Nucasol Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 16 minutes ago, The Prophet said: Off to Barca isn't he? Yup. Apparently La Liga Chief Lizard Officer Javier Tebas (licking his lips…) has said they’ve cleared the PSR headroom to get him after all the registration related drama of previous years.

Sibierski Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Next 48-72 hours will see the domino effect start as clubs get deals signed up whilst players are on holiday/rejoining clubs for pre season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamPS Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 My guess/hope is they are putting all the deals together to ensure the package for PSR, so it’s either this CB and this RF or that CB and that RF, and once all the pieces fit we see a few go through together Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
janpawel Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Twitter ITKs mentioning Antonio Silva from Benfica I'm curious does anyone know how he has performed of late? Sure not so long ago he was the most hyped / expensive young CB out there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 He’s had a very poor season by all accounts. Think he received 2 red cards in the CL as well. Would fit in to our transfer strategy of buying players when their reputations have taken a hit; it was only last year when Benfica slapped a 100m euro price tag on him. You could probably get him for half that now. Risky but could have a huge payoff if last season’s form was just a blip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Seen a few videos about Thiaw and I don't find anything remarkable about him? Ousmane Diomande on the other hand looks really promising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the only way we would get a player like him when his stock is low, same way we managed to get Isak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Plays on the left mainly or did I see him playing more on the right last year? We love a player whose natural position is on the left because Eddie hates Southgate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 From the Douglas article: i has been told that recruitment meetings will be held in Germany this week with Newcastle, fresh from their Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) fire sale, armed with a substantial budget to bring in the right forward, striker and centre-back that represent an absolute minimum for them this summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Hmm, just checked Transfermarkt and his main position is on the right. Was that where he was when they played in the premier league? I remember him on the left but maybe I’m misremembering Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 8 minutes ago, SUPERTOON said: Shit source but: From that 'tweet' he would be in the mould of the young versatile striker we are apparently after, which would be a really good fit I think. Decent amount of experience in both the Prem and the Championship now, and so can still be effective as a threat when brought into the team in any position across the front three.

He was brilliant for Leeds in the prem, not seen much of him last season. Not sure he’s the top RW we need, but I wouldn’t be unhappy with his signing.

Shak Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Gnonto makes sense as he can play up front but also on the wing. Not just a pure backup to Isak, which is the issue with keeping Wilson. Young enough where he'll be alright with not being first choice too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been convinced by Gnonto tbh, always seemed more of a little pest than much else. I think he's an ok player, just not really struck me as being CL quality which is what I think we should be going for. I suppose you could argue that he's still only 20 and he might have room to grow, but think it would mostly be muscle mass than much else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
