nufcnick Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Perfectly explains why selling Miggy this window will open up lots of ffp room https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/newcastle-miguel-almiron-gibbs-white-transfer-2872858?ito=copy-link_share_article-top Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While also meaning we don’t have any fit RWs. So we sell Miggy and spend £50m on Onana or MGW. That covers their cost for 6/12 months only. And we still don’t have. An actual Miggy replacement.

That’s too light. And only 1 is a natural RW. And he’s not top 8 quality if we are being real. If we sell Miggy, we should replace him. Our problem is that we have 6 first team CMs (which is good) and only 2 are fit. 2 will miss the whole season. So we are desperate for another. But we have no PSR headroom. No valuable fringe players. So we will have to sell a valuable player to buy another valuable player.

No valuable fringe players. So we will have to sell a valuable player to buy another valuable player. 3 wingers for 2 places is preferable to 3 (maybe 4) CMs for 3 places. I think between Barnes, Murphy, and Willock it's also fair to say Willock carries the highest risk coming back (which is why I said maybe 4). If we don't sell Miggy and/or bring in another CM then I think it's likely we end up with Gordon or Miggy (or both) in the midfield at some point this season. None of this is ideal of course, but I can definitely see why we'd entertain the idea of selling our first choice and only fit RW to improve the midfield situation (and get younger).

lovejoy Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Is the plan to play mgw on the right? Or at least have the flexibility to do so? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Miggy out for MGW is a strong move even if it left us a bit short out wide. I'd get Minteh back if we could too, even at a small cost. We'd be overall stronger and younger and it would have brought forward a large amount of what would happen in the summer anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGW seems to tick the Howe versatility box as well of being able to play as an 8-10 and rw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
