Away Toon Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Newcastle and West Ham are keen to sign Union Berlin and Nigeria striker Taiwo Awoniyi, 24, this summer. (Sun) Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham have been told it will cost them £67m if they want to sign Uruguay striker Darwin Nunez, 22, from Portuguese club Benfica. (Express) Newcastle manager Eddie Howe says 25-year-old French winger Allan Saint-Maximin has a future at the club despite links with a move away. (90 Min) Newcastle have shown an interest in Juventus and Argentina forward Paulo Dybala, 28. (Corriere dello Sport - in Italian) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many possibilities this summer and good players available though, so it’s easy not to get to hung up on any one player at the minute.

Doctor Zaius Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Should have signed him in January.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxst Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 3 minutes ago, Doctor Zaius said: Should have signed him in January.. We tried, supposedly, but both he and the club turned us down.. “According to newspaper O Jogo, Newcastle had him among their January targets, and showed their willingness to spend €50m. That was turned down by Benfica, and the Magpies ‘admitted’ they could raise it to €60m. That still doesn’t convince the Eagles, who hope the player will be more valued in the summer. But that isn’t the only problem, as Darwin isn’t keen on the transfer either. O Jogo claims that the striker is not ‘seduced’ with the possibility of joining Newcastle and ‘denied’ the club. The fact the Magpies are currently trying to escape relegation is ‘seen negatively’ by the player. It’s said the 22-year-old prefers to wait for the summer, as he could have the chance of signing for a club of another level.” http://sportwitness.co.uk/player-denies-newcastle-magpies-not-seduce-despite-availability-spend-e60m/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 19 hours ago, Thiago said: I wouldn't prioritise current Premier League players. It's convenience shopping. If we look at Man City's most influential players in the last decade - David Silva, Vincent Kompany, Yaya Toure, Sergio Aguero - they were all imported. You'll need tot do some shopping domestically for the spine in time, but as we've seen in January you're getting so much more value abroad than you are in England. We have a solid core of reliable English lads, it's about adding those game changers. Hard disagree here. I do think we need imports but the likes of Sagna, Nasri, Cliche, Barry, Milner, Tevez, Lescott, Adebayor all helped get City to 4th and made other teams in the division weaker as a consequence. Aguero and co. join when they finish 5th and get them to 3rd then champions. Aguero, Silva and Toure don’t join a team in our position. I think the best strategy is to take the best hungry talent from the division that will join to take us to 5-7 and into Europe. As a core at least. And supplement with the best talent from Europe we can get. Zaha would be our best player and can play left or right. Suddenly we are a massive problem on the counter. I don’t think we have a solid core of British players. I don’t think any of them get much time in the top half of the PL except Trippier & Wilson.

KaKa Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Just now, ManDoon said: You don’t like Nunez? Nah, not you man. Nunez is the sort we should be after, although I do think he has done too well this year now like others have said, and so I think there'll be too much competition from more established clubs. It's the Zaha talk that has completely befuddled me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 8 minutes ago, ManDoon said: He’d be a starter here though. Where else would he start? He’s a possibility Think this would be one of the few advantages we'd be able to push. Teams like us, West Ham, Villa would be able to promise him starts. But we're now the only ones of that bunch who could realistically promise a sustained push towards CL. Just may not be as immediately close as West Ham. Assuming Chelsea do get shot of Lukaku he would likely start there. I actually think he'd get in at City, but that assuming they ever do decide to go back to playing with a 9, rather than just eventually playing a GK, De Bryune, then 9 tricky wide-players.

KaKa Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I honestly think you could find at least 20 better wingers in France that would be better quality players for a fraction of the price, in comparison to Zaha. We literally got ASM from there as a throwaway from Nice. I've seen people saying we should spend £75 million on Raphina, but again he came in from France for around what we paid for ASM. The lack of imagination is astonishing man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
