Bit of a Thiaw update. Player is keen.

 

https://www.calciomercato.com/news/milan-thiaw-e-il-retroscena-sulla-premier-league-tra-newcastle-e-52904

Rough translation: 
“Milan's transfer market has a slow trend, at least in this very first phase. The management is evaluating several 360-degree situations both inbound and outbound. One of them certainly concerns the situation of Malick Thiaw: the German defender has a large market abroad.

NEWCASTLE BUT NOT ONLY - In recent days Milan have had a direct confrontation with Newcastle for Thiaw that manager Howe likes so much. The Magpies probed the Rossoneri club's readiness for the sale of the strong German defender who is attracted to the Premier League: his agent Stipic already in January had started probing several tracks in that league. Contacts are expected in the coming days with other English companies that have shown some interest.

THE SITUATION - Milan's idea would be to hold Thiaw back because the defensive department needs reinforcements and not outgoing revolutions. Clearly, in the face of really important offers, in the order of EUR 35/40 million, he would be in a position to at least have to evaluate them. Malick is waiting for news about the future and would like to improve the current salary of 800 thousand euros per season. And the Premier League temptation gets stronger and stronger.”

As frustrating as Almiron? (genuine question)

 

Very few players are as frustrating as Almiron

 

That pass in the League Cup final still haunts my dreams.

Shows the amount of money Tosin would've saved us - ah well.

Depends on wages offered. Tosin was being offered £100+kpw so 5yr deal = £26m + Unknown signing on fee as a free agent you’d imagine around £10m = £36m

 

This kid is currently on £21kpw so double his wages at £42kpw = £11m + £24m Fee and signing on of £1m = £36m

 

Also gives room to increase contract as time goes on from a lower base and not effect others in the squad.

Annoying thing is Neto would be absolutely ideal if it weren’t for the injury concerns 

[The Prophet]

I think I'd prefer Mbuemo to Neto.

From what I’ve seen I think Neto is better but my emotions is a better fit for us especially when comparing injury records.

[Shak]

Mbuemo and Neto if we really want to make some noise.

You think a guy we spend £30-40m on will be on 40k? Dubravka is probably on more than that

Aye, wouldn't complain

 

[janpawel]

We'd be unstoppable on the transition with Gordon, Isak and Neto

Think he’s on less actually (€800,000 a year) and I only think we’ll pay £21-23m max.

 

Anderson probably has getting a bump up to £40kpw approx and he’s cost £34m. Was probably on around £12-15kpw here, £20kpw tops.

With Wolves getting 40 million for Kilman, would imagine the price for Neto will have gone up.

14 goals in 135 games for Neto apparently. What am I missing?

The rich tapestry of consequential actions that lead up to goals not scored or assisted by said player.

I think Neto is brilliant but can you sign someone with his fitness record?

But if he’s going to be one of our front three you’d want better goal return than that still?

I think it will all depend on the price. Rumours are Wolves want £60M and that is obviously a crazy amount and IMO isn't worth paying considering the history of injury. £40M though? Would that be worth the obvious risks, maybe it would.

Could up it in a better team, like Jota. And he gets plenty assists.

 

Cracking player IMO - but I think far too brittle to go near at the price they'd want.

Got zero idea on how bad his injury past is. Are we talking ASM or worse?

 

Explosive paced wingers tend to have a bunch but is it more than normal?

Looks pretty horrific, but it’s only really the hamstring injuries from last season that would concern me.

 

I do really like him though. The game away at Wolves last season changed completely when he went off for them.

Tbh I was just highlighting the fallacy of just using stats to judge a okayer. I'm sure his assist record is very good?

 

But to answer your question, a significant number of our players have scored career high goals over the past couple of years by virtue of our style of play. Neto would not be the exception to that. 

 

He's a superb player who's only drawback is his horrific injury record.

He's got massive, massive potential if only he could stay fit. It might be worth a risk at the right price but it's a real risk with Murphy as backup.
