Willock + £50m for Elanga and Anderson

Those breaks with Gordon, Isak and Elanga will be electric. The low block stuff we'll just have to continue to work on. Tonali and Bruno need to step up in those situations IMO.

Also true for everyone else. And no one else has Eddie Howe.

Feel like his cat’s about to get kicked all over.

Personally would want a more technical player, as I think he's an electric pace on the counter type and where we sometimes struggle is against sides sat in against us at home. Then again, if Eddie wants him I'm for it. We basically don't miss on transfers.

Gordon is miles better than him. What a weird comparison.

People were hoping for us to get some namby playmaking little twink from the continent nobody has ever of, no ta says Eddie, I'll have the speed merchant from Forest. I'm here for it. Let's get our trophy winning legend whatever players he wants.

I just think it’s massively underwhelming 3 windows of no signings, no right winger signing since Murphy under Ashley and the answer is Elanga

Extremely narrow minded in our targets if this is true. Would be very disappointed. Hope it’s just a smokescreen.

Just recycling last summers transfer list then

Another PSR deal perhaps? Willock and 25m for Elanga?

Not going to get worked up over Elanga. End of day, him, a starting CB, then say Trafford GK and signing a CM, and we’re way stronger than last season. At an age where resale is there too if he takes the next step.

Murphy is already at his ceiling. He's playing out of his skin, but there isn't really any way his game can continue to improve.

Agreed, don’t think that could be argued tbh.

Howe not allowed to bid for £120m winger who already has one.

For sure.

Feels like we are seeing an opportunity here with Forest likely being PSR tight, he’s a great player too. Although I might prefer some more technical ability, he’s is absolutely in fitting with the bread and butter of our system and identity which are physical attributes.. and that has to be a must with any winger we sign. He’ll upset a few of you on here if he’s signed, but if it happens you’ll all come around like you did on Gordon.

From Forest fans “Well Newcastle fans don't want him, Saying he is bang average, one dimensional, One fan has gone as far as saying they will jump off a cliff if they sign Elanga. Who do they think they are seriously. Elanga would be a massive improvement on Purple Patch Murphy.” ”They obviously haven't seen the impact his set pieces have had this season, anyway his one dimension is better than the 4 dimensions of Anthony Gordon when 3 of them involve him looking to artificially win free kicks or penalties and the other one is looking exactly like my mates mam did in the 1980s.” “Also Jacob Murphy has had success this season finding the net 8 times in the EPL, but 4 of those were against Leicester, 1 against Ipswich, 1 against Palace before they decided to play football well, 1 against us and 1 in a defeat to Fulham so his purple patch is not even that good really.” “Hope they start bidding soon as last time we ended up getting £20m for a poor keeper and Anderson off of them, I'd take maybe Livramento or Hall for £30m this time.” “For context they want 80m for 5 goals/6 assists (and older) older Gordon... Bidding starts there.”

Think this is just the typical cycle we'll go through with some of these signings. Feels like the reaction to the Gordon signing all over again. In the end though, I think we'll all be pleasantly surprised.

Eh? He’s hardly an idiot, he’s a very good crosser of the ball and he’s only just turned 23. He’s not just pace

Snap your hand off for him ahead of Madueke, mind.

Howe cannot teach him football brain

Hope they would give him another crack Ten Hag style. They might hire someone competent.

Exactly. Good stats for a kid over the past two seasons.

Yes agree with that. I just think we need something else if we want to grow. He will fit in with Howe no doubt.
