He can play RCB so not impossible but pretty unlikely at this point I'd think. Maybe if we get the striker, right winger and Central midfielder we want, then managed to shift Clark, Fernandez and more dead wood in the squad. 

 

He would be an amazing addition and successor to schar/partner to botman. Don't see us spending that much though.

Atletico Madrid is desperate to offload Griezmann, let’s see how long it takes for media to link him to us.


31? Won’t happen even if they were going to spend those wages.

Just wait for the Griezmann signing himself for Newcastle on Football Manager new signing video. You’re going to look so daft.

Never rated Griezmann.


I know we’re aiming high but if 42 international goals, 100+ caps, and 159 La Liga goals in 387 games doesn’t please you then I think our recruitment team are in for a tough time. :lol:

I heard we're going to sign Alan Shearer, world record fee £15m (partly paid for by Newcastle Brown Ale). Don't laugh. It's happening. #ITK

There's been reports out of Germany from some good journo's that he wants CL football and isn't interested mind. There's only really Ben Jacobs saying that he is. 

 

I'm sure we'll have already sounded out his camp, if we intend on making a bid.

 

 

 

 

Probably similar to the reports coming out of Italy that Botman only wanted to play for Milan. Diaby might prefer a CL club all things being equal, but it might be those clubs can't meet the selling price. If we are the only club who can meet the terms, I wouldn't be that surprised if he said yes.

More stuff on Madueke from All Nigeria Soccer: 

Style of play 

“Madueke's style of play
A direct multi-angled threat in 1v1 situations, Madueke is a nightmare to defences thanks to his trickery, pace, ball control, flair and physical strength all working together.

 

In possession, Madueke often cuts in from the right flank with scary directness and ferociousness, working his way towards the opponents' box through the half-spaces where he may fire shots or put a teammate in with a sharp through pass.

 

Even with his back to goal, Madueke is confident in his ability to hold the ball and spin off the defender, instead of playing a back-pass. This ability makes him highly unpredictable.”


Their take on us:

Newcastle United
With the new influx of cash from their new Arab owners, Newcastle is an emerging force to reckon with.

 

With players like Allan Saint-Maximin, Bruno Guimaraes and Kieran Trippier, former Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has created an extremely attacking 4-3-3 set-up at the club.

 

Eddie Howe's 4-3-3 is however not based on **Juego De Posición as it is extremely free with players being able to interchange frequently.” 
 

They conclude, style of play wise, that they think he’d be better suited for Spurs (though would struggle for game time), Leeds or Leicester.
