to try hard - see our POTS history.
Unbelievable naivety...
His assist last night makes it 23 goal or assist involvements for the season in 39 games - a goal involvement every 115 minutes. And the assist stats obviously don’t include the fact he won a large % of the penalties he scored.
To put that in context, Gross who won our POTS and understandably...
It is a disaster if true. Our threat is reduced dramatically, Ferguson is not in his league currently.

I just can’t see it.
How long do you think clubs like Newcastle, Chelsea and Arsenal with the ownership they have will put up with this? All three apparently didn’t spend in January because of the rules, they’re not going to put up with that for long and the other big clubs will feel the same...
Don’t be so sure about lower transfer fees and wages. Remember the after effect of Covid was supposed to so the same.
It’s a matter of time before these rules are softened or you can kiss goodbye to football as we know it and welcome the Super League.
I’m not normally one to get involved with valuation talk, but if we sold Caicedo for £115m, I hope we hold out for a lot more than that. Joao Pedro is special.
You’ve know you’ve got a special player on your hands when he’s not only the most talented player in the team but also the hardest working. I love him.
Give him a new contract now, whatever he wants, just give it to him. Incredible. He’s elite, the best striker who’s ever played for us and probably ever will.
