Deuce Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I think Gayle has done all he can to prove he deserves the opportunity to be first choice in the prem. And if we can buy some goals from midfield then I would be more than happy to go with him as first choice. Trouble is, can we as a club afford to take a chance on his fitness? I think if we lost Gayle to injury then a Mitro/Peres combo could possibly see us through a few games, especially if we had a more creative midfield/flanks. So for me, while a top striker would be fantastic, I think we really need to strengthen our midfield and most of our resources should be spent there (and a CB). Maybe we could get a premiership standard Darryl Murphy for about 6 Million? Pipedream maybe, but if we managed to get Sigurdsson as a #10 I'd be comfortable with Gayle as a first-choice striker.

Ash Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Said this about Grosicki last week. Rinse and repeat again today, always the same from him. He's got plenty of talent but is infuriating with it. His decision making is wank and his final ball is really hit and miss too. Workrate is very impressive, usually struggles in the latter part of games due to how much work he gets through off the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC89216 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I think we'll see a more experienced version of Darlow come in. English hopefully. Darlow as the perfect #2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
astraguy Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4480968/Newcastle-considering-James-McCarthy.html Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez wants to revive a £20million deal for Everton midfielder James McCarthy if he gets the budget he wants from Mike Ashley this week. Benitez is due to hold talks with Newcastle's owner about summer recruitment in the coming days and could have his bargaining position bolstered should the club go up as champions after Sunday's match with Barnsley. The former Real Madrid and Liverpool manager primarily wants players with Premier League experience to maintain momentum next season and has targeted McCarthy plus Stoke captain Ryan Shawcross, Jay Rodriguez at Southampton and Tom Cairney at Fulham.

Sho Time Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Would be really happy with McCarthy, £20m seems extremely steep given he's seen f*** all game time this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 It does sound odd but we'll break it 2 or 3 times this summer. £70m plus money from selling Hanley/Mbemba, Lazaar, Mitrovic, Sels and Krul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I think James McCarthy is guesswork based on our previous interest in him and 20m is way too much for a player not in their first team. 14m would be a reasonable fee. All things considered I'd prefer Cairney. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 £20million. See he's only played 13 times this season; take it he'd have been first choice if not for his hamstring problems? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Just because they are asking for £20m doesn't mean anyone will give them it. They'll probably sell for around £15m if we actually want him badly enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
