Elephant

Is there actually link to Barkley or just speculation?

Carrasco hopefully. Probably nothing.

We are hiding our targets pretty well. It seems like now we have launched many bids and go on what we can have (Isak over Pedro). Hope for CM and RW but probably is going to be just one more.

Almost certainly going to Inter Milan.

He is not similar player as Isak and probably more planned to replace Almiron and give us options from the bench. Wilson’s injury forced us to look for a player who is more clearly number 9.

Yet another former Borussia Dortmund player. I’m pretty sure Real Sociedad did buy off the Dortmund’s buy-back clause so that should not be problem. Merino is also former BVB player.

It’s weird that we are not going for Memphis Depay. He would be free and can play in many positions. He’s obviously not cheap, but no transfer fee needed. Juventus might not go for him after all so he is at the moment still available and desperate on getting transfer.

João Pedro Junqueira Jesus is his full name. Good to have him with Pope in our team.

Haller passed medical at BVB and he has active cancer (which was complete surprise to everyone).

We played excellent football and we have a chance to be really high this season, if we get the right players in. Absolutely brilliant performance which shows that we have a really high potential with this manager and this starting XI. It’s you own misery that you thought something like that. I’m sure many thought like me, that we have such a great potential here that with few great additions and we are pure class. With better players in we would have won that game. Edit. It’s my bad actually, should have been more positive.

We need 3-4 players in, our subs are horrible. Sell Wood now, please! Maybe some club is stupid enough to buy him. He’s absolutely useless.

Wood is absolutely useless, get rid asap. Our subs are horrible, with better players in we would have won today. Great performance still!

We are bidding too low and then walking away. It’s a strange and frustrating tactic. I wish we would just go for cheaper options rather than spending the whole transfer window chasing players we don’t clearly afford.

My friend is huge Bayern München fan and he absolutely hated Thiago. He watched pretty much every single game and he thinks their midfield improved after he left, because now they have more direct and quicker approach. Not my opinion, haven’t watched Bayern enough to say anything.

There’s only going to be one loan from Chelsea, because club cannot loan two players from same club. Probably nobody meant it here, but if it’s unclear to someone.

I’m surprised and bit disappointed that we haven’t signed any young players from Europe or elsewhere. That’s our best way to spend less money when we find those players early. Hopefully our scouting network will improve massively soon, that’s as urgent as signing new players.

We have been preparing proposals all summer, must be damn hard to do it! ”Dear Benfica, We are Newcastle United and we would like to..”

Horrible players like Son, de Bruyne, Firmino, Havertz.. and you can soon add Håland to that list as well. Not to forget how well Gundogan has played scoring 21 goals during last two seasons.

”Other options being explored” is the most common thing you find Twitter with #nufc tag.

I have watched almost every BVB game during last five seasons. He has been pretty much on the same level as Pulisic. Many don’t remember that Pulisic was not guaranteed starting XI at Dortmund. Hazard is very hard-working and very skillful, the physical side has been the problem (same with Pulisic). Hazard can also play as wingback.

There is lot of players we can sign without having to pay crazy fees, for example Thorgan Hazard and Julian Brandt. We just seem to target those who are not available, it seems stupid strategy and we are losing time with it.

Borussia Dortmund has put Julian Brandt and Thorgan Hazard for sale. I would go for both of them. Also Akanji is available, but we are not in need for another CB. Hazard is good signing because he is very versitile. He can play also as full-back. Good work morale and highly skillfull. Probably available for £10M. Not the same sort of signing than Diaby, but has a lot of potential. Kind of similar to Pulisic.

Atletico Madrid is desperate to offload Griezmann, let’s see how long it takes for media to link him to us.

Linked to Bayern, but nowhere else for my knowledge.

Heavily linked to Atletico Madrid, also Borussia Dortmund very interested.
