Expectations:

"You can do a flick,

An overhead kick,

As long as it goes in, we'll understand...

Score 'em with your feet,

your body or your heed,

Newcastle is where you become a man.

So don't fail my heart,

My Ekitike heart,

I just don't think it'd understand,

If you fail my heart,

My Ekitike heart,

We'll sell you down the road to Sunderland!"

 

Reality, we'll keep it simple and go:

"Hugo Ek-ki-tee-kay

Hugo Ek-ki-tee-kay,

Hugo Ek-ki-tee-kaaaaaaaay

That nobody can deny!

That nobody can deny!

That nobody can deny!"

(To the tune of that Binley Mega Chippy song - which, granted, is just "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow"[emoji38])

How longs he on French U20 duty?

Until the 12th June at least as I’m sure there’s a 3rd place playoff regardless whether they win/lose their semi final.

If I’m him, I’d want to be playing first team football at his age. If he does sign I can see him in ASM’s position or we will be moving to a front 3.

Fits with everything else being reported i.e we're still negotiating personal terms with his agent. 


No was reported he’d agreed in principal to join, I’d assume at that point there wouldn’t be much left to iron out.

 

The fact it hasn’t happened already is down to that tournament he’s playing. Once it’s over he’ll be announced.

Anything can happen before pen hits paper, and nothing will happen till after the tourney. I get it being reported as a done deal so people are confident but am amazed by the confidence of some that it has already definitely happened. We've all been here on transfers, the player may change mind, get better offer and even if verbally he has signed he isn't legally bound till pen is on paper. I am not bothered, we will find someone else, and it does look like this is happening, but don't understand quotes like above saying it's a certainty.

I assumed agreed in principle would be subject to agreeing the finer personal terms and agents fees, along with passing a medical.

He seems a talent, but I wouldn’t be too bothered if he didn’t sign for us. Same with many others we are linked with, mainly because I know next to fuck all about them or have not seen many of them play much.

I think it’s just refreshing knowing that no matter what, come end of August we’re going to be a lot stronger. Some targets will knock us back but it’s almost certain that our plans B, C & D will still be excellent. Gone are the days when we go down Carr’s recommendations and go from Aubameyang, to Bony, to Riviere.

Maybe why we are looking at Sarr? 

 

Not worried. We will get there but we aren't at the competing stage with the top clubs yet. We will get the pieces we need to get closer  whether that's Hugo or someone else.

This one is not looking good. Particularly because of how much Ekitike looks up to Mbappe. Not sure we get him now.


It’s fairly obvious he’s stalling us out as we’re not his first choice.


Hope PSG’s poor track record for bringing promising youths into the first team picture will make the lad see sense.

 

Would be a blow to lose out on 2 priority targets this early.
