huss9 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 "Newcastle might have infuriated Ajax even further after reportedly making a £34million offer for Edson Alvarez before last Thursday’s transfer deadline. The Eredivisie side were left fuming during the summer window as several of their key players were prised away. The Magpies, who have enjoyed a positive start to the season under Eddie Howe, apparently prepared a £34m bid for midfielder Alvarez ahead of the deadline. Chelsea also made a proposal for the Mexico international." mail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) This new guy at Napoli Khvicha Kvaratskhelia would have ticked all the boxes what a fucking bargain.

However, most fans never accept it and don't really trust proper scouting and recruitment. All they want is big names that have been on the highlights on Match of the Day the previous week. If we'd been linked people would have been going on about his goal record or whatever other nonsense and would have accused the club of being cheap and buying players that are not top 6 players etc. before even seeing the guy play.

Joey47 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) I guess the reasoning behind their scouting approach so far is not being able to afford to take risks at this current stage. They wanted to build a solid base and they have done this succesfully. I think going forward now we will take more gambles/risky types of transfers, like that brazilian kid we've been linked with this morning.

Was more directed at the scouting team, because even though I understand them not wanting to take many risks up to this point, it feels like some absolute bargains slipped through our fingers this summer window. Like that Kvaratshkelia for example. If it's true he would have never got a work permit then fair enough but there has been many other players transferred this window that I'd have like us to have made a move for.
