Newcastle United transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

FFS, just sick Riviere and Haidara in the reserves. They're gone next year anyway. Even if they move we'll be subsidizing their wages so the saving is probably completely minimal.

 

Riviere's until 2020.

 

Nah, gone next summer.

His contract length was only announced as a "long term deal" by the club, don't think it has ever been confirmed.

For a club that has a reputation for being tight fisted we hand out some pretty lucrative deals to unknown players.

A tight fisted Premier League club is incredibly rich compared to the average La Liga or Ligue 1 club

Perez looks more than okay to me. Quite pacey and good technique, though maybe not the strongest. He might combine quite well with Gayle.

 

What Wenger is looking for is a striker with the power to hold the ball up well under pressure and finish chances in a lone, central role, but also possess the technique to contribute to their tippy-tappy build up. There are only a handful of strikers who can do both to the ideal extent, and Arsenal haven't had the financial muscle to land one.

I'd be extremely happy with either. Perez is more likely given Atleti's current 'transfer ban' and the fact Correa is highly rated and a lot younger. Similar build to Ayoze so can't see him starting up top. In behind Gayle, though. :fwap:

 

No way we get him but it's nice to dream.

It actually annoys me how little the local journo's know about our deals but pass off to their followers that they do.

Isn't Perez wanting away from Arsenal in a strop because they gave 'his' #9 to Lacazette?

 

I think more that they didn't play him ahead of the strikers they already had and they sign another for 50m rather than anything to do with a number

In that conversation Lucas, who was left out of Arsenal's pre-season tour squad with a view to securing an Emirates exit, told Law that he felt "cheated" and that seeing the No.9 shirt handed to Lacazette was “the final straw” and “an ugly gesture”.
