Fairly low outlay for a CB that's better than what we have and he's still fairly young at 24. 85apps in 4 years at West Ham so he's actually played more than I thought he had, always assumed he'd been 3rd/4th choice. Couple of goals along the way. He's a unit as well. Better than clark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
healthyaddiction Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I feel like we're trying to sign one top end centre back (Botman/Carlos) and one cheaper option (Diop/Phillips) with the players we're linked to. Would be sensible move. Too many of our centre backs aren't Prem quality but we're not likely to be able to afford two top end centre halves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) youtu.be/5gw-6UYxJQk Hadn't even thought of Tolisso. Some interesting picks in here, know very little about any of them though. Edited January 7, 2022 by kisearch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Remember us playing against them at home i think, with Diop in total control with me thinking that he was really good. Not sure i've thought/seen that much about him after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure i've thought/seen that much about him after that. Every time i've seen him play i've thought he was class, really dominant and totally in control. He's also huge, which is a bonus. Replacing Clark and Lascelles with Diop and Botman would be huge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emotic Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 It’s really typical Newcastle for us to be sat at the arse end of the table when everything should be in place for massive buys. Clubs worldwide are skint and tons of good players are at the tail end of their contracts this year. We’d be hoovering them up if we were mid-table. Now it’s geography and league position messing with players desire, plus our desperation messing with clubs valuation of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Could do with a couple more before Watford. Fingers crossed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Just now, The Prophet said: Could do with a couple more before Watford. Fingers crossed. I think 3 before Watford might well be the target. It seems they are furiously working on things. Centre back aside, it doesn't seem like they have prioritised any other position. Midfield and strikers have both been linked.

Dr Jinx Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Must be awful being an existing centre back for the club right now, we’re literally being linked with players in that position 90% of the window so far. We should try and swap Lascelles if we’re doing business with any other PL club. It would be good for him not being in a side where he has responsibilities, his goose is cooked here anyway.
