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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Manxst Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 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.” https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1763432/newcastle-united-wilfried-gnonto-arda-guler?int_source=amp_continue_reading&int_medium=amp&int_campaign=continue_reading_button#amp-readmore-target Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon1892 Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 With a 25 man squad next season I think it will be as below. Fortunately Anderson doesn’t count again towards a squad number. I think the new gk and forward will both be young(ish) upcoming players around 21/22. Pope 30 Dubravka 34 ????? Trippier32 Schar31 Botman23 ?????? Ashby21 ????????

Guest Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 I'd be very concerned about the right-back position there. If we could get someone like Hickey who would probably be good enough to be first-choice LB already but is equally comfortable at RB, we'd be laughing.

Yeah, everyone expects us to sign a LB but to me RB is far more a priority. There is just no depth in quality there at all, if Trippier goes down the other choices are of an unknown quantity where as LB is far more consistent between Burn/Targett.

Hopefully we get our Arda this time around. Seem to remember we were linked with Arda Turan from about 2008 to 2011 until he eventually went to Atletico Madrid.
