Away Toon Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Newcastle want to make Brentford's Christian Eriksen their 'flagship' summer signing and will compete with Tottenham, Everton and West Ham for the 30-year-old Denmark midfielder, while the Bees are keen to extend his contract in west London. (Northern Echo) Both Arsenal and Newcastle are linked with Lyon midfielder Lucas Paqueta, 24. The Brazil international was previously linked with Paris St-Germain and has a price tag of around £58m. (Chronicle) Newcastle are poised to sign 17-year-old Irish defender Alex Murphy from Galway United. (RTE) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRC Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I've seen a lot of people saying he's over rated and can just bully the defenders in that league. I don't know how true that is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly can't see anyone beating us to Paqueta if we are seriously interested. Him and Bruno are practically joined at the hip. If we're talking Lasse Eriksson, the Swedish goalkeeper who was backup to Thomas Ravelli in the 1994 World Cup, I'm affraid he's retired Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe even go for a loan if there’s a quality striker available and then put the money elsewhere. Having said that, I wouldn’t be disappointed if we got Nunez. Don’t think he’s within our reach. Maybe if no other clubs are ready to pay the massive fee. My gut feeling is that he might flop in a much better league. I know he has proven himself in the CL but it could also be a purple match at this level due to short term and crazy confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Jonathan David would suit the mould we’re after. Exciting, young, potential to improve a lot under Howe and probably not quite at the level (yet) where the top four are looking to sign him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye he does look like a great finisher mate. It's just that his technical ability and first touch hasn't really convinced me at all times. I've read from other people that he's a bit clumsy and iffy in general play. I haven't seen this that much lately though, so it could be confidence related. Like i said i obviosly wouldn't be unhappy if we somehow managed to attract him. But i'd still be concerned paying say 70m for him. For all we know his CL run might not be what he's able to deliver long term. I'm by no means sure that he'll flop, but it's a lot of money with some question marks. Could be my gut feeling too.

bowlingcrofty Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Given (a) the price tag with potential FFP limitations and (b) the fact some of the biggest teams in Europe want him, I think we can safely put the Nunez chat to bed. He won’t be coming here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 If Botman is around 40m to 60m and Paqueta is around 60m thats gonna be a massive chunk of our summer spending. And its not including the RW or Striker we need. Mandy is gonna have get working on those sponsorship deals i think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
