It seems chelski aren’t that bothered and that leaves the Reds in prime position for JP. I am not a fan tbh and hope he finds somewhere else to play football, not exactly a team player, perfect for the London blues.

I can’t see how he fits into the Edwards/Hughes/Slot philosophy. Nunez got a kinda public dressing down midseason for not working his socks off in defence when the team didn’t have possession. Required every moment of every game.

Pedro is hit or miss.

Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle, if Isak goes, all need a goal scoring centre forward. JP is not that so where else could he go?
They do, but they also need strength in depth. None of those teams will go into the summer only looking for one type of player. JP can play all across the front 4 and that's of huge value to any top team

He's a prima donna who shows flashes of brilliance but also has an attitude problem and isn't as good as he thinks he is. He's basically made for Man Utd in 2025.

I haven’t looked at any stats, so maybe this isn’t the case, but to my mind he doesn't have a suitably high rate of success with what he attempts*. When things work for him it looks great, and his levels are okay for us, but there’s a lot of times things he tries which don’t quite come off or the opportunity goes and he has to recycle the ball. Unless this improves I feel it will prevent him playing for a top team.

* pens aside.

Again I don't have the stats, but this feels about right. It often feels like we see him trying audacious flicks / backheels in the centre circle which don't come off, and his dribbling seems to often end up in a dead end.

Top clubs will want him. His age for one thing. Experience in Premier League. He works his socks off along with Danny and Gino which is why we have done well. Also why Evan can’t get in the side. How much they will pay is another matter but we trust Tony to get the right price, of course.
