So ultimately you guys just want the club to set its sights lower from the outset, and just get what they can right? Do we end up with the likes of Tonali and Isak if we go with such an approach? Just let them work their way through their list and lets see where we're at once the window closes.

It's not a debate

It's every single thread on here at the minute man. I could understand this reaction if the window had just closed or something. This is ridiculous.

Wish there was an NUFC transfer hotline people could dial into to bitch and moan at Andy Howe or something. Have no idea what complaining on here constantly is supposed to achieve exactly!

He'll probably then get info on Congolese players due to the Belgium ties.

They were all complaining when we went for him last summer and said he was shit Now he had a good season and Man City have scuppered the deal, they're complaining about us not getting the deal done previously

At some point people are going to have to move past last summer though. That's why Mitchell left as soon as the season ended, so everything wouldn't be laid at his doorstep again, and Howe and his guys would not feel infringed upon in any way. It's nothing like last summer. People wanted Howe fully in charge. Now he's doing it fully his way and it's not like they imagined or anticipated, surprise surprise they're still complaining again! Howe is very particular about what he wants and he's not going to move on as quickly from his main targets as people want, he's also going to try his best to get them even if it means losing out to other teams. Think folks are just going to accept that is how he operates.

The problem is if it goes badly you could end up still struggling to shift him even with the perceived re-sale value. You're seeing that now with Hojlund. You lot really need to get in someone with some experience up front IMO.

At some point they will switch to alternative targets that are more straightforward to get, but they're clearly not ready to do so yet. No matter how much people moan about it.

Man Utd looking at Sesko?! Yet another young striker that needs some further development in a good environment, and where there are also other reliable options up front to take some pressure off. Instead he'll be thrown into the fire like Hojlund was. Are they seriously going to do this all over again?!

Then no deal. They'll tell him some lies and throw enough money at him to where he won't turn it down though.

It's not just Man City interest. It's a buy back clause.

Then Man City can keep him.

Ha! I bet this is tied to us refusing to sell Tino to them.

PIF just reminding him he will be well taken care of when the time is right. And so he needn't worry too much about clubs trying to sway him with any promise of greater riches that Newcastle cant quite give him right now.

They've seen the Savona link and drawn some goofy conclusions. That Savona looks very slow and cumbersome at full back. He looks like a centre back playing out of position. Replacing Tino with that guy would be laughable.

We also don't even know what negotiations are ongoing and how long ago they started!

Well, that's because we're not signing any more players and everything is bad forever ...

That Savona isn't really up to scratch I don't think. Can't see it being him we're after. I think if we're looking at a Juve centre back it will be Tiago Djalo, the guy that won Ligue 1 partnering our very own Sven Botman in France. I saw his name pop up as an option for us a month ago. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/soccer/newcastle-united/news/newcastle-united-weigh-move-serie-defensive-star/6a7d5ab66c1c9fea74d1acaf We were strongly linked with him before he joined Juve. He got injured early on there, and it didn't quite work out. Think he was on loan at Porto last year. When all these expensive striker bids started going in for the likes of Pedro and Ekitike, it did make me wonder if we'd be saving money by getting Djalo in on loan initially, ash he'll likely be available on that sort of deal. He fits more the sort of profile people want in a Botman partner, and already played with him and won a title doing so in France.

You're right, but it will fall on deaf ears unfortunately.

Exactly, he's in charge of it all now

True

This place is truly unbelievable during the summer transfer windows man
