If we sign Ghehi for 70mil. I wonder if going forwards we'll starting using our scouting setup (lol), to start finding lesser known players. I understand in this situation we need to sign someone who is guaranteed quality in the prem. Fair enough, makes sense. 

 

However, you continue shopping in that price range it's gonna be the case of bringing in one starter every season. Probably not the most efficient way to challenge for the title. 

 

 

 

This is my gripe for seemingly looking at players based in the PL. No value at all.

Yes I think Mitchel will be key for this and in this PSR world it’s vital until it changes (a bit)

Unless the value is that they help you get top 4 if they’re the player they think is perfect for this stage of the teams development and exactly what we need

Dunno like, him having to run the story by sky first and the amount of corroboration they tend to have to have before running a story kind of rings true 

Just watched it now. Hadn't realised he'd said he needs to give it to Sky first.

Elanga shares a lot of similar attributes with Anthony Gordon, in fact there isn't many things that Gordon is capable of that Elanga isn’t, he just hasn’t put it all together yet consistently but he has age on his side to do that

I don’t know what Elanga’s footballing IQ is like which might be the difference, as Gordon’s comes across as being quite high with his off the ball movement in the box which might be what holds Elanga back from performing at a similar level.

 

The question is do we want someone with similar attributes to Gordon down the right or do we need a more technical player?

 

It wouldn’t bother me that Man Utd thought him not good enough, in fact I like the idea of one of their youngsters coming here and fulfilling their potential, same goes for Madueke and Chelsea.

A player we’ve been linked with previously Roger Fernandes from Braga, only 18 years of age left footed and plays either flank.

 

In summary the perfect project player we should be taking a punt on and backing Howe to develop.

I think the project line from Douglas is a load of bollocks tbh

I agree. Supposedly he is good at high pressing and Howe would want that.

a rumour 

 

Argentinian, 22, CDM

 

“Newcastle have plans for Santiago Hezze and could make an offer to Olympiakos in this transfer market.
He went to the Olympic Games and is in the orbit of the National Team.”

That is a fairly decent source I believe

 

[Kanj]

A CDM, sign him. Fk it. 

[Kid Icarus]

Interesting. Wonder if Eddie's known we need this for a while

Aye, just looked him up and saw a few people saying he's tier 1 for Argentinian players.

[KaKa]

A young talented backup to Bruno would be fantastic.

 

Still think we need someone in that position.

Liking the description in this tweet.

Also plays at Olympiakos who are owned by the bloke who owns Forest, who I think we've found relatively straightforward to deal with since the takeover. Bodes well if we are actually in for him.

I like how he's in orbit currently.

No thanks.

Id take him all day on loan if Chelsea took the majority of his wages. Crazy to turn him down while we are looking at the likes of Almiron starting out wide again this season. He can play across the whole front 3.

Same - and I’d chuck him on our right wing

If it's a case of him or Almiron/Murphy, i'd take Sterling all day long.
Eddie has said a number of times that he doesn't like loans though, and we'll never sign him permanently so if it happens it'll be a big move away from our blueprint

Aye loan, no fee and we cover 33% of his wages and it would be canny. Surely no sane club is giving them money for a bloke they have effectively sacked and is on £300k a week.

Incidentally, wasnt part of the Bosman ruling that if you had x amount on your contract and werent allowed to play you could cancel it or did that rule never come to pass?
