He doesn't score many goals
When he plays he makes an impact.

I think Ihenacho on reasonable wages as a third choice behind Isak and Wilson (or another) would be good business.
It would have to be only if Wilson left IMO.
And also if there is a young striker prospect we'd like to sign, but who might need a bit of protection, as he may not necessarily be ready to cover for Isak every game if he misses time.

No thanks to Iheanacho
I mentioned Iheanacho as a striker to get in January on the cheap when Wilson was always injured.
If we're losing Wilson and want a Prem experienced striker option on the bench as an option to replace him, it would make sense. He also won't bitch and moan about it, and would play that role. He'd also be on a free and is still only 27. I don't know why folks act as though Kelechi is trash.
We could then also still bring in a younger striker prospect like Moukoko (as an example), who wouldn't then be under as much pressure if Isak gets injured at any point.

Every signing we’ve made since the takeover plenty of people on here have pissed and moaned about how the player was not good enough / too expensive / surplus to requirements in that position etc
And so far the only one that didn’t do it on the pitch was Chris Wood, but he served a purpose, weakened Burnley and was moved on to Forest for a decent fee toot suite
Conclusion:
Lots of people on here actually know fuck all and the transfer team at NUFC know loads
Genuine question.
Is this just the norm or is this a Newcastle thing?
It's so awful man. Just relentless.

Young, potential, good with his feet. Imo too flappy and weak but in a few years that might change.
Will come in as the clear number two and will have a chance to work on his strength and dealing with crosses.
He'll also be learning behind one of the best at it.
At 6 ft 6 and just 21 years old, will still be growing into his body. Looks like he's highly rated and has big potential.
Should be in position to take over from Pope as he ages out.
Solid signing.

Yeah I hear you, didn’t think it was gonna be easy. If selling minteh was last resort then sure
And I'm totally with you.
Hopefully we can manage shifting the others before the 30th.
However, I'm thinking this article is a sign it's not looking too promising.

So it’s sell minteh or our top players?
there’s no inbetween it’s sell minteh or Bruno?
clearly maybe that’s not the case
Did you read the article?
Why do you think they are considering selling him? Just for a laugh?
Do you think they'd be considering this if there was interest in the players we'd happily let go?

Clearly? Or maybe ? Which is it
Pick whichever you prefer.
If no one is coming in for them then we'll have to figure something else out.

We need options not just one. An injury to this mystery ‘top end’ right winger and we are relying on miggy or Murphy again
So you want to keep Minteh, keep all our top players and also go and get a quality first team right winger?
Basically, you want to have your cake and eat it too.
If it was down to the fans we would never be any good I swear.

Chelsea & Man City don’t have Almiron and Murphy stinking up the right hand side (tad harsh on Murphy but point stands)
Yeah, but we already know the club is looking at bringing in a top end right winger, so why keep on about this?

I reckon Man Utd will stick with ETH but by god Southgate going on recommendation of Ashworth would be hilarious
I think Southgate probably would have happened, but he'll be so poor in the Euros that they'll bottle it.

Not sold on Minteh till I see him in a more competitive league. Eredivise is a proper pathetic league, where if you are in a strong attacking side, your attacking output will look far more amazing.
If we signed someone for £40m from Eredivise, probably would be a meltdown in here.
There's definitely a chance Slot is getting carried away.
ten Hag brought what looked like a pretty exciting right winger with him from Ajax.
We all know how that turned out.

Some big calls to be made this summer but would be shipping Wilson, Trippier, Murphy and Almiron first before this lad.
Arne Slot is a very good manager and if he wants him i’d be wary.
Clearly it's maybe not proving quite as easy to shift those lot.

right wing is a clear problem position for us. If he’s that good then he needs to play - fuck selling him when it’d cost £60m to sign a top player there anyway.
But the full £60 million doesn't count against us all in one year ... that's not how it works.
Anyway, never mind. Not getting into this nonsense again

Liverpool's title push was based off the back of selling Coutinho for top dollar and manoeuvring from there.
Sometimes tough calls need to be made. Much rather sell this kid than the likes of Isak and Bruno.
Once we go into the next 3 year cycle from July, we can then start spending normally again.
Just as an example it looks like Moukoko is done at Dortmund. Same age, more highly rated, but due to tough circumstances last season will be available for half of what we sell Minteh for. If we then go and bring him in as a replacement, I'm not complaining.

I know I just think it’s crazy to be so willing to cash in.
I think it's really fortunate we have the option. £40 million is incredible really. It will mean we can keep all our best players.
We definitely should sell him to someone other than Liverpool if we can manage it. However, if they are willing to pay loads more than others I would do the deal.
-
Just now, gdm said:
If Liverpool and other clubs want him for £40m I imagine he’s pretty well thought of. He’s been very good this season including playing & scoring in the champions league
He played for slot last season, so that will be a big part of it too.
-
Minteh is a legit wonder kid so not surprised there are offers of £40 million.
We paid what £5 million for him, and so the majority of the fee will be profit.
Not ideal selling, but if it means we keep all our top players I'm fine with it.
There's some great value on the market this summer. We can do very well after June 30th, once the 3 year period for losses gets reset

100%. Which requires a good manager or coach to instruct him properly.
We don’t have one.
Yeah ... Southgate should be hammering that into him all the time.
Having said that though, no idea why Foden doesn't get it.
Should realise he needs to be getting far more involved and looking to make more happen.
Actually thought Palmer has done more of that the past two games, even though he hasn't quite had things go for him yet.

Haha that little bellend with the paper aeroplane. Blame your folks for taking you to a friendly, mate.
Guilty of playing like he's on the Man City team. Too slow too much sideways passing. Grealish often guilty of the same.
But there's no De Bruyne to then open things up with a killer ball.
Needs to play a different way for England, with far more urgency and greater responsibility.

NUFC Transfer Rumours
in Football
Posted
Nah, you just don't get it.
Thankfully it seems we have some really sharp minds in our recruitment team, that are looking at some really clever ways to improve our squad, despite the restrictions in place.
