Whitley mag Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) Pedro would have been ideal for us as cover across the front 3, possibly would have even took one of the wide places. I think he would have still been high on the list, but maybe he thinks he’ll get more game time at Brighton and be the main man. Get the impression where probably in limbo aswell with the CL list of targets and the Europa League list at the moment. Hard not to get excited with the level of player we’ll be targeting with CL football, if Vitor Roque is the main target up front I can see why we would be keeping our powder dry.

Whitley mag Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 The reason Newcastle United opted against Joao Pedro move Newcastle United did not revive their bid to sign Joao Pedro from Watford ahead of the summer window - because Eddie Howe has moved on to other targets. Chronicle Live has learned that Newcastle were aware of Pedro's desire to leave Vicarage Road, but the club's rapid rise up the Premier League has resulted in a change of direction with some potential deals. United will now turn their attention to other targets this summer after Brighton & Hove Albion signed Pedro from Watford last night. A source close to the deal told us that Newcastle were not involved in any discussions this time around on Pedro. Newcastle are also much more relaxed when it comes to forwards with £63million Alexander Isak now settled on Tyneside and Callum Wilson in fine form The Brazilian youngster was the subject of a £30million bid last summer but the Hornets resisted any offers last summer and handed him a new contract. Newcastle are keen to sign another forward this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) A third striker gives us all sorts of options apart from just injury cover. One possibly example start Isak and Wilson, bring on 3rd striker from 60 mins etc Edited May 6, 2023 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Just now, PauloGeordio said: Tammy Abraham available allegedly He would certainly make sense and a kind of understudy to Wilson but also starting plenty games. Wilson is going to be more effective as per his current role and he’d still get to start the odd European and cup game too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manxst Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Abraham wouldn’t want to come to be an understudy, surely? Yes, he’d be playing a fair bit especially now we’ve got a European place, but he’d be wanting to be the main striker to win his England place, no? He’s 25 years old- we’d be looking at someone younger I think (unless he’s replacing Wilson). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he wouldn’t come here to sit on the bench. Isak and Abraham would probably take the lions share, Wilson backing up ?♂️ It’s pretty obvious we’re going to need another striker but they may see a young striker more happy with 3rd choice and being bedded in more appropriate.

Whatever happens a 3rd striker and proper high quality game winning winger brought in takes our attack to another level. An attacking left back too to be fair and to help break down defensive teams at home which we’re going to see a lot of next season.

MidfieldGeneral Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Has Abraham been poor this season? Loads of transfer speculation around him, a year or so ago, and the figures were upwards of £50m. Was reading the other day that he's now available for £25-30m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn’t hit the heights of last season - looks to have lost a bit of confidence - not sure if it’s a consequence of Dybala’s arrival in the sense that he isn’t the main point of attack anymore - been benched a few times for Bellotti Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Both Abraham and Belotti have been terrible this season and Dybala being there hasn't really changed Tammy's role IMO. Just bang out of form all season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) Think Vitor Roque, Evan Ferguson or some other absolutely top CF prospect is the way to go. Someone young enough that they'll be OK with being rotated quite a bit but someone you also reckon would more than hold their own if needed to be the main man. Guess it depends on the long term plan for Isak. I do like the idea of him on the left, but with a bit more freedom. I wonder if maybe we could end up in something of a hybrid between a 4-3-3 and a 4-4-1-1. In Joelinton and Willock you have two players who we know are ideal for the role of LCM player who gets out wide quite a lot. In Gordon, Almiron and Murphy we have RW options that will really put in the work and allow Isak to have less responsibility to track back. Joelinton could obviously be used in place of either Longstaff or Willock, there'll be new additions too. I don't know, maybe the plan is for Isak to be the main man at CF and Wilson backing him up and providing a change up like how we've seen them used together this year... I guess ultimately I just think having two top quality goalscorers in the team is better and Isak on the left gives real potential for that.
