Newcastle United transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

France has by far the best generation of under 23 year olds right now of all the European nations. It sums up our ineptitude in the transfer market when you look at some of the s**** we've bought in such a market.

 

Actually french speaking players of west African origins, whether they be french, Belgium, Senegalese, cote d'ivoire, etc. have most of the most promising players in the world.

If you look at players 24 and under for France;

 

Mbappe (18), O. Dembele (19), M. Dembele (20), T. Hernandez (19), Coman (20), Kimpembe (21), L. Hernandez (21), Martial (21), Lemar (21), Bakayoko (22), Mendy (22), Rabiot (22), Tolisso (22),  Laporte (22), Zouma (22), Umtiti (22), Digne (23), Fekir (23), Kurzawa (24), Varane (24), Pogba (24), Kondogbia (24).

 

That's just off the top of my head playing for big clubs - and doesn't include the likes of Kalidou Koulibaly, Raphael Guerreiro, Serge Aurier, Mario Lemina etc who were born/grew up in France but chased caps with other nations such is the competitiveness of their youth levels.

 

It's not just youngsters too. They are a breeding ground for late bloomers that can be signed cheaply. The likes of Kante and Mahrez were signed for peanuts. Gueye has dominated in midfield for Everton this season. Knockaert has stopped us winning the league this year.

 

Our failure to pick out appropriate talent from Ligue 1 and 2 when it's been our primary market is pretty comical, and Carr's heed should be on the block for that alone.

Agreed! France for me are the best producer of talent in the world game thanks to their African links as well.

 

After that who...?

Aye, it's the French players we buy that are the problem, not French players on the whole

Germany for me. It's very rare that they don't have a very strong national team.

How've you picked up on the wool insult? :lol:

 

Got a couple of mates from Birkenhead/Liverpool but I didn't actually realise Walters was from there until I saw someone post on Twitter after he scored past Liverpool the other week. Thought it was apt.

We don't ever seem to have any German players, do we? Who was the last?

I think it's probably still Hamman tbh. No one else comes to mind.
