STM Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I don't know how good Reina is these days but id love to see his elbows in a toon keepers top. A proper character/leader in the dressing room too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Carvalho being pushed heavily by some random website via my onefootball app. I wouldn't get excited just yet. He's more than good enough to play for any of the top 4. The only thing is the top 6 clubs mostly all have very good players in that position. Therein lies our chance.. assuming Ashley would approve a fee like that, which would undoubtedly smash our transfer record. (which is still set by Michael Owen?)

Mole_Toonfan Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Mangala again. Says they will let Iheanacho leave too: http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/newcastle-transfer-list-man-city-13103820 Why would they let Iheanacho leave? Sure they've got Aguero and Jesus, but Iheanacho has to be about as good third choice as you can possibly get? Considering their splurges already i wouldn't be surprised if they buy another forward for no reason what so ever. Same goes for Chelsea and Batshauyi.

Ryan Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Carles Alena linked from Barca B.... VI?! He's apparently the closest to Iniesta style wise that Barca have got on their books. That would soon change if he came here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Carles Alena linked from Barca B.... VI?! Silky left foot, but I'm always a bit wary of players of his ilk that make it big in youth football, where they enjoy oozles of space. I highly rate Benítez's eye for midfielders though.

Mole_Toonfan Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Carvalho is one i could actually see tbh, he's another one who was hyped as a youth and while talented he's stagnated to the point the CL clubs are no longer interested. The exact type of profile we should be looking to pursue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeloEmre Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Reina £5m Mangala £20m Carvalho £30m Batshauyi £5m (loan fee) If we sell for £30m we would still have about £40m to strenghten the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Would pass out in excitement if we somehow signed Carvalho and brought in quality like Iheanacho or Batshauyi Batshauyi looked like a clumsy oaf when he came on yesterday, i'd pass on him. Carvalho would be a coup. All the media coverage so far is most likely agents trying to sniff out a club who'll pay the asking price, we've always been a go to club for that sort of thing. I could see us paying over 20m+ for a player this summer.. but over 30? I doubt it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 You'd pass on Batshauyi which you're basing on him playing about 4 minutes at the end of a cup final when his team were losing and down to 10 men? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there's many a youtube video of him looking the business. And the result yesterday has nothing to do with my opinion.. he came on with limited time to try and rescue something for them, but instead could only bundle over Arsenal players or take up all the wrong positions in the few times he had the ball. Just suggests a lack of intelligence to me and for that reason i'd pass. Rafa knows best though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Just think it's a bit daft to say you'd pass on him because he gave away a couple of freekicks when his team were desperate to get the ball back from one of the best teams at keeping the ball and Chelsea were down to 10 men in a cup final so it was bound to be a bit frantic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 People turning their nose up at Batshauyi We're a f***ing newly promoted team ffs, we're not going to sign Messi. Batshauyi would be an incredible loan to pull in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I wouldn't be surprised if Batshuayi plays quite regularly for Chelsea next season. If they sign a Costa replacement there's no guarantee he'll hit the ground running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odear Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Chelsea were still in that game even with 10 men.. Costa was getting chances. Imagine that was us in a cup final in the same position.. like 5 minutes to go and we bring on someone who essentially helps the opposition run down the clock by pushing people over repeatedly.. they'd be getting ridiculed on here.. and rightly so. From his French clips he does indeed look like a powerful player, cut from the same cloth as Louis Saha maybe. It could take the lad a few years to get to grips with the PL though, something we wouldn't benefit from by taking him on loan for a year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could take the lad a few years to get to grips with the PL though. Other than the FA Cup appearance he has scored like nearly everytime he's played, he doesn't need to get to grips with it at all. He just needs more minutes, it's a bit ridiculous being so critical of him based on so little. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
