Firmino with Isak and Gordon as wide forwards would be hella interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firmino would have been perfect for us 5 seasons ago, but hes played 300+ games for Liverpool while pressing like a maniac and is 32 now.. half a season strolling around in the Saudi league won’t have helped either. His fitness record is decent though. Edited January 5, 2024 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I replied is because I have done the same about a player like him for a while, a younger Firmino type of our own would be absolutely perfect providing we don’t look to keep Isak in the middle of the three.

jackflap Posted January 5, 2024 Share Posted January 5, 2024 I imagine the Guirassy link is bollocks but the release clause is cheap, he plays for Guinea and they've got Senegal and Cameroon in their group so wouldn't be favorites to progress and he hasn't played in the last 2 weeks because of the winter break. We do look in need of an injection of energy that players in dire need of a rest and players just back from a long term layoff are unlikely to give us.

BoSelecta Posted January 5, 2024 Share Posted January 5, 2024 At £15m if he can run it’s worth doing, if he can finish it’s a cast iron no brainer - doubt we’ll be the only ones in for him mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted January 5, 2024 Share Posted January 5, 2024 It's based on him having a good season, lazy journalists, if you look past nufc news he's literally in talks with, Milan, Spurs, Man Utd, Bayern, Liverpool, West Ham, Newcastle, probably many more. Closing in on 28yrs, probably agent desperate to get that big move. The release clause will be extremely tempting for some, but as pointed out, its like eating a sweet with the wrapper still on not being able to use him for potentially a month.

andycap Posted January 5, 2024 Share Posted January 5, 2024 So does how say in the short term signings would be nice but in the longterm we have players coming back? So what does that mean? Are we happy staying as we are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless there are unexpected developments (like long term target becoming available on the cheap unexpectedly, more season ending injuries), yes, and rightfully so.

TRon Posted January 5, 2024 Share Posted January 5, 2024 15 hours ago, Dr Jinx said: I could see someone like Spurs move for him. Not for £20m they won't. It has the feel of trying to get £15m for Dwight Gayle when he was around 30. Teams would probably pay it for a player who was likely to play most of the season but they aren't daft enough to pay big money for a striker who has a 40% turn out rate.

His injury record will put a lot of teams off. Of course if he stays fit until the end of the season he could end up with 15 goals again and if we end up in Europe giving him that contract won't have seemed such a bad shout.

Away Toon Posted January 6, 2024 Share Posted January 6, 2024 Juventus have pulled out of the race to sign 28-year-old Manchester City and England midfielder Kalvin Phillips, who is also wanted by Newcastle United. (Sun) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverThere Posted January 6, 2024 Share Posted January 6, 2024 (edited) No one can afford Phillips. Unless Man C covers a good amount of his wages he won't be going anywhere. Also, they want rid and no one can afford his wages after a permanent transfer, since they pay the most in the world with exception of Real/Barca/PSG. He's stuck there as far as I can see unless he takes a pay cut: does he want to play and be very wealthy or not play and be even more wealthy.
