Jayson Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Not good enough for PL. They've rejected a few bids already too. Apparently rejected 12m from Burnely Why? Look at recent championship strikers when promoted to the prem: Troy Deeney 21 goals in champ, 13 in prem next season Ighalo 20 goals in champ, 15 in prem next season Vardy 16 in champ, 5 in prem (did alright the next season though imo) Charlie Austin 17 in Champ, 18 in prem next season Rickie Lambert 27 in Champ, 15 in prem Danny ings 21 in champ, 11 in prem Grant Holt 21 in Champ, 15 in prem Callum Wilson 20 in Champ, 5 in 13 in prem Andy Carroll did alright also.. For all those you get your Rudy Gestede's, Hernandez, Danny Graham's but the odds seem more the other way to me if anything. If they're younger & a finisher at Championship level, chances are give them chances & they will deliver at prem level. Certainly given time (which many promoted sides don't get tbf) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Lasted 7 games in the Premier League for Leicester with 1 goal. Leicester picked up about a month or two after he left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 No way we'll pay anywhere close to what Leeds want for Wood, that one is a complete non-starter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 A few photos on Twitter of Mbemba, allegedly flying out of Newcastle airport. Maybe one for the Twitter bollocks thread, but it's not totally unrealistic to think that we'd be open for him leaving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I'll be quite disappointed if Mbemba leaves, mind. Unless it's for a good amount of money, I'd much rather keep him for cover. I thought he's looked good, apart from the odd occasion, whenever he's been asked to step in, and he played well yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I really want him to stay, unless we definitely have a much better upgrade ready to sign up. Our cb's are fine, we just need to shift hanley - who will surely leave, as he's a canny cb for the champo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Thought he was sound when he came on yesterday and would be quite sad to see him go. However, if we could get good money for him we could replace him relatively cheaply with a player of similar quality and free up some funds to spend elsewhere. He's in the Mitrovic bracket of "would like to keep personally, but don't think Rafa fancies him at all". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Would be wierd to sell Mbemba if Lejeune's finished for a long while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 May be we have to sell Mbemba to fund other moves if the other players we actually want to get rid of can't be shifted. So even more reason to hate wasters like Riviere and Colback! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odear Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Our midfield offers no protection to the back 4, Spurs were playing right through the middle for much of the game which was worrying. As classy as Merino looks, he's not that type of player, if anything he could replace Shelvey in the team (hopefully). We still need to bring in a proven DM to be able to cope with the season.
