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.

For Saudi media you have offered 95m for Kvaratskhelia. I don't know if this is true... If you can't buy Kvara, simply keep ASM and not buy Barnes. Or you will have a weaker team.

I am Italian and follow him every week. Tonali played for Milan 3 years. The first season: very bad. Second: great. Third: average. He is a good player. But not a top talent. He is not in the league of Bruno and Isak. For me you have overpaid: the fair price is 40-45m euro.

The only player that can replace (and improve) ASM in terms of skills, dribbling and creativity is Kvaratskhelia. Save the money and buy Kvara (non Barnes!).

Isak and Borman was last summer. A great window. Then in January, Gordon: why? And now this nonsense of sell ASM and buy Barnes.

I don't know why Newcastle stopped buying young talent abroad and started buying in the inflated English market. Is it because of Howe? Serious mistake to make the market by taking players the manager knows (you can see Chelsea last summer).

Hi! ASM is Newcastle most creative player. He can make mistakes but is a nightmare for defenders. Barnes is a good player but lacks the skills and creativity of ASM. And is similar to Gordon. A total nonsense sell ASM and buy Barnes. Newcastle will be weaker. The strategy must be buy youngs talents abroad (Bruno, Isak ecc.), not waste the money in overrated and expensive British players (Wood, Gordon ecc.).
