Manxst Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 If Jephcott came to Newcastle, he’d just be the next Toney- be farmed out, never utilised, and sold for peanuts a few years later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWN Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I've been told by two different people (one close to the player and one close to Argyle) that Luke Jephcott is on his way up to Newcastle with a view to signing for us. He's only 20 and has 13 goals for Argyle this season. Not saying it is definitely true and I have no contacts or inside knowledge of Newcastle but just passing on what I've been told. Ignore this, I've had my pants pulled down. Argyle are away at Sunderland tomorrow (I didn't realise) and I was told "he's on his way to the North East and Newcastle are keen to do a deal". So basically he's in the Argyle squad travelling up and Newcastle like him but nothing remotely imminent. Apologies for the bad information!

midds Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 The stats I could find put his conversion rate at like 40% which is still really good. 15 in 22, 3 as sub and they are 15th, that's exceptionally good still Never mind all that nonsense, can he do the basics? Can he show up? How far can he kick it? Can he post it and stick a foot in? Can he stand up? Be counted? These are the issues Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the issues I did hear that he doesn't pass the ball or get involved, patchy at turning up too. Would not sign But what about pride? Does he show pride?

He's a pretty awful player like, I can only assume we are looking at him because he can actually run and close down a player. Can't do much else mind.

He's a pretty awful player like, I can only assume we are looking at him because he can actually run and close down a player. Can't do much else mind. We won't be creating much for the rest of the season. At least someone with energy could potentially give us more control and get ASM on the ball more.

stozo Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Erdogan’s club linked with Krafth https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9165977/Newcastles-Emil-Krafth-STALLS-2-7m-Istanbul-Basaksehir-starting-against-Arsenal.html Madness if don't encourage him to go. He's no better than Manquillo and Yedlin. Grab the fee and get his wages off the books. Can't see us getting many more opportunities to get a decent fee for him - and in the worst case scenario you could see this becoming another player who we're loaning out and having to pay a portion of wages for.

That alone puts him at least on par with Hayden and better than the rest. Ha. I'd take a punt on him on loan, if only so I don't have to watch any more of Sean Longstaff giving the ball away 20-30 yards away from goal for the rest of the season. I doubt he is the long term solution though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Choudhury is probably better than everything we have in the middle right now tbh. Isn't saying much considering we have, collectively, the worst cm options in the premier league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Downie linking us with Choudhury on loan again. Think he’s going to be as good as we get isn’t he? About as much chance of us signing Anjem Choudary. Doubt we'll sign anyone. Maybe some really poor, last minute loan on deadline day, after we lose our next 3.
