His last two seasons at Milan were a disaster. Schar is better. Average defender and you can buy better and cheaper. Buy you know Howe wants British or PL players.

Everton wants around £37m for Dominic-Calvert Lewin. What a robbery.

Great coach but a bad manager. He should stay away from the market. He knows only PL players and want inflated PL players.

You signed Isak, Bruno, Botman... But then Howe started to make the market and he knows only PL players. For the same price of DCL you could sign Zirkzee or Santiago Jimenez...

DCL isn't a bad player, but isn't a top 6 material. And he is overpriced and injury prone. The problem is always the same: Howe knows only PL players and want PL players. A manager never should make the market.

Howe knows only PL player. And he want to buy only PL players. A mistake when a manager make the market. Your fortune was the 2022 when you bought abroad.

Ramsdale is another waste of money. Pope is better. Newcastle made a fantastic transfer window in 2022, but then Howe started to make the market and acquire in the inflated English market. Howe wanted also Kelvin Philips, remember... Serius mistake when the manager make the market.

Howe is a good coach but a bad manager. He wasted crazy money and the team is not better than last year. He wanted overpriced PL players because he knows PL players. When a coach make the transfer market is always a disaster.

Phillips is average and is another waste of money.

You have two big problems: injuries and a bad summer transfer window. You wasted a big sum of money and the team is not better than last year. I don't know because you stop to buy abroad (Bruno, Botman, Isak... All great players at fair prices) and start to buy in the inflated internal market.

Great tactician but a coach should never make the transfer market. He make it and this year your market is average at best and very expensive.

In these games it is clear that you are missing at least a player with the X factor: a player with dribbling and skills who can scare defenses. You had ASM and you sold him for Barnes... And you lost money. Crazy.

Howe must swap Tonali and Bruno positions. Tonali in the center ahead of the defense and Buno on the right (or left). Tonali isn't a top and you have overpaid, but he is a good player, but you must use him in the correct position.

Why? I have only told my opinion. For me Newcastle lack: 1 winger with dribbling and skills + 1 physical defensive midfielder + 1 fast CB. But you are a good team, this is clear. But if you want to compete for the top you need 3 players.

You are a good team. But you always have to run at your maximum because you lack creativity in the final third. When your pressing drop, you are in trouble. You need a winger with dribbling and skills.

You are a good team. But you always have to run at your maximum because you lack creativity in the final third. When your pressing drop, you are in trouble. You need a winger with dribbling and skills (serius mistake sell Saint Maximin).

But now you lack a creative winger, with dribbling and skills. Because Gordon and Barnes are very fast and powerful but they need space. And Almiron is a good player but not elite.

Hall is a top talent. And at 30m is a steal. Newcastle is 3 top players away from competing for the the title. A LB, a fast CB (Tolibo for me is perfect for you) and a creative and skillful winger (serius mistake sell Saint Maximin; now you could buy Kudus).

Diaby and Doku are good players. A bit overrated, especially Diaby, but good. But to compete for CL spots Villa lacks a top striker: Watkins is average and they have only him.

Barnes is a good player. Very direct and powerful. But he is the same type of player as Gordon (Barnes is better). Why buy both and sell ASM? Now Newcastle lacks a winger with creativity and skills.

This is Howe.. Great coach, but you never must built a team on the market following the coach. Chelsea made the same mistake last summer with Tuchel. Newcastle had a top market last summer, but then spend 45m for an average player as Gordon and now this nonsense.

Good player. But ASM is better.

Sell ASM for 25 and buy Barnes for 38 is a joke. Newcastle has weakened the team and also has lost money. Absurd.

Tonali is a good player. And with Tonali in place of Longstaff you have a better midfield. This is clear. But is Tonali worth 70m? No. Because he has not the ceiling of Bruno or Isak. For me you could buy better and cheaper. Manu Kone or Kephrem Thuram for example.

Yes. Or simply don't buy Barnes. You have just buy Gordon and he has similar characteristics. ASM is a unique player. A player with the dribbling and skills of ASM is perfect for the CL, especially if you arrive in the knockout stages.
