Better "footballer" than Joelinton maybe, but I'm not sure he's as effective 

It is hard not to love our human battering ram, and Joelinton is effective at what he does - but the weaknesses in his game remain.  Gallagher would be a 15 goal a season midfielder playing for NUFC

We have

Am I really reading someone say Longstaff is better than him? 
 

That said, I wouldn’t be signing him when we’ve gone about 3 years looking for a RW and still haven’t managed to get one.

Maybe you'll find the big things (along side with your right boot) to be stuck up your ass 

 

 

 

Hilarious.

[Tiresias]

Don't want Gallagher we already have a bunch of all action midfielders we need a defensive technical type more imo.

Yea we have in the past, not this summer mind. Maybe he was on the Tonali list but Chelsea always asked for crazy money.

Gallagher is effective in front of goal and getting into those positions for sure, but for me he doesn't dominate the game as much as Joelinton can at his best, and definitely doesn't carry the ball as well. At least from the eye test, I'm sure there'll be stats that contradict this. 

 

Having a midfielder who can drive you 20 yards up the pitch with the ball, quickly, is key to stopping you getting hemmed in, the two Joes are the only ones in our team capable of it and we missed it last season at times.

Joelinton 3/1 for a yellow card tomorrow seems like a good price

Yesterday by the Spanish version of FootballInsider, so not really

[gbandit]

I’m sure if Howe could make it work he’d sling Longstaff and bring in Gallagher as they’re similar players but one is just better at everything apart from maybe their late runs. As it stands the transfer doesn’t make sense for our squad or our financial situation 

[Parsley]

I like Gallagher - and he'd be a vast improvement on Longstaff - but another CM can't be a priority ahead of CB or RW, particularly with Tonali back soon. Longstaff has his limitations as a starter but he's solid as a squad option.

Yeah, fuck signing an 18 cap International whose played over a 100 games in the Premier League and is under the age of 25. What an utterly awful signing that would be.

Let’s get McTominay at same time.

 

If we end up getting another CM, we need it to be one who can play deeper, and one who can take ball under pressure. Literally have no-one who can do similar to Bruno, but got loads who can press.

He goes on my BB anyway but thats a daft price. Actually 11/4 on PP and have a free bet to use so thats the first part

Gallagher would hinder the progress of the Mileys, it's a no for me.

 

3x Mileys, Finneren & Harrison. A lot of talent there for a few years time, if we do right by them.

£60m

Good luck not detonating yourselves Chelsea. Everyone knows you want to sell him as you have too many players, you fucking idiots

They'll be lucky to avoid legal action and losing players on frees.

Hopefully we'll re-consider the Turkish RW. Or have a target completely out of the blue - A Kubo type or similar.

re-consider? The story was bollocks in the first place

Latest stuff from Douglas if anyone is interested:

 

Newcastle United are edging closer to a club record deal for Marc Guehi after tabling a fourth bid understood to be in the region of £65m.

 

The Magpies are one of several Premier League clubs “spinning plates” in the final fortnight of the transfer window with player exits still a possibility to facilitate further signings.

 

An insider predicted a “frantic” end to the summer, with the transfer market finally hotting up and Newcastle braced for bids for Kieran Trippier and Miguel Almiron, who was the subject of interest from Major League Soccer side Charlotte FC this week.

 

But it is England defender Guehi who has always been the club’s top central defender target, and a fourth offer to Palace that is closer to their asking price could finally bring an end the long-running saga

 

Palace are considering the bid and it may require further tweaks to the terms before they accept it – Chelsea have a sizeable, 20 per cent sell-on clause for Guehi – but the latest offer appears to have changed the mood music around the deal.

 

It looks increasingly as if Newcastle will be required to top the £63m they paid for Alexander Isak two years ago to broker a deal for Guehi and the size of the fee is why the club’s director of football Paul Mitchell has been attempting to drive a hard bargain.

 

Newcastle’s position under the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) means every extra million paid out for Guehi is felt in their attempts to recruit elsewhere.

 

They are actively in the market for a right winger and are also understood to be looking at further “project players” in the mould of William Osula, who they signed from Sheffield United last week.

 

An unsettling summer has seen Newcastle lose Yankuba Minteh and Elliot Anderson, two of their outstanding young players, to comply with PSR while struggling to offload some players who are surplus to requirements.

 

Then there is a third column of players that Howe wants to keep in an ideal world but must contemplate selling to provide PSR headroom. One of those is Almiron but Howe insisted on Friday he remains a “very important player” in the Newcastle squad and, as i reported earlier this week, there is no desire to drive him out of the club.

Some here suggested Madueke would be available around 27-28m.

The Athletic reported that fee. And then another article from another Athletic journo reported £65m+.
