Yorkie Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Just comparing Ekitike and Broja on FBRef; goals, attacking performance, passing dribbling... Ekitike is more effective hands down, despite playing less football last season. Broja only beats him on pressing. Gouiri compares a lot better.

Would rather David than Ekitike, as I'm massively biased. Both would be super ? Very different players. I think David could play behind Calum or replace him. His stock has probably cooled a little too. Howe would be great for him though. If I have one criticism with David it's his work rate. I think that's due to the role he has been given rather than ability to do so. Lille were also the masters of not passing to him for the longest time. It's a miracle he scored as many as he did to this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 As I continue to pop in here for updates, I think I've come to a strange realisation that I'm not that excited about this transfer window. Ive been so detached from the wider footballing landscape the last few years that I don't know who the fuck any of our rumoured targets are. So I wouldn't know who/what I'm getting excited over. Shame really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see Ektitike having the same impact Broja would immediately. I'm going to trot out the ol "Broja is PL proven" line because I actually think it's relevant in this instance. Gouiri might fair better than Ektitike in the short term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

black_n_white Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Lingard might be a shrewd move, would be an upgrade on Fraser and Murphy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His wage demands might be high, but they could probably be accomodated into our FFP strategy. Still hope we can get in someone more in the mould of Ekiteke, but if not then Lingard would definitely give us some options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 “Newcastle set for January budget of £50m - despite another £140m allowed by FFP” Spent £92M, could’ve been a lot more had other deals come off. “Newcastle rule out summer spending spree with transfer budget likely to be less than £90m” On the cusp of reaching £57M before July, with another £26M supposedly on the table for Ekitike as well. Never change, Lukey boy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Here's a prediction. Lascelles will now ask to leave and will join one of the newly promoted sides. He's now 4th choice and our club captain. Something had to give. Reckon we will easily recoup 12m When that happens, we will dip back into the CB market but this time for someone young, very raw and on a loan or cheap deal.

His position hasn’t changed that much, surely? He’s still in direct competition with Schär for the right-sided place, but now won’t automatically slot in if the occupant of the left-sided place is out. I’d be surprised to see him go this summer, but wouldn’t be upset by it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think Lascelles is a decent squad player, but since he's probably one of our more saleable assets, it makes sense to cash in on him. Sort of similar to the Hayden deal. He never really let us down, just we had outgrown him, and I would say we are close to that with Jamal as well. We do need money in to fund some of the players coming in.

I think we're just keeping our powder dry on Lingard. Wait until later in the window, if it becomes clear nobody is going to pay him what he wants then we'll make contact again. Obviously if someone we really like is available in the meantime then we'll go for them instead but I reckon Lingard is definitely still on the shortlist.

Want too much wages relatively to their average ability. £200kpw for a tiny purple patch at West Ham over a 12 year career? No thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
