Angel Gomes and Jonathan David both have contracts expiring in the summer. Offer £15m for each of them in Jan and see if Lille nibble.

David is a good shout, a secondary source of goals could be the difference of champs league or no Europe so worth the £15m.

 

would rather look at getting Gomes tied up for the summer of we’re looking that way. 

[SUPERTOON]

David will have much better offers imo.

Semenyo

 

 

 

What’s his value? Would provide good support up top whilst a massive upgrade on the right.

It would be Guehi levels, another one we missed the boat on.

A lot of people said scoring wasn't a problem in the summer. Scoring is a problem now.

This a thread of actual rumours or just random wish lists?

If people share their random wish lists enough times, then they become an actual rumour

You just invented sports journalism.

Probably go somewhere where he might get on the bench half a dozen games a season.

 

Like Chiesa.

Like Chiesa.

Him running his contract down also opens up so many options for him. 

[ExiledGeordie]

I think a RW this January if we could get one could make all the difference. We’ve found more balance in the last few games but having another genuine goal threat and being able to have Gordon right or left too would take us up another notch.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Interesting to see what people think of the RW issue now that we want Joe and Joe on the left. 
 

Guess different for different games?

Still a massive need, squad needs a boost in a lot of places if we want to be a top 4 club.

We lack options to break teams down and goals have been an issue so far this season. Even with the re-emergence of the Joe and Joe combo it’s a position that has to be addressed for me. 

[ExiledGeordie]

Do people think Trippier will go in Jan?

Yeap, defo gone. 

[aussiemag]

Yes a starting 11 RW, a striker to rotate with Isak and a right centre back should be the priorities. 

[PopeandGlory]

I just hope we don’t go anywhere near Elanga. He’s the same level as Miggy and Murphy and would not be an upgrade.

 

Even during this great run for Forest, he’s on 0 goals and 1 assist in 10 games.

Yeah, I can’t see this happening.

It does change the picture slightly, but I don't think we're able to rely upon Willock playing out the rest of the season as it stands.  If we lose him again, we're probably back to square one.

 

An interesting idea is whether Gordon could play his role in CM at a push... They're not that dramatically different as players.

 

One thing I do think is this has been a very bad week for Harvey Barnes. It's becoming harder and harder for him to find his spot in the first XI, which I'm sure is where he wants to be.

[Ikon]

What do people feel regarding us going for proven quality or slightly less proven but massive potential? (In January)
 

Personally i think I’ve changed my mind slightly regarding this. I mean I don’t want us to go for players that won’t be ready to challenge for a place, like 17-18 year olds. But at the same time I’m not sure if it’s worth going for the likes of Semenyo, Guehi and Mbeumo for say £50+ million.  
 

Obviously not against it but maybe we can find something very very good in between for say 30-40m and maybe get two in. Players that will improve us but most importantly grow during the season. Say aged 19-22 or thereabouts . 

 

Whatever they go for I hope it’s players with very high technical ability. I’m all for whatever category/profile we go for tbh. I’ve never really wanted or demanded that we go for 50-60m players. I’d be very happy if we could be like say Dortmund for example. The rest will take care of itself within time. 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Either can work. If we see Guehi as the long term successor to Schar then he’s worth a big fee. Same with another similar player.

 

We cant do that in every position of course, and we would always need cheaper players coming through too. 
 

Either way we shouldn’t really judge a signing on whether it’s expensive or cheap - it depends on the purpose of the signing. 

[Dr.Spaceman]

Tino - Guehi - Botman - Hall would be as good a back four as I've seen for Newcastle

[Ikon]

Most definitely both can work. I’m all for it. Just that I’m more open to thinking more long term now I guess. Especially when you consider the “lack” of RW that can go straight in and be mega good without costing 60m or whatever. 

[Ikon]

I genuinely don’t think WE can get Guehi for cheap. Some other club might get him for a more reasonable price though. Most importantly I hope we don’t waste time on him.
