I read somewhere today, might have been the Athletic, that we still won't have loads to spend if we abide strictly by the PSR restrictions. So we'll have to be strategic, in which case it might be one or two big signings or 4-5 promising ones in the mould of Hall and Livra. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was thinking they might go biggish on a CB and RW and then maybe a couple squad signings or something like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty big signings I’d say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but not an Isak or a Tonali level Dibling / Harwood-Bellis would be a Hall and Tino type Mbeumo / Guehi would be the Tonali type Guler would be a mixture of Isak/Hall in that very young but one of the best youngsters in the world Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will have to continue going down the buy young potential rather than proven performers, I would imagine with Mitchell on board it will be more the Elanga for £15m that Forest did than £40m for Tino. I think we'll be shopping abroad more so we can make a few signings rather than just a couple, we have a few areas we need more cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll be offloading a few too so that’ll give us room to bring players in in terms of wage bill even if we haven’t got much in the way of transfer fees for them - Wilson, Lascelles etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) Dibling being able to show as much as he has in a generationally bad Southampton team is really impressive. He’s going to the top I think. For us the only question is if he could handle the move. He couldn’t even manage leaving Southampton to go to London.

Conjo Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago You do a lot of growing up from 16 to 19. Wouldn't worry too much about whether he can handle a move or not. If he wants to go and accepts a contract he's most likely thought it through extra hard considering his past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think we're going to sell at least one of Bruno, Joelinton, Gordon, or Barnes (assuming we don't sell Isak). I think the only way that maybe won't happen is if we qualify for the CL and even then I think it's pretty likely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
olliemort Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago i think barnes could be the one to go or even Gordon but not any of the others as long as Howe is here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Dibling still too raw to really make a difference to the quality of our squad. Would prefer we target more established players, particularly at the likely fee involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only way that maybe won't happen is if we qualify for the CL and even then I think it's pretty likely. Newcastle chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan has told the club’s hierarchy to resist any offers for his favourite player Alexander Isak this summer. The governor of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment fund, the club’s majority owners, was at Wembley on Sunday to see the Magpies lift their first domestic trophy in 70 years. He watched the 2-1 win over Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final from the Royal Box, before joining the team at Wembley’s Boxpark for a celebratory party. And we understand the Saudi chief is adamant that Isak, scorer of the second goal against the Reds, will not be going anywhere. Sources have told us that Al-Rumayyan is sweeter on the Swedish striker than any other player. Not Isak then (honestly expect him here next season UCL or not).

His stock is pretty high after winning the cup and someone might come in for him in the summer, maybe a CL club on the continent. He might feel its job done and move on but qualifying for the CL this season might change all that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWMag Posted 55 minutes ago Share Posted 55 minutes ago The noise from Eales etc in recent media briefings has been totally different to the past few seasons, in terms of transfers etc, last year and the year before they were very much downplaying our ability to spend etc but in the recent media briefing a few weeks ago they were being much more positive, I feel like we will be in for an interesting summer.

Yeah assuming none of our big players leave bringing in a few key players will take us up another level again. You get the feeling Trafford is coming in and I think CB and RW will be the two main signings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
