Fighting with teammates is always a massive red flag, at any level.

 

But whatever, maybe he'll grow out of it, as long as he isn't stubbing cigars out in people's eyes, I'm glad nobody like that has ever played for us.


I mean, we’ve literally had a famous fight between two of our players during a Premier League game so I think we’re probably good. :lol:

In Gambia he's known as "Messi" :lol: He's a speedy flair player with a lot of tricks up his sleeve and a good shot on him. ASM is probably the best comparison from our current lot. 

 

His top level is very good but he can also go missing from games which is somehow expected from an 18 year old. However, he seems to raise his game against the top teams in Denmark, so I think he would thrive on a bigger stage than the Danish Superliga.

 

He has had some disciplinary issues, e.g. fighting with teammates in training, destroying a corner flag when subbed off (Matt Ritchie style) etc., but hopefully Eddie and his team will take good care of that.

 

Only going by YT, but he looks like a good athlete. Overall though, the comparison with Messi seems very optimistic. I've been more impressed with Kuol.

 

With the disciplinary issues, I'd have thought he was more trouble than he's worth.

The Magpies will be playing Champions League Football next season which may sway the 21-year-old towards a move to the North East. However, the report claims that Forest are "certainly in the running" having "already probed" him "for some time".
 

It is also pointed out that the Reds already have a Brazilian contingent in midfield with Gustavo Scarpa and Danilo among the 30 players to have arrived at the City Ground since Steve Coper's side were promoted to the top-flight through the play-offs in 2022.

 

Another report from Globo Esporte claims that Sao Paulo are willing to negotiate his transfer if they receive offers in the region of €15million (around £12m).

Can see why all 4 clubs want him, particularly if players exit. Forest for Shelvey, West Ham for Rice, Fulham for Paulina, NUFC for the #6 role.

A Brazilian reporter has said that a scout of ours has been at Sao Paulo games and that we are targeting Pablo Maia, who has drawn comparisons to Cassemiro. A £13 million fee is reportedly what Sau Paulo are looking for.

 

Looks like a tenacious DM with a great shot and a nice passing range.

 

 

 

 

 

Or we could save some money and play Schar in midfield ffs.

Schar would be genuinely terrible in midfield, he is a CB and has nowhere near the mobility CM requires.

Links that are based on scouts watching games are so tenuous- especially now the club has started to build a big scouting network. Newcastle scouts will probably be watching tens of games a week and hundreds of players. You could link whole leagues of players based on scouts watching their games
 

Not like when it was just Graham Carr shopping in France…

I know some have reservations about his fitness, but given he's one of the best left backs in the league, he'd be a cracking signing.

 

Shaw

Chilwell

Zinchenko

Robertson

 

These are the best in league (I've probably missed someone), Tierney is in that bracket IMO.

As has been pointed out on Twitter, Arsenal are really. pushing this Tierney deal. They're briefing the London hacks on a daily basis.

Yup. Gary Jacob in the Times (their London correspondent) saying we're in 'pole position' for Tierney, with Arsenal wanting 'more than' £30m, to help them fund a bid for Rice.

 

Not fussed either way on Tierney, but with this and the McTominay stuff, I really don't think we should be taking unwanted squad players from premier league rivals, especially not if there's a Newcastle tax on them.

Really, really unfair lumping Tierney with McTominay and whilst Tierney may be "dispensable" from an Arsenal viewpoint, alot of people would argue that Tierney is actually a better player than Zinchenko, however they are both massively different players.

Arsenal signed Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus last season from Man City.  Unwanted squad players from rivals don't necessarily equal bad signings.  Tierney is a really good (if injury prone) LB - and would be an obvious upgrade on what we have already

Might just be my lack of knowledge on left-backs but- injury history aside- I can’t think of a better (realistic) option for us than Tierney. If it’s 30m or less then it’d be a great deal imo.

Maybe, and I'm quite happy to be wrong there, but he's certainly disposable to them - only started 6 games last season. 

 

It's the fitness issues that would worry me mainly. Aren't we past buying players who are a fitness risk and taking a gamble on them?

Was it injury that cost Tierney his Arsenal place? Seems strange Arsenal went out and bought Zinchenko last summer if they considered Tierney a top class left back.

I think it was mainly injury, but then Zinchenko came in and became the preferred choice.

 

Which might just be a matter of playing style as STM says.

Obviously a first choice LB is going to be brought in this summer but I'm interested to see what happens with Targett.

 

I'd hope that last season was mostly just a case of Eddie not wanting to mess with a settled back five and that's why Burn kept his place.

 

If Burn is going to stay ahead of him in the LB pecking order then I'd hope we'll move Targett on and get some money back for him. Maybe bring in a youngster that can be brought along as 3rd choice LB until he's ready with Burn covering it until then?

 

If he's going to be second choice LB, Targett is worth keeping. If not, might be someone we can get something decent back for.

 

Personally think he's been really good for us for the most part, wouldn't really hate him starting next season at LB.

Someone made a good point recently when they said that due to the wealth of the premier league teams compared to all of the other league in Europe, the top spending teams have little option but to sell to each other.

 

That is why Man City were selling to Arsenal and Chelsea last summer.
