Newcastle United transfer rumours in the press

[Guest firetotheworks]

£20m for an established premier league striker who'll get around 10-15 a season, in January, from a team in a bit of a free fall is absolutely fair enough. It's not Watford's problem that we're stuck in the pre-Chelsea/Man City era, never mind the pre-TV deal era.

 

I can bet with you that if you play Mitrovic you will get the same amount of goals. After all, he scored 9 in his first season. Deeney isn't better than Mitrovic and we need someone else.

 

Well it's a hypothetical bet because it's never going to happen. We're not going to spend what's needed to get a better player than Deeney, like.

[alexjack]

We should bring that damn Boakye guy that chronicle talked about last month and end this soap opera. If Ashley can't buy us a proper striker than he can bring anyone he wants, it really doesn't matter at that point. We're not going down 100% without a 20 mil striker, but we'll struggle.

Hopefully we can loan one. Slimani is probably not going to happen, but someone like Remy maybe.

[Ankles Bennett]

I'm sure I read somewhere last season that  Watford slapped a transfer fee of £35m on Sweeney.

But spending 20mil on a player like Deeney? Come on, that's same as Andy Carroll to Liverpool for 35mil. Waste of money.

[HaydnNUFC]

We need a striker with pace besides Gayle. Deeney, whilst he is someone I would probably take as he's better than nothing, lacks speed.

 

Been waxing lyrical about either Batshuayi or Sturridge on loan until the end of the season. But if the fat bullheaded t*** who owns us wouldn't sanction Tammy Abraham on loan he isn't going to sanction players like those 2 is he.

It's not though. Unfortunately in 2018 that's what £20m gets you. Look at all of the other £20m transfer fees for attacking players in the last couple of windows and tell me which ones you'd consider to be worth it. I'd probably fail to pick a single player using the pre-TV deal transfer scale.

[Unbelievable]

People needn’t worry. There is no way Ashley will sanction spending 20m on a player, never mind one older than mid twenties. I’m pretty much resigned to us not spending at all this January bar maybe the odd fringe player on loan. Ashley will happily gamble with the future of the club once again in the hope Rafa keeps us up so he can go back to asking 400m for us.

 

Howay Amanda, save us from this bloody nightmare please!

That's what media wants you to think. You have a lot of good strikers for 8-13 mil that could easily score 10-15 goals. It's just everyone is saying that we need ''proven PL''. We don't. ''Proven PL'' striker will only cost more money than any other and probably won't score as many goals as we want. At this point we are in a situation where our scouting system is terrible. You can easily do the research too and find striker that will score 10-15 goals and cost less than Deeney.

[Unbelievable]

Go on then

No, you don't. That's my point. All proven PL striker are playing in PL, right? So, we are buying not needed strikers, so that means that they aren't worthy of playing in PL. Do you understand? No one will sell you their primary striker, everyone sells their 3rd of 4th striker, which isn't good for us.

[morla84]

Troy Deeney doesn't really get me excited, would prefer a pacey goalscorer but he's probably about as good as we can hope for. Doesn't he usually play in a front 2? Might be worth seeing him play with Gayle on the shoulder, rather than his back to goal as he has been lately.

Deeney and Gayle up front, might as well bring in Quasimodo as shooting coach.

[r0cafella]

Unsurprisingly frustrating we haven’t got anyone in yet given the predicament.

 

If Ashley gambles and does nothing this month it has potential to be his most costly mistake yet. Given the amount of screw ups during his tenure it would be quite an amazing error.

He has 14 games this season, 11 goals and 6 assists in league, 4 games 3 goals and 1 assists in Europa League and 2 goals in 2 games in Champions League qualifications, which makes total of 20 games 16 goals and 7 assists this season. Further more, scored 6 goals in 10 games for Czech national team. Is that bad?

 

Not bad at all, but hardly the cast iron guarantee for the 10-15 goals per season at this level, the goals we need to keep us up.

 

That's the same thing you could say about Vardy 5 years ago. We are really lacking pragmatism.
