500bhp Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Dont forget we massively overpaid for him. According to the La Liga 'expert' on BBC Radio Newcastle he was worth £15m ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 The best all round centre-forward in the world and he’s ours! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 First time visiting Newcastle for awhile so got to witness this live (what a day ?) But I actually thought his general player was poor at times. Seemed to lose the ball alot and struggled with any physicality. But then when we played to his strengths and he gets into that left channel cutting in. Just ice in his veins, you never doubt for a 2nd that he's gonna score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintdempsey Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 He's an absolutely class player for sure. His finishing is absolutely top class. His movement and pace is top class. I do agree that his touch was slightly off yesterday - the ball over the top from Barnes (?) in the first half you'd have bet your house that he'd bring it down and score as well as the second time he had Van Der Ven on toast and Udogie got across to block the shot. Absolutely adore him though. This team man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiston Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Probably the best finisher in the league. The player we cannot afford to lose the most by far, hardest to replace with their not being a massive choice of excellent strikers right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Arsenal Mania spent their whole match thread saying he'd walk into their team in more than one position, but the savvy ones acknowledge that even they can't afford him. It's not just us lads who thinks he's special. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelinton7 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 He’s gonna’ want a new contract isn’t he, and he’s probably going to want to be our top earner. How high will we go? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 7 in his last 6, 21 in all competitions. Don’t think there’s a striker in the league I’d trade him for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 You run out of superlatives. The finishing ability, the composure, the demeanor, the way he blends into the team and provides more than just pure finishing, the fact that he seems to love it here, there's not a better fit for us on the planet. No point in debating whether he's a top (x) striker in the world, he's 1 of 1 for us right now. And he's not Shearer, but that's OK. No reason to ever compare the two.

huss9 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 what would people make of us just bringing in maybe only one new player for a fee if it meant keeping 39 and 14? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 So it’s Andy Cole’s record of scoring in 8 consecutive home games he’s aiming at, equalling Sir Les yesterday. but shearer scored in his first 15 home games, that’s just insane and probably will never be beat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think keeping our main guys has to be the priority. Get a free signing that covers multiple positions e.g. Lloyd Kelly, who fills in at left back and centre back. And then bring Minteh back. Then try and find a couple of shrewd signings at around £30 million each. If we can do something like that, that would be my preference I think, and would hopefully mean, no key player sales.

Yeah pretty content with that. One proper signing plus wheeling and dealing as outlined by Kaka re: Kelly and Minteh is perfectly acceptable to me and we could have a very good season that way.

We’ve got a good team if we can have them all fit at same time to choose from.. the question that’s been raised this season is strength in depth though.. keeper, centre back, and centre forward because wilson is never fit.. i suppose midfield needed cover this season at times but tonali was signed to address that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 2 hours ago, huss9 said: what would people make of us just bringing in maybe only one new player for a fee if it meant keeping 39 and 14? We need 2 money signings, a keeper and a centre forward. We might be able to get away from a freebie at the back and go with Schar/Burn/Newbie until Botman is back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
