HaydnNUFC Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 2 minutes ago, toon25 said: An injury Wilson away from another relegation battle imo. Aye. Last season Wilson's goals, Willock's goals and ASM's performances kept us up. 2019-20 our defence more or less kept us up due to the goals they scored ( ) plus some defensive tendencies instilled by Benitez were yet to wear off, hence why shocking performances mainly at home tended to be ground out to 0-0 draws particularly against the dross. We've stood still with Willock coming in but at least that gaping hole in the midfield has been filled. Plus I love the lad and its nice to actually feel something when watching us.

If we think a player is good value even if it’s not particularly cheap, they’ll try and do it. Similar to Lewis last summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbthree3 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Yeah was the Athletic too. We might not spend £5m on 3 players, but can spend £20m on 1 player if it's "the right one" in their mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Pleased, but this should have been done weeks ago. Especially with Arsenal hardly asking for silly money. We’re still only back to the squad we ended the season with too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird that that turned out to be another fat dollop of bullshit. Bruce handsomely backed again. Poor bloke. Absolute miracle worker mind, keeping this squad up.

Pilko Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Excellent signing if it gets done and I think great value at the £20m-ish quoted. Of course, Charnley and Co will love the fact that they can dress standing still from last May up as ambition to plenty of match-going divvies.

Kanj Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Would be nice to get another #8 like Dennis Praet who is a good passer of the ball and can press. Wish we’d sign another wingback and striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 1 hour ago, SEMTEX said: I mean, obviously we're a shithole club, but he knows what he's getting. Theory will be 1-2 years of first team football, then sold to Everton/Tottenham/Chelsea for 50m quid, with zero chance the club stands in you way when you ask to leave. 100%, at just 21 years old he will know it's an opportunity for him to showcase himself and get a much better move, or if it goes badly he'll still be young enough to get out and get back on track in a couple of seasons.

KaKa Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Okay, so seemingly the club will spend decent money on players in this age range as they have now shown with Joelinton, ASM, Willock and Lewis. Why is it seemingly so hard to identify more players in this range that the club can go for and in positions where we are in need, and why does it always take so bloody long. It's so infuriating honestly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Its a great signing for both us and him, he fits well into our system but i just hope we don't put too much expectations on the kid, he was one of the best players in the league towards the end of last season but he still has a lot to learn and hopefully he will continue to produce once he joins us permanently.

nufcjmc Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 He becomes a big fish in a small pond or chance to be while at Arsenal he is another talent youngster to come off the bench. Still thought he would have better options but you tend to enjoy your football when things are going well and he was golden for us that have season may have been the deciding factor.
