Supposedly had 20m rejected in Jan - think we may get him for 25m

Chelsea have the biggest interest according to rumours, but also that the player wants to go to Barca. Can see there being a bidding war, which we wouldn’t get involved in. He’ll go for a lot more than 25m anyway- has a release clause of 100m I think (not that he’ll go for that much).

Think today showed we need another striker - having at least 2 available for every  game is going to be huge - Wilson was brilliant when he came on - however both him and Isak are going to have niggles along the way - my fear is we lose both - we are struggling

Someone told me yesterday that we'd turned our attention to Vitor Roque & that's why we haven't gone back for Pedro. He's no ITK so not sure where he'd heard or read it. 

Personality know very little about Roque apart from seeing his name mentioned on here. 

He’s the next Brazilian superstar isn’t he ?

There was an article from one of these online sites possibly last week saying we were very much in hunt for Vitor Roque. I think Nickson has also just been to Brazil, they’re definitely trying to do things there but Roque would be a sensational signing.

Does he play for Bruno’s ex club?

 

Could use Bruno to have a word

I think 4 positions are already nailed in terms of where we strengthen

 

LB

CB

6

8

 

Possibly 2 more as players we can develop but still have quality to come into the XI

 

On that basis:  how about 

 

Grimaldo - Free

Todibo

K Thuram / M Kone

A Scott

S Chukwueze 

Vitor Roque

I want Guler. So that list upsets me. Think we should try for Lavia too. Do want Roque though, and Scott.


And Guler too - the lust can always be extended you know

That’s good analysis and a great shout. I think we’ll look to add another young forward too.

Not with a limited budget, not to mention the limited amount of squad places.

I think Vitor Roque is that young CF that we have wanted in the kind of J Pedro/ Hugo Etikite mould - if we don’t get Vitor Roque then I think we’ll go back in for Wor Hugo

He’d only be £4.8m, and wouldn’t take up a space due to his age?

Think Guler would be closer to ten times that amount.

He has a clause for that precise amount if he doesn’t play a certain amount of minutes this season. Which he’s nowhere near getting.

The clause has been reported as  staggered I think - rises to 20 million euros after 1500 mins?

Yeah, think so, but he apparently has to play nearly every single minute for the rest of the season to get past the £4.8m clause, if he can at all.

Don’t know how accurate the figures are, but this says he’d played 964 mins on 27th April. Haven’t checked how many games are left etc, but a load of sites say it’s unlikely he’ll make 1500 mins. 

 

“The most important one for Newcastle states that if Guler plays less than 1,500 minutes in a season, his release clause will plummet to just £4.5m. The teenager has clocked 964 minutes so far this campaign and he must play the vast majority of the remaining minutes available to avoid Fenerbahce losing him for a cut-price fee.”

2 of the names that are being consistently linked are K Thuram and Diaby and I'm a fan of both but would it not be a better plan to unite the Thuram brothers as Marcus is on a free and could play the goal scoring wideman role. I think Diaby is the better player but for the price difference may be something to look at

I think we have our sights set on Vitor Roque - put it this way I am confident that the club has there man lined up already - just waiting for our league position to be confirmed
