Former Liverpool striker Peter Crouch has said that he would pay money to go and watch Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer play.
I guess it’s a big compliment due to the fact that he’s not a Chelsea man. Most ‘Chelsea men’ pay to watch these two play every week, so it’s not even such a huge thing.

But Crouchy saying really does mean something, and it also must mean that these two players are both doing something right at the moment.

In words picked up on X this week, Crouch said:
“I would pay money to watch them, Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer.”
Pedro has been on fire recently, whilst Palmer has struggled with his form a bit this season. But the two of them together seem to be creating something nice, and Palmer showed signs of being back to his best in the game against Aston Villa earlier this week.
Chelsea winger Alejandro Garnacho’s efforts in the 4-1 win away at Aston Villa on Wednesday evening in the Premier League earned a lot of praise from Liam Rosenior, and may have earned him a start this Saturday too as they prepare to take on Wrexham in the 5th round of the FA Cup.
Blues striker Joao Pedro also spoke after that same game earlier this week in pretty emotional terms about how happy we was to be at Chelsea.
