I’d take Mbeumo, but if he was the target I’d imagine they’d have gone for him already, would seem bizarre to wait until mid August to bid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Guehi last bid is rejected we might really go for RW (Mbeumo) instead. I think we are able to spend a big one this window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but only one sub and no twenty-five man squad to keep tabs on back then. You'd be lucky to get more than three minutes of highlights the next day on Tyne Tees. My all-time favourite unrealistic rumour was Socrates in the Ronny Gill following the 1982 World Cup. We have ended up with some real Brazilian quality in midfield, but neither of them glide around like Socrates! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t recall anybody saying that, let alone a crowd. We’ve bid for (at least) two £50m+ players, though doubt we’d have gone for Guehi if we’d got Olise. I think we will sign Guehi and in doing so make him our record signing. We’ll also have provisional ‘agreements’ in place for a right sided forward. Probably dependent on getting an acceptable bid and Miggy agreeing to leave. Add this to the other business (first team and for development/investment signings) and our outlay will have been significantly more than most expected and about as good as we could have hoped for.

A huge lot of people was saying this back in April that we must spend over 100m this summer to massively improve 3-4 starting positions. Guehi won’t be our record signing. No chance. No way we offer over 70m euro for Guehi. Edited August 13 by Zero Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Most people who expected a big spend were expecting Trips, Miggy and Wilso to go along with possibly Longstaff to be fair. Any £200m thoughts were if Bruno was sold Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing we’ll pay >=£55m for Guehi plus up to £10m add ons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Boyo Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 By the time I get back today - Guehi signed, fee agree for a right-winger (not the Chelski lad) miggy moving across the pond…..ok, go! ……. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee_Johnny Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) Speculation linking us with Elanga this morning. He went to Forest for 17.5m, last year; 5 goals, 9 assists. Still only 22, three caps for Sweden. More affordable option if Miggy goes? Edited August 13 by Coffee_Johnny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Like Elanga to a certain extent but not as the main RW starter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Madueke has a much higher ceiling but, despite being a more limited player, I think Elanga suits our play more. I’d much rather go for the former if they’re anywhere close in terms of valuations though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find elanga to be unlikely, all the reports were we wanted to include him in the deal with Anderson but forest weren’t having it. Reluctant sellers would certainly inflate the fee.

So it’ll either be Miggy on the bench/competing or a newbie. Elanga/similar might give him tougher competition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t read the piece, but if i were to guess 3 names it would be. Bowen Elanga Madueke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
