The College Dropout Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 1 minute ago, AyeDubbleYoo said: Hmm yeah, really I was just saying that we did go for people with potential to be elite. Initially. They just didn't want to sign for us. Agree on the point of getting in earlier, but that's a slightly separate question. You seemed to be saying we were trying for a lower level of player than we actually were. Even Woltemade was very highly rated and wanted by Bayern. Outside of the Isak replacement we didn't really go for players with potential to be elite. Mbeumo? Joao Pedro? Larsen? Woltemade is a 1 season wonder. His reputation was less than Isak, Tonali. Went from Etikite, Joao Pedro, Isak to more proven versions of the first 2 - surprised we got gazumped. Then the likes of Wissa, Mbeumo etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually said they should largely be squad players to push the first team players. But that some of them will be good enough to start and gave some of ours as examples that are around that fee. If you don't like those examples I could give numerous ones from other clubs that are better than players starting for Newcastle right now. It really wasn't the main point, but if you want to get stuck on that bit and hang your hat on that. Feel free to! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronson333 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 (edited) EXCLU | Newcastle quietly advancing on the Franculino file. Scouts were present to observe the FC Midtjylland striker, who has scored 22 goals this season. At 21 years old, he is also attracting several European clubs and could cost around 25M£. A potential gamble to bolster the Magpies' attack. #NUFC #Mercato #PremierLeague Edited April 23 by Ronson333 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
