Decky Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Wonder who they'll go for. Maddison and the like aren't what I would describe as 'extraordinary'. Maddison makes sense and is the standard we should be targeting anyway, no one would be surprised by that move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmesy Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Would Maddison be extraordinary? He'd be a great signing but given the calibre of players we've signed so far - Isak, Trippier, Bruno, Botman - extraordinary would be someone in the next couple of brackets up, surely? Mind you, this is media talk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
christ Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 ‘Extraordinary’ puts me in mind of a proper ridiculous FM-style marquee signing. The type of player we’ve avoided thus far. I can think of a few names but to even commit them to text feels daft. Tbh I quite enjoy the approach we’ve taken thus far. Younger, highly rated players who are going to be the backbone of the team for years to come. I’m not desperate for us to start chucking silly money around at big names.

Rafalove Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Linked with Depay. Think he’d be good but I’d rather gamble on Mudryk. Pedro, Mudryk and Maddison is who i would like over the next two windows ideally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Who is even available to be considered extraordinary compared to what we've signed so far? You would imagine it's a position we actually need a new signing for, so a midfielder or right winger. Hopefully it isn't a silly signing based on name and reputation. Neymar or Ronaldo for example. Although I'd love to see Ronaldo in our shirt to be fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emotic Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I feel that the bar is low enough for Newcastle such that someone like Mudryk could be considered "extraordinary". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, this is media talk I’d say Maddison would have been a genuinely extraordinary signing pre-takeover as it never ever would have happened. Now, I’d say that it would be a brilliant signing but not extraordinary. If you look at the clubs he could likely move to, it’s Arsenal, Newcastle, Chelsea or Man U. It’s not Tottenham as they have Kulusevski as he’s been forced out the side, Man U have just bought Antony and have Bruno Fernandes so he’s not going there. Chelsea have more midfielders than they could ever need but you can never rule them out wanting one more. Arsenal, is Odegaard playing a similar role to Maddison there? Playmaker across attacking midfield? If so, are they going to be after him? He doesn’t have a load of options despite his talent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extraordinary to me is someone who people would be shocked to see us sign. Someone who we'd have no business signing. Is Mudryk any more high profile than Isak and Bruno?

The College Dropout Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 We are yet to sign a highly rated player in their prime from a PL rival. So for me JM would be an extraordinary signing and a statement. It's a sign to the likes of West Ham and Wolves. If we want your dinner, we will eat it. And a sign to the bracket above, there's another predator around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extraordinary could be someone who doesn’t have a massive reputation that is very good but for whatever reason hasn’t generated much hype. Similar to Haaland before Dortmund or Salzburg. That new Brighton manger said that Mudryk is the third best left winger in the world, behind Neymar and Vinicius. If he really is that good then I would say he would fit said description Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
