STM Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Seems we are probably suffering a 5m tax on the young English players we are signing. Gordon = 40m Barnes = 33m Livramento = 30/35m Would have all been much more accurate prices for position and age of said players. It's been a looooooong time since Newcastle United have started hoovering up quality British/Irish players and I'm all for it. Let's hope we aren't done.

STM Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Interesting that Livramento seems a very different type to Trippier. Where as Trippier wants to dink passes or play in triangles, this lad looks to want to burst past players. Another physical specimen. Good stuff.

Now that we have dead-ball aficionado Sandro, I like the idea of our next RB being an absolute juggernaut pacing up the wing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 It's also that "pace" people have been asking for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) Not sure why a lot of people expected LB to be priority over RB, there was far less depth across Trippier/Krafth/Ashby than there is in Burn/Targett. Makes total sense that it’s a RB. Edited August 3, 2023 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why I’m not overly harsh on Man Utd’s fees as clubs always charged them extra knowing they had the cash. The days of us getting a “bargain” are over but that’s not to say we can’t dig our heals in and not over pay massively. Though with this approach you’ll have to accept losing some targets or negotiations taking longer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weezertron Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Can always whack tripps on the left, Tino on the right if there are folks worrying about our LB options. Unlikely to happen, but it's an option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 The boss constantly comments on liking players who can fill different positions. Yes this new lad can fill in for Tripps but he can also offer something further up on the right, can see him coming on for Almiron too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we've got no-one at left back with the quality of Trippier, and have been relying on Burn(who has done a great job there) but he's always been just doing the job. We need a left footed Trippier, as it obvious Dummet can't do it any more, and EH really doesn't seem to like Targett that much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Trippier tier LB would and will be a next level gamechanger to our team but we can likely continue with the depth we have at LB either to January or next summer. Getting Tino was an opportunity we couldn't miss and it hopefully locks down RB for the better part of a decade. Fingers crossed we can get someone like Tierney loan to buy too!

Miggys First Goal Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 So with the time we seem to take with medicals and getting all the media stuff done, this should probably be announced officially next Friday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Didn’t Targett fall Ill and then get injured? perhaps the illness knocked him physically and by the time he had fully recovered we were so deep into the season Howe just felt Burn should continue as the unit was working so well? not necessarily down to Howe not fancying him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
