Think he’d do very well for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I wouldn’t be playing him as an out and out striker but his pace was fantastic and I think under Howe he’d be a completely different player. Excellent work rate too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent work rate too Yep totally agree with this. Would love to see what Howe could do with him and I thought the raw ingredients were there during his time at Chelsea but they just played him in the wrong position so often he ultimately failed. Similar to us with Joelinton I guess. If it wasn't for Howe/the coaches (and a sprinkling of Ciaran Clark) he'd have probably been written off too.

Halve it and cleverness with FFP would work but you get the sense someone like Branthwaite from Everton as needy sellers to fund Bramley Dock would make more sense.

The College Dropout Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Germsn players have excellent PR. Lad has been bad for 3 years. Kicked out of Chelsea. Now Leipzeig want rid after 18 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Leipzeig want rid after 18 months. He missed a ton of chances he shouldn’t have for Chelsea but his build-up play and wide forward play was very good for them in my opinion. He just wasn’t the solution for them in front of goal and likely wouldnt be for us either but I do think he’d add something to us on the wing and as an attacking midfielder. Not seen him once since he went back to Leipzig though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 He's allegedly a long-standing target, no? Seemed done and dusted a while back, no idea why it hasn't gone through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seen him once since he went back to Leipzig though I agree with that. I liked him but he's not impressed in front of goal at RBL since he's gone back either. I think we need a different profile of player - a playmaker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 To me, Werner looked like a player better suited to continental football. If he’s not doing well in the Bundesliga that’s even more of a concern. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Next 2 Windows in no particular order - Keeper CB loads of options but would love a top tier one like Silva. CF Sesko DM Kone RW Nico Williams Still think we need to find that clever player like Gundogan or Silva to break teams down, hard to find though but would be high up on the list alongside above if we could identify one.

STM Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 1. RW/Versatile forward player. For me whoever this is needs to be elite and ready to go. Even as good as Gordon has been, I want someone with experience, pedigree and quality. I also want someone who doesn't need Trippier to hold their hand from RB. 2. CB. Find another Botman. Easier said than done. This would allow us to rotate between Schar, Botman and a new CB, with Lascelles there as a more than useful back up. 3. DM. I know some want a "proper DM" who goes around smashing opposition players up but not for me. We just need someone who can take the weight off Bruno and can offer us the option of moving Bruno forward. This is what we are missing in our CL games. I don't want us to lose anything with regards to our ball retention because we've signed a bruiser. Palhinha, Neves or Caqueret, if we want a younger option. In this scenario, we might have to think about giving both Miley and Anderson loan moves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aa5773 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 It's clearly loan moves this January (either from Saudi's clubs or elsewhere) rather than permanent moves Newcastle doesn't have the financial capability to do permanent signing due to FFP Unless there's some big move on sponsorship (stadium naming right) or bold move regarding FFP (or unregarding FFP) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteV Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Seems like Werner’s on about £160k p/w so unless Leipzig are willing to pay 50%+ of that, I very much doubt we, or anybody else, will be prepared to take him on loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
