Mazzy Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 4 minutes ago, Cronky said: Linked with Nabil Fekir. We could do with another forward and he looks useful on YT. A very consistent performer and also consistently linked with moves away when he was at Lyon but still churning out good numbers of goals and assists at Betis. 29 now so arguably you'd have to be paying top whack in wages as this will be his last big move. Add to that Betis will want a profit on their 20M spent and I'm not entirely sure if its worth it with the other options out there (Maddison) being proven in this league.

gbandit Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Remember his transfer to Liverpool fell through because of a medical, no? Did he get some bionic legs after that? I remember thinking he looked amazing in clips when I heard he was going to Liverpool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 My main memory of Fekir at Lyon was his managing to cause a massive riot in the derby game vs St Etienne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I like the search for young superstars in the making. Watching Kuol you can see has can rip defenses to shreds, just whether or not he can develop tactically and become a real team play instead of just an impact sub (his current role at coastal) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 The Carrasco links are interesting. Doesn’t seem to fit the profile of player we’d be after, but there’s been persistent rumours on a move for him every window since the takeover. Could obviously just be agent-driven mind.

I think that's a fair description of his style, only knowing him as a Sheffield United player. Had a wand on him...and nice foppish hair. Could almost have played Sean Bean and vice-versa Edited November 10, 2022 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 29 and having never played in the PL before I’d say it’s unlikely. For that age bracket we seem to go for PL proven players, if we go abroad the trend so far seems to be for younger prospects.

Mazzy Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Carrasco has gone of the boil this year it seems. Not to say he isn't worth a shot ofcourse but isnt there better options out there? Martin Terrier would be one that springs to mind, he has also been rumoured recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Source: https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/3-estrellas-laliga-quiere-fichar-newcastle-united-20221110.html Translated: Newcastle United aims to build a top-level squad that can compete for the Premier League title in the short term. The owners of the club are targeting several important pieces of European football that can make a leap in quality to the squad currently directed by Eddie Howe. The Urracas intend to make significant investments in the next markets to finish having a top-notch squad in the Premier League and, according to the information we handle, they intend to get the three-star services of LaLiga in the short term. Here we tell you who they are: The 3 LaLiga stars that Newcastle United wants to sign -Pau Torres: The centre of Villarreal is one of the main desires of the club to continue renewing its rotation in the back. Spanish is an ideal bet to put together a first-class couple with Sven Botman for the short and long term. His contract ends in the summer of 2024. -Yannick Ferreira Carrasco: The Belgian is an option that he likes a lot because of its versatility and individual quality. He is a soccer player that Newcastle sees as the ideal winger for Eddie Howe's game idea. It has a termination clause of 60 million euros, which the English club would be willing to pay. Atlético de Madrid needs to sell a star due to its complicated economic situation. -Nabil Fekir: One of the main desires and the most complicated of the three mentioned. Fekir is one of the main desires of the owners due to their technical quality and experience in the elite. He does not want to leave Real Betis, but the Urracas will make an offer of 45 million euros to try to convince both parties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
