Any truth in the paper talk regarding Pedro Neto?
05 Jul 2026 11:01:43
Papertalk, by which you mean... Indykaila.
Who knows... Not heard anyone mention him other than Indy.
I quite like him, actually, but no idea if we'd go for him. ?♂️

I like him a lot, but I think it is nonsense. I can't see why Chelsea would sell him, and I think we're more interested in other players. I think we'll sign at least one of El Mala, Minteh or Fernandez-Pardo.
Then I think we might get one of Diomande or Barcola, though I'm less confident of that.
I simply do not believe the other links to the likes of Neto, Bowen, Summerville etc.

Certainly a dangerous player and a decent provider, but doesn't score enough for me.

Neto is already 26 and yet he has only scored a career total of 34 goals. 34 in 247 games! Not to mention he is not even exciting to watch. Hard pass.
05 Jul 2026 12:18:57
Agree, MK. I'd love both Diomande and Minteh if Gakpo leaves.
05 Jul 2026 12:23:40
Hard pass. End product isn't impressive and that's being generous. Plus, you have to look at his injury history.
05 Jul 2026 12:30:52
While I agree with you, vv, I'm glad the club doesn't need your approval or we'd be playing 5 a side every week. ?
05 Jul 2026 13:18:43
Yeah, but Pedro Neto is pretty much best described as "toilet". I'd far rather take a punt on Minteh at this point, at least I know he's a grafter, notwithstanding my own misgivings about him being Diet Adama Traore.

Neto is very similar to his supermarket name Netto:
You only go there when you have meagre funds, because everything on show is Gladys Knight!
As for his goal scoring stats: LFC needs someone who is regularly going to put the ball in the back of the Netto (another Mo).
A poster yesterday claiming it's more important to sign experienced central defenders - if you haven't got them in the back of the Netto, you have got nothing to defend.
It was Shanks who coined the phrase: "Attack is the best form of Defence!", countered by: "Goals win you games, defences win you titles?" - Alex Ferguson. No argument as to whose right, from me being schooled by Bill Shankly, besides, Ferguson copied everything LFC did to a tee.

Diet Adama Traore that's funny, Vv. ?
05 Jul 2026 15:26:00
Gladys Knight is a proper legend!

TravellingKop13, Sometimes numbers are misleading: 20 G/A in all competitions last season, 18 the year previous and 17 before that, it's a consistent output if nothing else. He's not prolific, but neither was Mo until he signed for us. Purely talking numbers here, I'm not saying he's the answer.

Can't stand Neto.A cheat.20 goals in 7Premier League seasons isn't great either.
