I doubt he's genuinely interested to come here though. PSG and Bayern will match our offer the second we bid. You never know though, might fancy the premier league.. he plays as if he's a fan of Ben Arfa These are his quotes from last month: “Paris is my training club, the club that taught me everything. I do not rule out a return. If the PSG is brought to contact me, I will think about it as for any other club. Yes inevitably the upcoming World Cup will be a factor for the transfer window. It will be a difficult choice but for the moment I am focused on the France team and I will settle down afterwards with my family and my agents. “ “It's true that in my thinking I would like to join a club that plays the Champions League and the big games. I'm going to think about it but I'm focused on the France team and we'll see later. “ Like how you’re the only person direct quotes in from the player and everyone chooses to ignore your post. I’ve read countless times he wants champions league football, also read quotes from him saying this year is all about France (the chronicle also reported that and they always put a positive spin on Newcastle stories).

Nun tumblers Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Just shows how far this club has come in a few short month.i don't want Lindgard...gummy bear 8m pay off and still slagging the toon total disgrace of a man. At least the money obsessed fat dinosaur Ashley wanted what was best for his bank account happy days at the toon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal was a fabulous performance, but the next game against Burnley wasn't. We went 2 up against a team fighting for survival. Same with Brighton when people were saying we got battered, completely removing the context of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee_Johnny Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Noa Lang linked with this left winger/forward today. Was at Ajax Youth with Botman. Guessing there would be no point; unless ASM is off somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 8 hours ago, Dr Jinx said: While I fully agree with you, I think the way they are going is identifying positions methodically.. the midfield currently is a known quantity and they can do better. You stick someone like Diaby up in the wide right forward position and suddenly all sorts of space starts opening up in midfield. We didn’t even have Wilson for basically most of that good run but when he did come back we looked sharp up front. Wide right is the main problem position, everywhere else we’re not too bad for the moment. I think this is definitely key, there’d be loads more space for the current midfielders to run into with a proper RW opposite ASM on the other side and with Wilson up front.

Chris_R Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I'd take Lingard on £50k+good bonuses, on a 2 year deal. He'd be a decent option. Sadly it sounds like he thinks he warrants 3x the wages and twice the contract length. If that's the case he'd become a millstone around the club's neck after a couple of seasons like Nicky Butt, Geremi, Alan Smith etc who all came to us for "one last payday" and stopped way beyond where they were even remotely useful, yet continued to bleed us dry. No thanks. We're headed in a different direction now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Lingard isn't needed, we looked desperate for any goal threat in January but Howe set us up to pinch results without one. Now we're in a better position we can get a proper RW and ST. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I would be in dream world if we got Diaby. I just can't see it. Bailey's article says £40m could do it. That seems too low, realistically it would surely by closer to £50m. Hudson-Odoi would also be a great signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Diaby would be an incredible signing - but I'll believe it when I see it; I think the lad will end up at a club already at the top. To even be in the conversation though - fucking hell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
