Sufi Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 4 hours ago, LionOfGosforth said: Watching Tyneside Life matchday video, he claimed to have chatted with Leicester fans pre-match and they were adamant that locally it's known Maddison has signed a pre-contract agreement with us. Almost certainly bollocks of course. I've seen this as well. Its funny because as a seasoned Football Manager...I can tell you that its impossible for a player to sign a pre-contract when he's got a full year left on his deal. If we were on an expiring contract, it would be more believable. We cant talk to him without talking to his club due to his contract situation.

Sima Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Maddison isn’t a statement signing now imo. Had we been Europa League maybe but we need to be at a higher tier for our statement signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamPS Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I think there’ll be a priority order for the signings, probably CM first, and budget might run out before it gets to 5 or even 6 players Even a £150m budget ain’t what it used to be - that might cover only 3 players of the right quality Some parts of the squad will have to wait another year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

black_n_white Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Think well spent around 200million, fully expecting Tierney and Maddison to come in at around £30mil each. Hopefully we go big on a center mid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paullow Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Botman, Bruno, and Isak should be the blueprint. Those around 21-23 who are among the best players at their club but would see Newcastle, or the Premier League, as a big step up, and can grow and develop with the club, fit in with the wage structure, and be here for years. That Szoboszlai at Leipzig would fit the bill - 22 years old and Hungarian captain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumbheed Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I do think we might go for a top class older player in the same vein as Trippier. Can't imagine his influence on the team has gone unnoticed and that will be doubly important next year when we'll be up against it on multiple fronts.

Cronky Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 We do have difficulty in breaking down a packed defence / low block, and Maddison would be a very good signing with that in mind. He'd be my No1 choice. A good left back would be priority no 2, and that that Carlos Augusto from Monza has impressed me the most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 14 hours ago, Matt1892 said: I think a tweak to the formation might be needed next year to a 4-2-3-1 when we play the majority of the league teams as we offer very little through the middle in terms of attacking threat, we can always start with a 4-3-3 formation against the better teams if we want to keep it tight. This season has far exceeded expectations but I’m sure Howe will have an honest look at our weaknesses and look to rectify them over the summer. We need a left back who is comfortable going forward to being balance to the team, more pace at the back for when we are hit on the counter and preferably two midfielders with ball playing ability and creativity as a minimum. Double piv with Bruno and Dec. Dom Szoz ahead of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingxlnc Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Have seen Ronaldo looking to leave Al-Nassr. Do you think he may be pushed on to NUFC by PIF, just from a commercial perspective especially now we have CL. On loan with a lot of the wages subsidised. Howe wouldn’t like the circus but he also understands the commercials. If Ronaldo could be the elder statesman and not the petulant demanding first choice, imagine his experience guiding Isak and also in the Champions League. It would feel elite even at his age. Would require him to drop ego and status which I can’t see him doing though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot stress how much we need that, preferably in midfield. I think Callum is that guy up top. Pope is that in goal. Trips in def. It’s fine we had that centrally.
