Now That's What I Call Transfer Rumours! 7


Recommended Posts

He looks like he has potential but tbh I expect a bigger signing that can come in and be a proper purple straight away. I’d take him alongside someone like Diaby (they’re both LW though?), but I think we would only get 2 if St Maximin leaves.

Yes please


it’s a massive yes for me too - yesterday was the perfect illustration that we need another forward - the more options the better 

 

plus this guy is freakin good and another Brazilian

He has even said that he wants to follow in the footsteps of Bruno and that he is inspired by him. Bruno was even on the phone to him before one of their games a while ago he said. Not that they are best mates or anything but still. Think we would be a good move for him. Hope it happens. Wears the 39 too I think.

He’s also said he wants to join Barca. Guess it depends if they can sell players, and how we sell our club to him. Hope we can get him though- seems a great talent. 
 

“Roque himself has now spoken on the speculation. In an interview with Sport, the 18-year-old admitted his desire to join Barcelona in the summer.

“It is a dream (to join Barcelona). Not only of mine, but also of any player who plays. If it materialises that I end up going to Barca, it will be a great joy for my family and for me. Therefore, I have to continue working hard and hope that everything will materialise.””

He'd make A LOT of sense as an addition to our squad if Howe thinks Isak playing from the left is something that we want to do going forward.

 

Wilson and Roque rotating at CF, allows Wilson to avoid playing too many minutes and means that we're not expecting an 18 year old to come in and immediately be the main man. Obviously we also have the option to play Isak there so we suddenly have three quality CF options.

 

Would be interesting to see how we'd tweak the setup, if at all. I think you'd want to give Isak a little less to do defensively than the wingers do now, obviously our front players need to press but I mean in terms of tracking full backs and such.

Probably in and around that, aye. Quite a lot of it in add-ons on top of an initial fee.

 

That's a kind of price range we've shown a willingness to operate in though so don't think it's out of reach at all.

Didn’t we go in for him in Jan for like £20m? Could be someone else.

Matteus Franca or Andrey Santos? We were scouting a few Brazilians in the last 6 months, including Santos who went to Chelsea for about £18m.

Meanwhile, Newcastle have no intention of reviving their interest in French wonderkid Hugo Ekitike after the player rejected a move to Tyneside last summer in order to sign for Paris Saint-Germain instead.

 

Ekitike, 20, has struggled for game time in Paris and is believed to want a move away from the club at the end of the season.

 

Newcastle, though, have since signed Alexander Isak from Real Sociedad and were unimpressed by Ekitike's behaviour after they agreed a fee with his French club Reims in July last year.

 

Despite a deal being verbally agreed, the player’s representatives delayed completing the move in order to engineer a transfer to PSG instead

My heart is now set on Ugarte.  He reeks of being elite.

 

If we can't afford Rice, this is where I am too.
