KaKa Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 That Savona isn't really up to scratch I don't think. Can't see it being him we're after. I think if we're looking at a Juve centre back it will be Tiago Djalo, the guy that won Ligue 1 partnering our very own Sven Botman in France. I saw his name pop up as an option for us a month ago. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/soccer/newcastle-united/news/newcastle-united-weigh-move-serie-defensive-star/6a7d5ab66c1c9fea74d1acaf We were strongly linked with him before he joined Juve. He got injured early on there, and it didn't quite work out. Think he was on loan at Porto last year. When all these expensive striker bids started going in for the likes of Pedro and Ekitike, it did make me wonder if we'd be saving money by getting Djalo in on loan initially, ash he'll likely be available on that sort of deal. He fits more the sort of profile people want in a Botman partner, and already played with him and won a title doing so in France. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSG Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 It’s very unlike us to drop 3 names to journos of players we’re interested in. Surely it’s a bluff. My money is on back in for Guehi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 Did say after the Kelly transfer I wouldn’t be surprised if we bought a player off Juve this or the next window as some sort of bent deal like others have been doing. Never heard of this lad mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already are but we could be weaker by September. I think we'll be even stronger than we are now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 I thought we needed at least 3 new players before the window, in terms of squad depth. Wilson has gone and Longstaff is about to leave also so we're technically 1 down. We really could do with 4 more signings, but imagine we'll end up with 3.

Striker Midfielder Defender Goalkeeper Imo that's the priority order tho could easily switch around defender and midfielder Have a feeling we might only sign two more players but would be happy with first 3 even if it meant shelving keeper plans til next summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 Aye, going into the window, GK, CB, RW, CF were the priorities. With Longstaff off we could use a CM too, granted playing with two in the middle could negate that need a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I think ST is causing a bottleneck and we need to get it resolved ASAP. I think we can get Trafford and maybe a CB after that, but I doubt we get another midfielder.

Whitley mag Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 (edited) Wissa, Lookman, Sesko and DCL can’t really think of any other strikers out there. The lad from Porto looks a bit raw for the money he’d cost, but surely there must be an exciting young striker in Europe that’s not been linked yet ? If we are trying to future plan we should be all over Sesko. Edited July 17, 2025 by Whitley mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagPar Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 I'm reasonably confident we'll get a centre half, a central midfielder and at least one pretty top notch striker. I wouldn't mind a cheaper one too, either a promising youth or an experienced older head (cough Jamie Vardy cough), just in case an injury crops up. Do we have any academy lads good enough to step up? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted July 17, 2025 Share Posted July 17, 2025 Yeah Vardy hasn't left Leicester because he thinks he's good enough to play in the PL, he's left Leicester because he's not good enough to play in the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
