He’d be demented to choose Chelsea over Arsenal. 

My opinion too. Unless Arsenal are playing 4D chess and waiting for Chelsea to get Sesko so they can have a free run at Osimhen.

So apparently Dortmund want to bring Sancho back, and so are making some players available.

 

Adeyemi is apparently being made available for 30 million Euros, so around 25 million pounds.

 

That's a great price considering his age and potential. Only just turned 22 years old earlier this year.

 

Can legitimately play across the front three positions, but is still a bit raw and will need some patience and development playing down the right side especially. Under a coach like Howe the results could be incredible.

 

At that price, surely worth a punt or no?

 

Very interested to see where he ends up next, if we don't go for him, could see him going to Brighton as Ansu Fati will be returning to Barcelona. Think he'd become immense in their setup too.

 

 

 

I think Youssoufa Moukoko maybe another sneaky pick from Dortmund, immense stats in youth football and scored 10+ goals as a 17 year old in bundesliga.

 

He hasn't played a lot this season and is now 3rd or 4th choice at club. So I think fee wouldn't be crazy and he has many features that Howe likes in particular high pressing and high energy.

 

 

[GeordieDazzler]

Adeyemi is a great shout at that price. Him, Gordon and Isak is some pace upfront like.

[Menace]

Adeyemi/Barnes Gordon/Mbuemo

 

That much depth is legit top 4 worthy - shame about this FFP lark as both could be had for about 70m by the sounds of it

Fuck it take the 4 point hit 🤪

[Joelinton7]

Adeyemi would be a dream for me. I’d have signed at half time v Dortmund

[The Butcher]

Not impressed by Adeyemi's touch in the final.

 

[Stifler]

Well not get Adeyemi like. If we had him, then our front 3 would literally be unstoppable.

No chance he’ll be available for that much as well, not a chance.

[captainhaircut]

We don’t need more pace, we need someone from the right who can break down a defence with some guile or creativity. Adeyemi just runs in straight lines, doesn’t really beat a man and can’t finish. Quick but so is Almiron…

There were some rumours in January that Malen was for sale. Would also be a good shout for a versatile forward and wouldn't be too expensive.

Spot on.

Start of July is when most clubs will be spending. It would be wonderful if we had everything lined up and executed at speed.. sort of like the end of Godfather 1.

 

We can sell before obviously but the only clubs not hamstrung by FFP are Saudi so we need to be far more aggressive in using that market. Our guys need to want to go there too though which is the main thing. We can’t force Miggy or any other player to go anywhere.

 

Minteh probably has more sale potential after his season on loan but again, maybe Howe wants a good look at him before committing to any other right sided forward. He might just be a revelation.

[The Prophet]

Interesting article in the i this morning about the amount and calibre of targets (a lot of the usual material too):

 

Some Newcastle insiders believe this might be the most difficult transfer window since Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) took over as the club balance several competing priorities that have the potential to cause friction.

 

Everyone knows they need to get better but there is divergence on how. Howe has spoken about tweaking things but a radical overhaul becomes the direction of travel if Manchester City target Bruno Guimaraes departs (still rated by those with knowledge of the situation as looking “pretty unlikely” before his £100m release clause expires).

 

Yet there is a school of thought that they need to be bolder anyway, which is not something Howe has talked up publicly. When asked about some of those who could probably be sold for decent chunks of money to create room to spend – think Callum Wilson or Sean Longstaff – he has spoken effusively. But Newcastle need to get better in several areas to threaten the top four again, which is impossible without player trading in the era of profitability and sustainability rules (PSR).

 

Injuries were mitigation for failing to challenge last season but there are areas where they desperately need to upgrade. Club sources suggest a right winger, a right-sided centre-back, back-up striker and a goalkeeper to challenge Nick Pope are the bare minimum.

 

And we’re not talking making up the numbers here. “Simple: taking us up another level,” was what one source told i when asked about criteria for recruits.

