Jackson would be a cheap alternative to Sesko, probably not much between them right now

Samu from Porto ?

£50M on Paqueta is a gamble.. especially when you have Tonali already

If Sesko is Man United bound time to move on to.. Top targets ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Victor Osimhen: (Has he signed for Gala yet?) Samu Aghehowa: Probably one of best other young strikers Victor Boniface: Leverkusen were going to sell him in Jan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Good options for 2nd striker ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Nicolas Jackson: Chelsea want him sold, £50M would do it. Loïs Openda: Might be tough if they are already selling Sesko. Moise Kean: He's improved, but how much? Darwin Nunez: He's availiable, I still believe there's a player there. Gabriel Jesus: Worth a punt on a cheap? Christopher Nkunku: He's for sale.. Dušan Vlahović: Juventus want him out before his contract runs out. Yoane Wissa: Will Brentford play ball? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bottom line.. no need to panic, there's still plenty of strikers availiable and on the market. It wont be Sesko or nothing...

Van Hecke is a pretty good signing. Two giant dutch bastards for CBS

Need to try get double deal with Leipzig for both Simmons AND Sesko.

Ohh Jackson would be a good buy for Newcastle given your playing style..

What good is 150 M when other clubs like Chelsea just hoover up all the talent anyway? Need Sesko (80) - but again, why would they sell for cheap knowing Newcastle would be desperate? and another big signing like Morgan Rogers (90M+)

I really really really don't get why Liverpool would STILL go for Isak when they have Etitike.. Doesn't make sense for any party

Really unlucky Newcastle has to compete against so many good teams. They could win Serie A level league, probably

TBH he will start as a 9 for Chelsea, would have just been Isak's sidekick or back up at Newcastle.

Caicedo injured, they're fucked vs PSG/Real without him

As a total neutral, wouldn't it be good if Sunderland was a decent team and you had a nice rivalry going on? Seemed a bit once sided recently...

Nwaneri is a CAM or RW Infact he kind of already has copied Saka's trademark cut in and left foot finish. Arsenal fans are hoping he'll take up Odegaards place.

Yep! Saw it reported widely at the time, that's why they got them relatively 'cheap'. Seems no one else mentions it nowadays though.

I don't think people realise why Chelsea are signing so many players (spending money) It was part of the take over agreement from Abramovich, they had to spend an extra £1 billion within a certain time frame. So instead buying a new stadium, they are spunking it on players on long contracts for re sale value. Once they hit the figure, they will probably act like a normal club.

They need a league wide Financial Fair Play ruling on what can be spent, and not linked to income if they want to be fair. The smaller clubs can naturally then put more money in to close the gap and spend their capital, whilst the top teams can work to bring down wages and fight back against player power.

Can't you sell your womens team to yourself for 100 mill?

Shame that. Think he will do well whevever he goes.

Some smart targets, from Brighton.. They have stockpiled a lot of good players recently and are due a churn out. How about Tariq Lampety (contract expiring), good right back option. Julio Enciso. Was their most talented player a year and a half ago, fell out of favour after an injury, still only 21, could be transformative for a decent price now. Evan Ferguson. Great talent at one point, also fallen down the pecking order recently, loan out to West Ham didn't do anything, still super young and they might be willing to cash out now. Decent option for back up striker.

Danilo was one of their best players too before his injury.

How much do Newcastle have to spend?

Surely Trafford is one of the few goalies who could still reach World class level? he's still only 22 and conceeded 16 goals this year.

Shame we didn't get PSG vs Barca final. That is the best one for a neutral. Ah well
