Lotus Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Thing about Abraham is that he would be relatively low risk. In that he's much less likely to flop/not reach potential as he knows the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) 3 hours ago, Holmesy said: Ekitike was going to cost around £20m if rumours are to be believed and a decent PL striker would probably set us back £30m. If we're after a Nunez-level striker you're probably looking at a total outlay of £100m but I doubt we will be. £50m doesn't seem unrealistic considering we paid £30m for Bruno I think the deal for Ekitike was agreed at over £33m. When you say decent PL striker you mean someone like Abraham? He wouldn’t be here for anything under £50m atm. Toney I suppose would cost less but is less of a player. My point is, we won’t be spending big on two players that play the same position this summer unless there is an exception.

I’m not sure we need as much as we thought especially with Eddie in charge. Yeah but Pukki won’t go anywhere and want to be a 2nd/3rd choice at this stage of his career, would also be a big wage for a player that’s on the bench most of the time.

ToonScotman Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I’d probably go all out for Patrick Schick or Nunez. Failing that maybe someone like Jonathan David, Simeone or Scamacca. Also like to see us sign either Nkunku or Pacqueta. Look at how much of an impact Bruno has had on this side. 1 or 2 superstars take this team into the top 8. Added in someone first team improvements in depth maybe CB or GK we have a solid solid team. Spend about £150M and get rid of some deadwood. Factor in that we have Tripps to come back too and undoubtedly Howe improves everyone of the players here and that signs from now until the first PL game of the season.

Guest HTT II Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, Unbelievable said: He’s not like i wouldn’t be opposed to signing him, but 60m seems a bit steep for what he is. For that sort of money I’d expect a good scouting network to come up with someone of a higher pedigree. World-class is stretching it given how few world-class strikers actually exist today, but he’s certainly of a high level calibre forward in that mould, to say otherwise would be wrong. He’s smashing it at Roma and would get 15-20 + goals at NUFC even the way we play now. He’s worth 60m IMO. I’d far rather we paid that for him than say the unknown Nunez, as exciting as he seems… Edited April 20, 2022 by HTT II Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) It's clear that getting a striker is going to be our big issue this summer. Not only is it the hardest position to find genuine quality in but its also the most expensive area of the pitch to buy. Getting a striker in nice and early will help our window no end. I'm not too worried about CB, CM or RW, I think their are numerous mouth watering options in those areas. If i was going to guess, I suspect we will take the low risk option, so someone like Toney. If any club starts playing hard ball over fees we should quickly move on, or at least put them on the back burner. Either way, this transfer window is going to be ace.

STM Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 There's no way we spend 58m on Paqueta though. They can have the same deal as we did for Bruno. Could maybe even throw in Miggy as a sweetener. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlies Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 For those that don't want the pain of the Chronic: Bruno Guimaraes urges Newcastle United to sign Lyon and Brazil ace Lucas Paqueta The Brazil international has been watched by Newcastle and others this season Newcastle United star Bruno Guimaraes has urged the Magpies to bring his "best friend" Lucas Paqueta to St James' Park next season. The £58million star is currently having a great season with his old club Lyon and Bruno would love to be lining up alongside him next term in a black and white jersey. Paqueta has been scouted by Arsenal and Paris St-Germain in recent times. Speaking in the club programme, Bruno was asked who he would like to see at Newcastle, and said: "Ah, Lucas Paqueta. He is my brother, my best friend and I really get on with him. "We have the same way of thinking, we are the same age and we were together every day - always talking to each other. He is a family member that football has given me. "And I hope that he's happy wherever he is. He's a great guy with a massive heart and people like that deserve the very best."

ToonScotman Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 To add to my previous post about potential superstars and to sign some added quality you just have to look at the likes of teams such as Leipzig or even wolves. Signing players from the likes of Salzburg or Liga NOS the talent is there at a small fee compared to some players already at a huge price these players should be scouted and identified. Luis Diaz absolutely killing it at Liverpool is another example of these leagues having players more than capable of stepping up. Also any player watching us should be chomping at the bit to sign for us and good riddance to the ones that rejected us in January. Would still love Botman as he clearly wanted to and still does want to come hopefully he doesn’t go to Milan though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 With the benefit of hindsight, Trippier, Targett, Burn and Bruno were all brilliant signings, at reasonable prices when you consider their respective potential ceilings. Wood too has played his part, but is obviously extremely limited. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 The vibe at the club is so good right now and the images and noise form the home games is so great that I imagine a lot of potential signings are taking notice.
