Apart from him not being very mobile I would agree. That’s why I’m not sure he’d be our best choice. 

Why does he have to be mobile at all? The other two midfielders should be mobile. Who says all midfielders should be mobile?

He’d be great, but there are SO many decent players we can realistically get this summer once we stay up. It’s going to be a fun time! I’d personally love Antony here.

It'll be interesting to see how Howe wants to set up and whether it's with two 'attacking midfielders' as he is now or more of a double pivot.

Be amazed if it’s not 4-4–1-1 with both centre mids being loose all rounders.

From the little I’ve seen he likes to hold onto the ball and isn’t the most consistent. Just had a look and he’s been injured a fair bit this season n all.

From the Ashworth article https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10665443/Dan-Ashworth-wait-NOVEMBER-taking-Newcastles-sporting-director.html

 

Meanwhile, the club’s scouting team will hold a series of meetings this week to organise summer targets. We understand positions up for discussion are goalkeeper, centre-back, central midfield, winger and striker.

 

The goalkeepers mentioned include Arsenal’s Bernd Leno, West Bromwich Albion's Sam Johnstone, Manchester United's Dean Henderson and Chelsea's Kepa Arrizabalaga, although the latter is seen as a loan option.

RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol, the 20-year-old Croatian, will have no shortage of suitors but is expected to be part of discussions this week, as will Bournemouth’s Lloyd Kelly.

Midfielders under consideration are said to include Brighton’s Yves Bissouma and Leeds star Kalvin Phillips, with wingers Brennan Johnson, of Nottingham Forest, and Bayer Leverkusen’s Moussa Diaby also on the list.

In attack, meanwhile, Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Benfica’s Darwin Nunez, Leverkusen’s Patrik Schick and Alexander Isak of Real Sociedad are among the targets.

When you consider where we’ve been as a club in recent times, looking at that list of strikers and not viewing it as absolute fantasy feels outrageous ?

Only decent youngish keeper I can think of who doesn’t play for a monster club is Unai Simon but Bilbao have a different pull obviously.

 

How good is Etienne Green? Still got Woodman lurking too but he obviously wasn’t great at the start of the season.

 

I’d be happy enough with Dubravka as #1 again next season, plenty areas higher priority for me if budget is £50-75m + sales.

What an utterly uninspiring list of goalkeepers.

 

:thup: Leno and Johnstone arent good enough. Henderson I think is likely over rated based on his Sheff Utd season as he's not really impressed since though his opportunities have been few really. Kepa is the best of those 4 but probably not a fit for what we'd want.

 

Agree with Disco Simon would be a great shout.
