Sesko wasn't a regular starter last season. It was Adeyemi and Okafor starting upfront.

 

That's why his numbers don't stand out. He's stepping into the starting lineup this season and it's going to be his year.

 

I know that, I responded to gdm's post about his valuation being based on his performances in the Austrian BL and Champions League when in reality he hasn't done much yet in his career.

At that age you can't guarantee anything, but if the top clubs are all sniffing around, it will be for good reason. He obviously has a bit about him, it's not that different to Isak who had a slow season after a standout the season before. But clubs look at a player's attributes, and that's why the really highly rated younger players are never going to be prised out without a lot of money changing hands.

Yeah, against Bröndby in a qualifier. I don't see how that's relevant to my point.

I was correcting you but point is Friendlies mean nothing in adding to the guys price. Let’s get serious. It may draw eyes to the player even tho most big clubs have probably already got a phone book sized file on him but in no way does him scoring v Liverpool in a friendly add to his value. Don’t be silly 

 

as I said Almiron scored a double against a CL club. I’ll look forward to those £30m bids for him :lol:

Qualifiers are not Champions League football, get serious.

 

Almiron is 28 years old and everyone knows what he is ffs. :lol: 100% irrelevant to this conversation.

Almiron was a flippant example ffs I was taking the piss. The point remains the same. Him scoring again any opposition in a friendly means fuck all to his value. Scoring in a CL qualifier did far more for his value and profile than that goal the other night

Much easier for Seko to increase his value and more so put himself on the radar of bigger clubs because he's not played that many games considering he's 22. It was the same with Ekitike to some extent. One good season as a 18-23yr old can get you a big move, especially if it's one of your first playing in the top leagues.

 

Almiron on the other hand is much older and has played alot of games in the Premier League so him having a decent pre season does very little for anyone outside of us as Newcastle fans.

The thing is the idea that Ashworth can shut off the leaks just seems unrealistic to me. He has no control over agents and other clubs, and they are leaky the vast majority of the time. My feeling is that we're monitoring things and hoping that moves other clubs make free up a target. If that doesn't happen though we're not going to spend the money for the sake of it, we'll look to get a loan or two and wait until the next window to spend. I think the lack of leaks is likely more to do with not much happening.

 

Aye people have been claiming the Ashworth stuff for weeks now and we've seen nothing really materialise. I wish there was loads of deals going on and that are all being kept under wraps but I think it's a lot more likely we aren't really close to anyone right now. 

 

I really hope that we aren't so concerned about being 'ripped off' that we end the window underprepared though. Clubs generally don't want to sell their best players. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and pay a bit extra.

Nah, you were seriously comparing (twice!) Almiron scoring in a friendly to Sesko scoring in a friendly.

 

I'm out.

I wasnt seriously comparing at all (I mean I used the :lol: emoji both times) I was clearly taking the piss at the view scoring in a friendly matters because it’s honestly laughable. See ya :lol:

I know, I saw the previous post. But the thought did cross my mind when people were mentioning how much more they wanted Seko after seeing him against Liverpool and Almiron is the obvious (yet flawed) comparison.

Sesko is 19 years old, not 22.

Reports two months ago said we were interested in Neymar 

 

All shite 

A report stating someone whose a regular starter for Brazil wants CL football is not crazy to believe.
