Pedro Neto (to Chelsea)

Working on this one

Strong like from me. He’s our most important target IMO

Yeah this is the most essential

 

[djhotspur]

Yeah this is the most essential

Agreed, him in or starting front 3 just adds so much pace and danger.

I was being flippant, no need to be upset bud xx

Must be quite difficult to complete a deal given the time differences: when it’s 12-00 in London where Lange is, 20-00 in Korea where Ange, Skipp and Solomon (reflecting the info that a player swap will be involved) are, and 7-00 in Maryland where Neto is.

I can’t see anything happening until next week when everyone is in the same time zone.

If only there was a way they could all communicate at the same time whilst being in diff time zones!

Given how the pre-season has gone - and Sonny maybe moving back to LW, and Deki playing in the middle - getting RW competition seems like it should be our highest priority.

I get the sense this one will get done soon from everything that is starting to come out in the media and ITK etc, Gary O'Neil's comments were also pretty indicative.

Would be a huge signing, just hope we can get it done soon and can follow it up with another top attacking signing as we desperately need 2.

Wolves will absolutely snap our hand off for a player with his injury record.

Can someone please explain to me why (other than foaming at the mouth for a transfer) he would be good for us?

& if any neggers from the ITK want to chip in, and reply to me here... go ahead please.

This should just be stickied at this point

On the injury front to give some balance to it, a fracture to the kneecap which he missed 297 days for doesn't make him injury prone. Its firstly, really rare and just extremely unlucky. In the same manner, rolling his ankle doesn't either which was his 2nd major injury.

This season he suffered injury to both hamstrings. Now for an explosive player like him this is could be deemed slightly more of a concern. With that said, it would be slightly more concerning if the same hamstring were to break down repeatedly.

For Neto, the right hamstring was injured after a run of playing 6 games in February and it was 1 minute into the 2nd half of the match. We are always most concerned about hamstrings in the first few minutes of a game, the first few minutes of the second half and the last period of the game once fatigued. Gary O'Neil actually took a risk on him in that game as it was said Neto was fatigued and was feeling his hamstring after their Newcastle game in the match prior. His minutes should have been managed and he probably should have sat the Fulham game out where he became injured.

This leaves us with the left hamstring injury he suffered in October and he missed a couple of months for. Which has been a fairly regular occurrence for lots of players since the 2022 world cup.

Interestingly met with the West Ham and Chelsea Sports Dr's last week and we discussed hamstrings a lot since there's been a huge uptick in injuries to them in the past 2 seasons across the league.

So I would say Neto has had a very unfortunate injury history, but given the context of them all I don't think this will put a top side from taking a chance on him as they'll be confident in dealing with the hamstring management given its a focus of a lot of medical departments this summer.

Edit - please direct any informative or positive ratings to the original post

Has Neto got a bad injury record ?

Has Neto got a bad injury record ?

Him and his whole family are permanently injured Chelsea fans.

 

[LukaKranjcar]

Im sure the club are more than aware of his injury record and will of course have done far more due diligence than a few lads on Spurs Community

Fair enough to be concerned but im almost certain we aint shelling out literally tens of millions on Neto without knowing the facts.

Ange's system requires fast wide forwards who can beat their man and create goal scoring chances. Neto fits that brief.

We've discussed the injuries to death. He's still very young and the history doesn't indicate how he will fare in the future. Let's let the medical team judge his condition.

Honestly can't be bothered with the comments first time Neto misses a game with injury, even if it's in February. Some of you donuts are going to give him this "injury prone" tag for his entire Spurs career if he signs.

Think it’ll disappear after a season of actually being fit, just like with Kane (took longer outside spurs fans)

 

[npearl4spurs]

The point that was made much earlier in the thread I liked was that he always comes back stronger

Must be a severe brain injury then.

I think signing him would be a huge gamble, you can dress it up as much as you want but the fact he’s only played the equivalent of 32 games over the last 3 seasons does not look good. Scoring only 3 goals and 10 assists.

If we do sign him obviously I’ll get behind him and hope for the best.
