Newcastle United transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

So..

 

Colback - Jun 2019

Hanley - Jun 2021

Saivet - Jun 2021

Lazaar - Jun 2021

Murphy - Jun 2018

Krul - Jun 2018

Riviere - Jun 2020

Haidara - Jun 2018

 

So, if we can't sell them theirs a ton of dead wood earning millions, all using squad places.

 

You've got Riviere wrong, he's up next summer.

Seen a fair bit of Rolan going back a few years, really liked him at the beginning but he's lost his way since being asked to be the main man at Bordeaux after Diabate went.

 

He always seems to be better when played in a two up front rather than leading the line alone, although we could still hold interest because he's a real Swiss army knife forward who can play to a similar standard out wide as well (on either side). Will work hard and make a lot of diagonal runs to join in, has a bit of pace and isn't the worst dribbler.

 

Still, he would be uninspiring based on last season's form, but would plug a gap and effectively take up the Gouffran role. He retains a fair bit of upside, but doubt he'd be considered an automatic starter or serious competition for Gayle immediately.

If we end up with Rolan as our main striker we are in trouble

 

We won't, we have Gayle.

 

Who is relatively still unproven at PL level

Not really, he's a proven 1 in 3 PL goalscorer while never being the main striker.

His goal record for a striker who is consistently played through the middle is a bit shit, mind.

 

Well I mean 10 goals in 36 games last season looks ok.  But better when you see it was 1765 minutes total (so basically just under 20 full matches).
