I like that he could potentially feature in the CWC.

Odds on him coming off the bench to score?

Cucurella is absolutely rubbish defending. Lovely player and I like him and his commitment but hes total toss defending.

With a packet of sweets and a cheeky smile.. is a chant Oppo fans will sing at us and him like we did Wenger.

Palmer was a baller until Maresca told him to pass to the keeper or defender. We win games when he decides to be a baller

Did you not even grasp the message and actions taken by the moderators?

If you did then I can only assume you are a troll

Not Ben Roberts. But perhaps we can sack him for it anyway?

Ah sh*t, thought i had the fcker then!

Yes, in exchange for this guy

Another one that's found a loophole.

Posting - then banned?

This signing is so exciting that we're discussing the ban of salmonjumper instead...

Who is salmonjumper???? Please don’t say the next Neymar and we’ve just paid £50m for him☹️

Excited by this one. Knows the league, technically good, combative, physical - 40 goal involvements in 70 games for Brighton (think that's what I read).

Welcome to the club - go bang those goals in!

He doesn't know how we play, so by Maresca's own words he shouldn't really be featuring for us in the CWC much if at all

the positive is that...he doesn't yet know how we play, and Pepelini won't yet have had the chance to break him....

Good signing

If Santos isn’t playing because he needs to learn the ropes. Would be interesting if Pedro does play given Santos’ treatment.

Santos probably did irredeemable things in training...like passing the ball forward or shooting on target

I mean Liverpool looked to have done great business, but I don’t think City have done anything special since Haaland. I mean Cherki is a standard BlueCo youngster, Rjienders no one was asking to sign him, Ait Nori looks like a decent signing. Savinho and Doku are terrible. Mamoush has been rotting about the Bundesliga for years with only one good season.

Think it’s easy to glance at other teams believing they’re making great signings and then scrutinising your own team. When in fact the signings aren’t too dissimilar or worse.

I disagree Cherski and Savinho are good players who would make a difference in our team if we had them

I also have to say all of you in here make me laugh uncontrollably every time I read this forum.

I love you guys

You all cheer me up everyday.

It’s like standup in here.

All of you are so smart and clever with your knowledge and your humour

Keep it going

Up the Chels 🙏🏽

How does Pedro improve us? He will give us something different. Same with the signing of Delap, Neto, Tosin, Sancho.

If he starts over Jackson or Sanchez - then he improves us. The rest is unimportant.

It was always a good signing but the optics were bad. Hopefully he keeps improving

Positive cameo today - on a debut with very little training, he looked one of our best players.

Also - cracking signals that he came on up front, ahead of jackson - who was planted to the bench throughout. Long may it continue

He looked sharp last night, for me he should be in that role behind the striker as he'll be wasted as a 9 in this system.

Have Delap to bully the CB's and J.Pedro/Palmer/Neto in behind.

Pedro Palmer Pedro positively producing

Very impressed with his impact. He looked surprisingly sharp and very determined. HIs told up play and ability to bring other players into the game was as good as we've seen for some time. In the current squad, he'll push to start most games.

Saw a video after the match from the dressing room also where he was dancing away - he reminded me of Rudiger in that moment - we all know the team will benefit from that type of spirit.

Edit - forget to mention how easily he was able to get involved in the game. Perhaps there was more space and tired minds, but Delap has looked more isolated than how Pedro integrated.
