He also said that we wouldn't have gone down under Bruce. :lol:

 

I'm not sure if he has an inside line at the club but I suspect not.

 

That said, I reckon we do like Paqueta but we won't be paying more than we did for Bruno and I suspect Lyon will want more.


Yeah when I heard that Bruce part I was like fuck off :lol: 

 

Yeah I doubt he has an inside line. Maybe at Lyon.

Still suffering from concussion Olivier me thinks.

I'd personally prefer we side a more sturdy central midfielder and get creativity in the form of wide players - ideally with pace.

 

Paqueta is a good footballer but I'm not convinced of signing that kind of #10.

I like the look of Paqueta, but I agree a combative midfielder like Amadou Haidara alongside Bruno would make us look very strong in midfield. As an alternative to Paqueta, but still creative would Fabian Ruiz of Napoli not be a more all round option in a midfield 3 ? I’ve seen him linked but maybe he would have CL teams after him.

Fabian Ruiz looks like an excellent little player.

Agree, people have said on here that Paqueta can play wide positions but his natural position defo looks like a #10 to me. We should prioritise a CM over an AM, along with RW and ST.

I think wages would prove an issue with him as he’s already on £50k a week at Lyon, if he’s happy with us doubling that then it’s possible but generally I think his agent would be haggling for more. 

I'm sure Bruno is on more than 100k, could be wrong. Offer him the same as Bruno.

We allegedly enquired about him in January, so it wouldn't be a massive shock if we went back in for him.

 

It'd be interesting to see how we fit him in though. You'd imagine Bruno would take Shelvey's position and Paqueta would come in for Willock.

 

 

 


We 100% need a proper number 10. I think that’s more imperative over spending millions on someone like Phillips if we had to choose between the two (given we’re going to have to spend a serious amount on a striker too) We already have Bruno and Joelinton and Shelvey who can sit. We need goals.

Bruno can sit but probably shouldn't given what else he has to offer. Joelinton can't sit, he's a destroyer not a DM, those are different. Shelvey can sit and is sitting but frankly doesn't have the energy or combativeness, so we need an upgrade.

 

I agree on the need for attacking options though.

Think Osimhen would be my first choice striker target this summer. 

 

Just watched a highlight video of him, and it really goes to show how much better we'd be as a team with a striker like that where the ball will stick when it's played up to him. Someone like him would be a massive upgrade not only in terms of goals, but also in the way we can play as a team when we don't lose possession 8/10 times the ball is played up to our striker.

Osimhen is absolute top tier. Would be amazing, but not sure it will be possible.

 

If we're talking Super Eagles though, what would people think about Iheanacho? Think we could get him off Leicester as he just doesn't seem to be a guaranteed starter over there. I've also seen Leicester are looking at forwards this summer and have been linked with Joel Piroe from Swansea.

 

Think Kelechi would be a fantastic signing.

Aye I like him a lot, don’t understand why he doesn’t play more there. And I’d love another Nigeria here after Oba!

Never even considered Iheanacho for some reason.

 

I think he would be a class signing, his passing is top tier for a striker and is also clinical in the box.

Yeah, I can't understand why he doesn't play all the time for them, especially when Vardy is out. Especially because he always produces goals and assists when he gets a run in the team, and he's also really versatile, as he can play as an out and out striker or a more withdrawn one. It's so strange.

 

And from a personal point of view, it would be awesome to have another Nigerian player in the team again for sure, and he'd be the best one to play for Newcastle by far.

I’ve got loads of Nigerian mates who are mostly Arsenal or Chelsea fans, but they like the Toon and one of their kids is at our academy so fingers crossed one day for the boy!

We supposedly bid for him in January and he was interested. Obviously hard to know what was true or false in January

Yeah, I remember seeing those reports about Osimhen.

 

I don't think he would be against joining us, but I just think once the summer roles around, if he's made available the competition for him would be really fierce.

I’m a big fan of Iheanacho, also a big fan of Piroe tbf. Wouldn’t mind stepping into that deal 

 

 

Never understood why more clubs weren't in for him, at the time he went to Leicester I was desperately hoping we were in with a shout. I didn't actually know that much about him other than he used to always find a goal as a sub for Man City. I assumed he was just a finisher, maybe the rest of his game wasn't up to scratch.

He's actually an excellent all around striker. Mostly came up as more of a number 10 when he was younger, which is why he is so technically good, especially in comparison to the typical strikers we produce. Both he and Kanu are the most technically gifted we've had upfront for the Super Eagles.
