How on earth can a striker be your 5th choice for priority ?


He’s called thumbheed. He’s obviously channeling his inner Charnley.

Not 5th (no particular order) but slightly lower importance than the first 3 because I think improving in those 3 positions makes the biggest difference to us as a team.

 

Improving on Wilson seems slightly less of a priority than improving on Murphy/Fraser/Almiron, Shelvey and imo Dubs. 

 

GK is an underrated position and can have the biggest influences on the defence as we've seen ourselves with the clear difference Dubs makes when he plays over Darlow, improving on that seems to make sense to me, whereas injuries aside, Wilson will always bang the goals in given the chances. 

 

Edit: I do want a striker.

I’ve got to disagree, RW is massively important don’t get me wrong, but we can’t go into next season relying on Wilson again. A top striker has to be the number one priority.

Aye, don't completely disagree with that all tbf, but Dubs also spends a fair bit of time out and the alternative to him is Darlow who we know seems to have a negative impact on the team, whereas we've ground out brilllaint results without Wilson.

Next season starts on the 6th of August. That means we have to be quick in our negotiations in the summer window. 
 

waiting for the last day means losing at least 5 games. 

Why does it mean we would lose 5 games?  Are your balls rectangular by any chance?

Newcastle United want to sign 29-year-old Barcelona and Brazil midfielder Philippe Coutinho, currently on loan at Aston Villa.(Sport)

No thanks, Paqueta for me all day if we’re after an attacking midfielder.

We’re signing players on their way up, not those past their prime.

 

Will be staggered if that one is anything other than absolutely 100% steaming bullshit.

We just signed Trippier, Woods and Burn.

We should break the bank for a top centre back and striker this summer, after that I’d be happy with potential like Johnson and Hickey in other positions. This summer represents the chance to get a top striker like Nunez, Isak, Osimhen or Martinez. 
 

I’d love the likes of Diaby, Antony or Paqueta aswell, but they’d be an absolute icing on the cake signing if we get a top CB and striker.

 Burn isnt past his prime. Trippier is a full England international, leader and all around a great personality to have around the squad - he was signed for an initial £12m and is on under 100k a week. Wood was signed because of circumstance rather than on his individual ability, although he has done his job. 

 

Coutinho would want 200k a week and has been happy enough to take his money and sit on Barcas bench for the last 2 years, hes not the type of player/personality we will sign.

He was so anonymous against us mind…

Burn is older than Coutinho. Can’t you just acknowledge the other guy’s right and move on? :lol:

 

You just signed some guys to get you out of a tight spot. Sure, you will probably change your approach now, but that’s not what you said.

Howe doesnt play with a 10 though - so coutinho would be playing deeper.

 

Dont think he could play at his best in the hustle and bustle of central midfield.

 

If he moves to a 4-4-1-1  he might fancy Coutinho in behind the striker. That said, I don't think he fits the profile of players that we'll be looking at.
