Why would Man City be trying to steal him, with the amount of wingers they have in front of him. Don't believe it.  This Chelsea PR bullsh*t always seems to come out as we are signing players, to justify what they're doing. 

Probably because they see he is projected to turn into a Bernardo Silva type of player in around five years once he'll lose the explosiveness. 

Pedro Neto is a valuable asset now because of his quality on both wings and will also be a top player once the pace is gone because he is more of a playmaker winger, rather than a direct, goalscoring one. Just like Bernardo Silva, a no. 10 on the wings. These players are rare.

His crossing will be useful for Marc Guiu or a Victor Osimhen.

To little Joao Felix? Not so much imo.

But City have an abundance of these type of players and have a proper multi club model where all of their satellite clubs are also developing talent. I am sorry but for me that was a smokescreen PR stunt by the Chelsea media lot to garner positive social media comments and responses.

Probably. Nevertheless, a quality signing.

Don't get the 54 m investment of an 'older' (lol) player with a terrible injury record over the last 3 seasons

 

then I remembered Wesley Fofana, I expect Neto will go to the USA for his 'baseball' medical as well 😂

You just know he's picking up a bad one early doors. It's Chelsea afterall

So it's best for his fitness not to have any impact?

What's Mason Mount up to these days?

f**k BlueCo

Looked bright for the first 5 or so mins when he came on.  The second set of subs seemed to finish off the little attacking fluidity we had.

Yeah.. thought the subs were awful.. Guiu ain’t ready .. should have put nkunku uptop instead.. and removed Enzo to bring on madueke.. 

Miles better than Mydruk already, he's a professional footballer with pace, not and fast person who we are trying to turn into a footballer.

Fair point, the lower cross was spot on and Felix hit a beautiful finish.

He's much better on the left, looks more dangerous.

Brilliant he was. So clever today.

The 6th goal showed good understanding between him, KDH and Felix, all new players. Bodes well for the future

Exciting player. Confidence boosting introduction.
