Player who will absolutely improve our starting 11, can play in all positions across the front 3, and thanks to his contract situation would likely be available for a cut price in Jan.

His Dad got caught out enjoying abuse of Tuchel, Mount and Havertz after they got beat off Leeds. One of the best things since Howe came in is the near silence we now have regarding little situations like this and other unwanted / distracting noise from the squad and their camps. Even with Dubravka it seemed to come after the move was sorted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 As much as I’d love Joao Felix, we’re not going to spunk the thick end of a year’s worth of budget on one player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ9 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I’m going to try and take the last 2 windows as a lesson. Fuck looking over at what other clubs are doing.

TRC Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Dont think there is much in the Pulisic stuff, I imagine we could do better taking from Lique 1 or the Portugese League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel there are any glaring deficiencies in our squad, we don't really need to sign anyone, any signings we do make will be a bonus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoSelecta Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 We need ~8 players before the start of next season when we’re in Europe. They’ll not want to bring that many in one window so I think 3 in Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I think we need at least 1 first-team player in January, just to keep positive momentum and introduce another option within the squad. I’m sure there’ll be opportunistic deals we can pursue, such as players out of contract in the summer that we can bring in for a nominal fee in January if agreed.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 One big starter (or two) and a couple of younger players like the West Ham fullback and Perrone would be superb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 From a financial standpoint there are few players we could sign who would be more impactful than Pulisic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with Dubravka it seemed to come after the move was sorted. He seems to have a big ego because of his position on the USMNT. Not getting along w/ Tuchel is one thing (Mirror), but Potter doesn't seem to rate him either. If we sign him and he sits behind ASM, Miggy, Wilson, Isak, how long until the complaints start? I suppose using him as attacking midfielder might solve his playing time requirements. Not worth the risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 A player who helps us into the CL would be my preference over a yank perma crock. There’s a wealth of wingers out there Mudryk, Diaby, Kudus to name a few who I’d want ahead of Pulisic. Not buying that where in for him as his injury record would be a major red flag, this incarnation of NUFC has no need to take gambles on so called top 4 rejects. I certainly don’t buy into the theory he’d be a good signing for commercial reasons, Howe and Ashton wouldn’t entertain it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying we should sign him for commercial reasons and I agree I'd prefer to look elsewhere, but there's no doubt it would be a financial win. I'm guessing more Newcastle shirts would be sold in America in the first 6 months than have been sold in the history of the club. And if we continue on the path to success and he turned things around here? NUFC would be one of the most popular clubs in the US. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Pulisic has talent but he is absolutely over hyped and overrated imo. I'd rather we spent more than half the amount beating Leicester to Tajon Buchanan. I'm 100% biased on that though! If Howe and the team want Pulisic I am 100% behind it. He has undeniable xfactor if we could harness it and help him stay fit and grow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are three things that make clubs popular in America: 1) winning 2) global superstars (Messi/Ronaldo/Neymar) 3) Americans on the team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
