LFEE Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 4 minutes ago, Jaqen said: Honestly Shelvey under Eddie has been better than Tielemans has been this season. Tielemans is a better player but they do have alot of the same weaknesses. Yep that was my main point. Wasn’t me not rating Tielemans but him and Shelvey lack the things we are needing to add to our midfield if Bruno and Joelinton are 2 of the 3. They also have similar strengths. Hence why they do belong in the same sentence together. Actually thought Tielemans was more dynamic when playing in Belgium the couple of times I saw him. Maybe it’s just the difference of intensities of the leagues but felt he’s went backwards particularly this last 12 months. Have a funny feeling Arsenal are having second thoughts about him now after initially being their No.1 target. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I never picked up on Tielmans being slow tbh, always thought he looked class every time I watched him. I guess people outside of Newcastle must think that of Shelvey as well though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which probably hasn't helped. Bruno is a year rounger for example with under 10k minutes played, Tielemans has 32k! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Didn't listen to it myself, but a summary from Jacobs: If Arsenal bid for Tielemans he'll go there but if they don't, us and Man United have made enquiries. The Ekitike deal is dead. We've walked away due to agent demands Howe made it clear that he didn't want to add any more than three or four, plus Targett. He thinks the budget is felixble and he wouldn't be suprised if it was anywhere between £100 million and £150 million. He'd like to see us sign Paqueta or Osimhen. A Broja loan deal would well work for both clubs, but the player may want a permanent move. Eriksen is waiting to see what Man United do. Diaby is available for a base fee of £35 million to £40 million (£50 million to £55 million with add ons), but there's been no progress as we're looking for a striker first. He think Leverkusen will sell Diaby this transfer window and PSG are big fans too. We aren't in a rush to sign a winger we'll only go into the market for the right player at the right price.

That last bit is very concerning if true, considering winger should have been the priority this summer. Fortunately Jacobs’s doesn’t seem to get much right.

54 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 To be honest, if we can get another quality CM and ST, we could probably make do with Almiron & Fraser for a season, especially with Trippier at RB for a full season. The other two positions are more of a priority imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraser had 2 goals, 3 assists in 27 appearances last season. Absolutely not. A CM is a medium term issue imo which we can sort next summer. A striker and wide player are massively important this window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegans Export Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I think the reason the £80-90m budget is probably accurate is essentially because many of the players we really want are currently CL-standard and want to play CL (or at least European) football. Obviously there are going to be exceptions like Trippier, Bruno & Botman but if we have our hearts set on the likes of Osimhen and Diaby then we're just going to have to wait. If I had to guess what our overarching strategy is, I'd say it's try and sneak into Europe with as little outlay as possible, then be prepared to spend big should those dream targets start to show interest in coming aboard down the line. We'd be in a better position to do that (FFP-wise) if we haven't spent a load of cash on players we like, but don't love. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) Fraser did well once he was fit and had a run of games. We absolutely need another striker, the difference Wilson made was huge far more than an upgrade on Fraser will have. If Broja can bring his early Soton form I’d be all for a loan/ option to buy. We could do with another top class midfield option. We’ve no idea how well Big Jo will find a second season in there (fingers firmly crossed) and there’s always a doubt about Shelvey while Willock has an awful lot to prove. Longstaff, I’m afraid he shouldn’t be anywhere near a starting place. We’re desperately short up front, there’s a real argument to say we need 2 forwards coming in.