 

At the moment the majority of the targets that have emerged have Premier League experience on their CV but the club have been scouting in France, Italy and Germany over the past 12 months. A potential “July surprise” – think Sandro Tonali’s move from AC Milan which blindsided many – is more likely than not.

 

But so much is still unknown at Newcastle, where even the identity of the next director of football is unclear. One source believes it will be a “complicated” summer at St James’ Park. “They want to get better but there’s an awful lot of moving parts,” they said.

 

After missing out on Tosin Adarabioyo – the Fulham centre-back held advanced talks with Newcastle before Chelsea blew them out of the water on wages – the Magpies have turned their attention to wrapping up a deal for Bournemouth’s Lloyd Kelly.

 

That hasn’t been done yet – some final details still need to be ironed out – but Kelly’s enthusiasm for linking up with Howe is cause for optimism. He was on Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur’s radar so a move for the versatile defender would represent a solid start to the window.

 

Spanish reports claim Newcastle have lodged a formal offer for Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili – which has been played down in the north-east – but there have been talks. They also like Burnley’s James Trafford, who is a cheaper alternative.

 

But given the financial year ends on 30 June, and a new PSR calculation starts, it feels like things will really rev into gear next month.

 

Newcastle’s power brokers will be watching developments in Manchester City’s legal case against the Premier League over associated party transaction (APT) regulations keenly.

That case – to be heard over a fortnight from 10 June and reported by The Times on Tuesday – could potentially rip up regulations surrounding commercial deals signed with companies linked to the club’s owners.

 

It is those rules which have helped limit Newcastle’s ability to turbocharge their revenue by signing deals with companies linked to PIF’s sprawling business empire. At the moment any commercial deal has to go through fair market value rules which have been tightened in the years since Newcastle’s takeover.

 

City’s case – if successful, and that is far from a given – would obliterate those and while Newcastle were staying tight-lipped on Tuesday, it is hard to imagine they won’t be cheering them on. Getting more freedom on Saudi-related commercial deals would be hugely controversial but also a potential game-changer for a club hemmed in by PSR.

 

Regardless of that potential big bang moment for the Premier League, there are deals in the works to follow Newcastle’s lucrative announcement of JD Sports as their new retail partners. i understands talks with a potential training kit sponsor – which they did not have last season – are ongoing.

In their efforts to improve the squad, every little matters.

 

Initial talks over a new deal with Alexander Isak’s representatives are motivated by the club’s view of him as priceless this summer. Arsenal – his most interested suitors – have “no chance”, insiders insist. Newcastle sincerely believe he can become one of if not the best forward in the world and he is line to become one of the highest paid players in the club’s history if he recommits.

 

Below him there are a crop of players with contracts expiring in 2025: Wilson, Fabian Schar, Dan Burn, Kieran Trippier, Martin Dubravka, Emil Krafth and Jamaal Lascelles. Some are key men but if Newcastle are to move definitively to the next stage, others will surely leave in this most pivotal of summers.

the Athletic mentioned a summer budget of about what we spend last year. 
 

Also interest in relegated players? Other than Trafford can anyone think of others we might hold an interest in?  

Olly Arblaster.

Aye I see that, I don’t see the pathway for him though, given our funds are limited the play is to bolster the starting 11 and backfill any departures with any funds we raise from what we get from selling.

Yes, he was mentioned as being available as well. He actually wants to leave too.

Another that looks like he'll be available. As you say, has completely fallen off this season, as the manager hasn't given him opportunities to play.

He’s massively highly rated, got to the Champions League final, and created a lot of Dortmunds chances. He’s not going to be sold for about £25m.

[Sima]

I'll take Fingerblaster if he is cheap enough.

He has not progressed like they thought and has been in and out of the team this season. He is still not the finished product and needs further developing.

 

The report states they are looking to recoup what they paid for him, which was the 30 million Euros fee, to put towards their bid for Sancho.

 

This is being reported while you're making stuff up in your head, which is pretty annoying.
