lovejoy Posted July 6, 2025 Share Posted July 6, 2025 Just now, simonsays said: Yeah, no doubt we had some interest in him - my hope is we are looking at someone younger and more versatile now though I like him tbh. I'd like us to sign him, i think it makes sense and allows us to utilise the budget elsewhere. I do wonder if he's back on the agenda since the collapse of the Pedro deal. Let's see.

Toon1984 Posted July 6, 2025 Share Posted July 6, 2025 Eddie’ll be pushing the envelope if he manages to prove me wrong about DCL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis H Posted July 6, 2025 Share Posted July 6, 2025 Got to bear in mind that Howe doesn’t necessarily want DCL. If we were allowed to compete fairly he’d be nowhere near here. We aren’t after him instead of some class £100million striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalloNUFC Posted July 6, 2025 Share Posted July 6, 2025 I really really want to nuke the whole thread. Whenever there's a pause in our transfer talks some ppl(both in media & social media) use this name to Gaslight us. It's used to be mctominay but since he has proven that he is no bum, DCL became new bum Newcastle should "pursue". Really hate this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gola Posted July 7, 2025 Share Posted July 7, 2025 Don't see the issue tbh. Half decent back-up who will barely play, and if he's shit then we can sell him to Juve for 20 million next summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t the point that we need someone who will play to take the pressure off of Isak. Having someone who’ll barely play is no use, be as well just giving Wilson an improved offer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP Posted July 7, 2025 Share Posted July 7, 2025 On the right contract its ok cover. Not exciting but an Isak back-up is always going to be hard to sign Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainhaircut Posted July 7, 2025 Share Posted July 7, 2025 Not sure I hate this signing. I think we do need the ability to go beyond the press of some teams such as Bournemouth. For all Isak’s brilliance, he can go missing in some games if we don’t get it into and he certainly isn’t one to battle centre halves. The option of having a target man and having Isak play off him, could be very good either from the start of games or off the bench. Calvert-Lewin brings a real target man ability. It was only a year a bit ago that he dominated Van Dijk. His finishing has been an issue but Eddie would sort that. Would leave us more money to buy a top class centre back and centre mid… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted July 7, 2025 Share Posted July 7, 2025 I'm not questioning DCL's ability as a second choice striker, but he's a sicknote which is no good to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki679 Posted July 7, 2025 Share Posted July 7, 2025 He'll replace Wilson. Not the good Wilson. The Wilson of last season who couldn't run, was always injured and was a complete waste of space on the pitch. Happy days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geogaddi Posted July 7, 2025 Share Posted July 7, 2025 He's about as good as we are going to get really as a backup striker happy to play second fiddle to Isak and with PSR restrictions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
