Tbh it probably will be Sarr. He’s been linked a few times. Some people will be disappointed and some people will tell people how to feel and that it certainly shouldn’t be disappointment and what a great time we’ll all have.

Sarr wouldn’t be anywhere near my first choice but the signings have been spot on so far 

 

 disappointed we only got a Porsche instead of a Ferrari after 14 years of not being able to afford a bus ticket. 

Except this time, we're good.

I really wanted us to sign this lad tbh.

Not based on anything I've seen of him but by the fact that if Dortmund, Bayern and PSG (read Luis Campos) are sniffing around him, then this guy is the real deal. 

Newcastle United just casually beating AC fucking Milan to a signing. 

No big deal.

Guy reached the top levels of football on pure talent alone and without ever putting in any effort.

Considering we might get half of the fee back on Darlow, it's great business.

He looks quality and has insane potential. We would be absolutely fucking bonkers to throw our toys out the pram because he hasn't personally sucked Eddie Howe off yet.

I think people forget that this is a 19 year old lad who has absolutely zero attachment of any kind to our club, same with Botman.

I’d prefer Bissouma but the fact Dan Ashworth is here and we haven’t shown the slightest interest tells it’s own story.

 

I know JWP is a better player than just his free kicks but not sure where he fits in.

 

Our midfield seems like a collection of odd parts at the moment. Like where does Willock even fit in?

Tbf, I'd be massively surprised if there were no clauses that stopped him from pursuing Brighton players for a given period of time. 

At this point it makes more sense to sign this new guy than it does signing Botman.

Know nothing of him but he can't he that much of a step down from Botman and more importantly it would set exactly the right tone and precedent for other clubs who'll try and stiff us this summer. 

Edit: After doing some YouTube scouting and reading the comments of my fellow scouts, I am now convinced he is the second coming of Christ and we should definitely sign him.

Total bollocks that, like.

He probably thinks too much if anything, rather than being stupid. He’s not the stereotypical footballer personality. 

Yeh, I think he was born in the wrong era. 

He'd have had teams built around him in any other era of football but barring Nice, no-one catered (rightly or wrongly) to his clearly flawed character. 

Shame because he's probably my favourite ever NUFC player.

Targett, Ekitike, Botman, Sarr, Henderson

 

Would that please the fan base? I get the feeling quite a few of us were expecting a bit more quality on a couple of those, maybe rightfully so. I’d personally be pleased with those 5.

I'd be over the fucking moon with that. 

Honestly not arsed about having a perfect window. All I want it's consistent improvement window to window until we're in a place to seriously compete. 

If that means improving in only 3-4 of the 6 positions we need to improve on then that's fine by me. I'd hate for us to be the type of fans who take what we've now got for granted. 

I do wonder if ASM's unpredictability and high risk style of play impacts Targetts ability to attack. 

Must he really difficult playing behind him knowing he's not gonna track back if you commit to an overlap and when he loses the ball as often as he can.

Should 100% sign him. 

Yeh what was the context of the Mourihno quotes the other day?! 

Why was he chatting about us?

No one will convince me there isn't a top class player in there. 

Still no way near the levels he was but he was still very effective tonight.

We are gonna be a madness with better players

Phenomenal!

He’s 32…

Dunno why I thought he was 26.

Pukki. 

Seems to be criminally underrated despite him scoring consistently for Norwich in both season he's been in the PL. Clearly a very, very good striker. 

Great movement, great finisher, hard worker and still young. No idea why more team aren't sniffing around him.

I think most agree with that, it’s if Tarkowski would be first choice it would be an issue.

Can understand why people might feel this way, but after seeing Schär and even Krafth transformed I'd be content with on on form Tarkowski at the heart of the defence. 

Schär, Tarkovski, Burn and a money signing would be incredible depth wise for centre halves. 

Think people forget building a squad is more important than building a first team.

If it’s been sold to Bruno like that, we’re gonna be spending a shitload of cash this summer…forget all this 50-100m talk. 

Mad thing we could actually be a decent window away from being in the mix going by current form. 

One of the best things about this club at the moment. 

Love the player/fan interactions angle they take too, just adds another layer to it all. 

So uneccessarily aggressive 

Yeh, I'm aware of his disciplinary problems but he's got the type of fight in him that I like in a player.

He'll do well at a big club at some point. 

Would love us to take a punt on Morelos. 

Love a player who's tapped.
