Kamaldeen looks like an exciting signing but he's a right footed left winger which doesn't appear to fit with what we're after unfortunately. 

Isn’t this exactly what Harrison is?

For 13 million he is worth the gamble imo, especially if it's him or nobody.

Aye, would definitely go for Draxler then. Even when I played, I was quite rubbish and was certainly not a winger.

The lad threw his career away just to live in Paris. Slow for a wing- option- so I’m not sure where he’d fit -but there’s still quality there. Great price as well.


he’s been playing more as a wide playmaker than a conventional winger. He does not have the pace or dribbling you would expect from a winger, but he he does well with his vision, passing and playmaking. He requires a different system in order for him to play well.

To be honest, I think his personal life may be a signficant factor here. 'Tis said that in 2019, he split up from his childhood sweetheart / long-time girlfriend, and not long afterwards, he began a relationship with a professional dancer / choreographer. I wonder whether she would want to move from Paris to the North East - no comment on the advantages of living there, but professionally and personally it could be an issue.

Draxler is an Everton/Hamez type signing - big name, been shite for ages, big European club looking to get rid with very few takers
 

Not that it’s going to happen, but I’d be very confident he’d be crap for us if it did.

His stats are pretty poor. He's played 52 games in the last 3yrs at PSG, which in itself isn't very good but then add to the fact in that time he's only scored 6 goals and made 8 assists.

 

Even for 13M I'm looking at that and thinking why would we want him other than because he's been at PSG and is a reasonably well known player.

 

I do think we do need a "name" player, but perhaps not this summer and certainly not Draxler.

I've decided now - the three signings I want to round the team out before end of transfer window most now. 

 

Sesko, Kamaldeen and Pacqueta 

I would also keep Anderson

 

Gives us serious strength in depth up top, and would future proof the team as Anderson, Sesko and Kamaldeen wouldn't need to be registered. 

 

Would bring the total age way down of the squad…


Captain Pedant says No!

James was good for Everton

Lyon are the only ones making noises about him leaving, don’t think any club has made a serious enquiry this summer

Lyon do appear to be truly desperate to cash-in.  I know he's the dogs bollocks according to all fellow NUFC supporters and he plays videogames online with his mate Bruno G after meeting him for stotties and a pint on the Quayside - but there is that paranoid part of me that wonders why they appear very happy to sell, yet there isn't a shitload of suitors queuing up?

 

I'm not suggesting he isn't lightyears ahead of Longstaff, of course.
