Wolfcastle Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Love it. Even if its just innocent. Keeps the buzz from the other night stoked, going to bridge the whole week and game to game now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 100% certain that he would join us and I'm 100% certain we can afford him but I just don't think Eddie will sign players just because they are mates with other players. Maybe it will happen, but I don't think it's conclusive. Sure we went for him before Bruno and he wasn't keen. Guess he's a bit keener now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I heard he was having a bad season though. So not sure how I’d rate him currently. The last 14 years didn’t just kill my love for Newcastle, it also killed any interest I had in football. Just stopped watching games, so I’m now on catch up and trying to fathom out who the hell all these players are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, the Athletic said at the time we initially enquired about Paqueta, before buying Bruno. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Really interested/excited to see what we do in the summer. I think we'll probably see 4-5 new faces, with 1-2 of those being of Bruno calibre and others being steady improvements. I'm not convinced we'll go massive on a striker either. I could see us going for someone like Ekitike and going big on Paqueta or a right winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonScotman Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I think we just go all out for Pacqueta. He’s world class and even just 1 signings improves us massively and with a good core we have right now, if we signed just him in the summer id be buzzing.

If he's going with a definite back 4 and a single striker then it's difficult to imagine Wilson being 'the one'. We could upgrade all positions tbh and it'll be a case of who's available and adding 4 quality players to the first team depending on availability and price. Having that 5 in between the back 4 and the single striker gives Howe loads of options - 2 holding and 3 supporting, 3 central and 2 very wide, another bank of 4 with a 10 etc. Just can't see Howe building it all around Wilson. He'll be first off the bench in at least 25 games imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A top quality striker is going to blow a serious hole in the budget whenever they choose to bite the bullet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all my Summer is going to be looking at transfer gossip and news, be a bit of a damp squib if we only sign one player. 8 new players please barkeep!

The Prophet Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 How many of our January signings were actually picked up by journos from the off? Trippier was pretty widely reported and Wood was picked up by Edward pretty quickly. They didn't have a clue about Bruno or Burn from what I recall.

McCormick Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Love Howe but his recent quotes regarding the summer window and upcoming season aren’t exactly inspirational. - Not a huge war-chest; have to be creative with who we can buy. - Improving bit by bit - Hopeful of a good cup run. - Premier League is very difficult, just want to improve - Need to get new revenue streams All sensible stuff tbf, but I guess I was more looking for kind of an ambitious statement of intent/ battle cry for the new season. Spending about 100m or less- which he seems to be intimating is the case- won’t see us making any significant progress imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Bamford and Wilson battling it out seems like a decent option if it means we can spend more in other positions. I mean we’ll have to hope they’re not injured at the same time obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
