nbthree3 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Chronicle's taken it https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-sven-botman-ac-milan-24359942?kj= “Ultimately, Newcastle United’s great project, in combination with playing in the Premier League, was the deciding factor," he told De Telegraaf. “That last one has been a dream my whole life. AC Milan also gave me a good feeling, but Newcastle United felt just a little better in the end. "I really wanted to go to Newcastle United in January, because I also heard, and that’s a cliché, I know, that a train like this doesn’t pass by very often. But the clubs couldn’t figure it out. “And afterwards this might be better, because I can now experience a lot of preparation and I was able to say goodbye to Lille in a beautiful way. That club deserved it. Staying wasn’t a punishment for me in January either, because I knew there were two great Champions League games against Chelsea coming up."

DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I'm genuinely surprised that we managed to sign him especially with AC Milan showing interest. Last year Brentford were beating us to the signing of Ajer who was one of our main transfer targets. Now if we can bring in a striker or right winger, I'd consider this window as a success Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milanista Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) 9 hours ago, elbee909 said: Italian press meltdown incoming We are more concerned with Maldini extending with our new ownership or not. Botman was not seen as a priority among most Milan fans--the Tomori-Kalulu CB partnership was a frankly frightening combination. Botman needs time, I hope you give it to him. I also hope you buy Paqueta. Mostly for the sell-on clause, but also because he'd actually suit what Howe wants and I think he's a good kid, he deserves to be in a place that gets the most out of him.

After that post, I saw some more of Howe's tactics, and I wrote an addendum of sorts somewhere here, where I think Paqueta would actually work as Howe likes to have one of your CMs turn into a CAM as your 433 morphs into a 4231, which is what suits Paqueta the best.

I can't handle this Paqueta talk, I don't have enough underwear. I know the whole Bruno buddies is cool and all, but Jesus christ the link up play at Lyon, insane. Would be so much fun to watch week in week out and thats what we love attacking entertaining football, and with a solid DM covering him and Bruno we would be in for a treat!

He's a hard worker, fast, strong, gets stuck in--he's a great player. He should have done well at Milan, but we have this superkid named Yacine Adli and apparently we're going after De Ketelaere, though I'm a bigger fan of Adli. Maldini has re-signed with Milan, so that Italian arrogance from our press will be... overwhelming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
