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

 

 

 

 

All of those would be amazing tbh - perfect window

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 ????????  Burn30    Targett27

                Lascelles29

                        

 

             Bruno25 Joelinton26 ?????

              Longstaff25 Willock23 

 

Almiron29                                 ASM 26

Murphy28                      (Anderson20)

?????                                   Gordon 22

 

                     Wilson31

                     Isak 23

                     ????

 

Out

Dummett (contract over)

Ritchie (contract over)

Lewis

Krafth?

Karius (contract over)

Manquillo 

Fraser

Gillespie (contract over)

Clark (contract over)

Darlow (Obligation?)

Hayden (obligation?)

Hendrick

M Longstaff (contract over)

Chris Wood (obligation)

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.

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.”

Seems a very exciting prospect. 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.

Enzo Le Fee also looks super tasty. Small but very agile and very skilled. Great vision and had very good defensive stats.

Dortmund to replace Bellingham supposedly

Doesn’t mean much coming from Murphy tbh 

Yes, would've meant more coming from Trippier given Murphy named Kevin Nolan in his all time 5 a side team :lol:
