Minhosa Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Would be really interested to see what Howe and his coaching team could do with Tyler Adams too btw. Looked really athletic yesterday and fits the shithouse criteria well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Zaniolo linked again in the Italian media. Express late to the game reporting yesterday. Probably nonsense but we were linked heavily last summer too. https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1715505/Newcastle-transfer-news-Nicolo-Zaniolo-Tottenham-Arsenal/amp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember the Alvarez links were quite strong in the summer, then Chelsea came along. If they sign Enzo, can’t seem them going for Alvarez also. Could be one to watch.

SUPERTOON Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I’d go for Kone out of all the ones linked, seems to have the highest ceiling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll not need bedding in or time to adapt. He'd slot straight into our midfield three. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 £20m would be a steal. 25 years old, PL experience, normally good for 10 goals/assists a season. If we don't get him he goes to Arsenal, Spurs, Man Utd etc. Think he's perfect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) He's not as good as Bruno but we saw the drop those 2-3 games we missed him early in the season. He would massively lessen that gap in quality when he's out by still giving us that creative outlet, and would be able to be a starter alongside him too.

midds Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Still not sold on Tielemans as I've mentioned. I know he's only 25 and should be in his prime but I've got a feeling he's peaked and is on the way down now. I'm not saying he's shit or couldn't contribute but I think he'll only get worse from here. He's got 'old legs' as I call it. Broke onto the scene so young that his age doesn't really correlate with the games he's played - this is his 11th full season and I'd be wary about throwing big money at him. Not saying he wouldn't be good for a few years but I'd be looking elsewhere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Ekiteke scoring tonight I see. If there was a straight choice between Caicedo and Tielemens, I'd go with the Brighton man every time. I'm not convinced at YT at all tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 He'd massively improve our squad for what most likely is a very reasonable price. An absolute no brainer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably just a coincidence but, whenever I've watched him (granted not every game) he's not seemed to have the influence in the last 18 months compared to when he first signed for Leicester but I can see, him on form, would be a big leap on Longstaff.
