janpawel Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Just now, Lotus said: Think Villa would be Delap’s best landing spot for his career tbh. He'd be way better under Howe or Emery than those 2 clubs, that's for sure Isak, Mbuemo, Gordon, Barnes, Delap is a quality front 5 options for 3 places that could do a bit of everything With Murphy and his peach of a right foot as 6th choice and Osula on loan, depending on what Howe thinks of him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I really like Elanga. Probably the fastest player in the league, great weak foot, bags of work rate/running, good age and seemingly a very nice lad. The guy is everything Eddie loves in a winger/player and I have every confidence Howe could turn him into something quite special. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mbeumo would offer us something different. He's left-footed and has a great touch on the ball. Maybe needs to shed a kilo or two but I daresay Eddie would sort that.

jack j Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 50 minutes ago, Paully said: Athletic Crystal Palace’s Guehi remains admired at centre-back, Burnley’s James Trafford has long been a goalkeeper target, while Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, Nottingham Forest’s Anthony Elanga and Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo are among the right wingers Newcastle have tracked, and Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap is a striker they have closely followed. Significant due diligence has taken place on targets across multiple positions. As for Longstaff, that situation is different. The 27-year-old has not started a league match since December 12 and he is about to enter the final 12 months of his contract. Should Newcastle receive a decent offer for the midfielder, he is likely to go — the club exercised an extension in Longstaff’s present deal primarily to protect his value — should he choose to. Willock and Barnes face uncertain futures. As far as I am aware, Newcastle have not been actively looking to move on either but, given sales will help facilitate the incomings required, should serious interest be shown in Willock or Barnes, there is a chance one or both could leave. I want another Isak Or Tonali type from abroad this summer. They're the 2 transfers that have had me proper buzzing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s his job. He’s not setting up as many as Murphy this season but Murphy is relatively old and succession planning is important.

r0cafella Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Id take Huijsen over Guehi personally. Higher ceiling imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Think Semenyo would give us something a bit different. Mbeumo I think is a superior version of what we already have at LW. He's a forward rather than a midfielder. I'd prefer another midfielder type that can graft. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think I’ve seen too many on here losing their heads? And similar talk has been going on fyears soon There might have been a couple that I don’t even remember, who cares, just ignore. There will be tons of talk and made up shite too being thrown around. I’m sure people will be talking about these things on here. I personally won’t care at all really. IF we decide to sell a player it’s because we’ve chosen to sell, or that’s for a ridiculously inflated fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankpingel Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 As has been said, the most important thing is we're still on the rise. It's exciting and something to enjoy. Given our transfer incomings to date, I've every faith we'll do well this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I can understand the Barnes links. He’s at peak resale value this summer, and if club thinks Cordero has big potential for LW, an offer of £45m+ for Barnes makes them tempted to use that to sign a CM (with Joelinton / Osula the back up LW for one season) with new RW on other side.

Coffee_Johnny Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 21 minutes ago, The College Dropout said: Unless we really need the money I don’t understand selling Barnes I could see it; especially if he isn’t content to compete with Gordon (who I think is a better player). I like Barnes, and would be happy to keep him. His contributions and his stats are good this season, but I don’t quite think he is at the level we want. I think we can do better. Too many unforced errors/heavy touches for me to be clamouring to keep at all costs. Barnes, Willock, Longstaff, Targett = £80m+ l; add to this an estimated £100m currently able to spend, and we could be pushing the boat out this Summer and pulling up trees next season.
