LooneyToony 41 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Take a chance on this Praet kid. Yes he didn't have a great season statistically speaking at Sampdoria, but his manager kept putting him out there (30+ appearances) so he must have done something right at 22 years of age. I think I read somewhere that he was refereed to as the next Eden Hazard, and I doubt we're going to get anything better than that for what we're spending.

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 PSG have bid over 200 million for Mbappe and Fabinho from Monaco. Surely if UEFA are wanting to keep financial fair play as a tactic to keep transfer payments down etc then they should be kicked out of Europe for completely ignoring the "ruling" which has already been shown to be a shambles.

Apparently it's a loan so they don't pay the money til next season.

trooper 940 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Lucas Perez latest According to the Press Association, NUFC are one of seven clubs interested in the Arsenal forward. Rafa Benitez admitted he liked the player earlier in the window but Arsenal’s asking price of £13.4 million was deemed too much. Joselu has since arrived on Tyneside and Benitez said on Friday that the striker business is now finished. IF we're not looking for another striker we're " Donald Ducked" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 We've got numbers, strikers-wise, even if they are all a bit shit. If we sign another striker then signing Joselu was a bit "quackers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snodgrass is a decent number ten and a major improvement on anything else we've got, especially at the price he'd cost relative to current market rates. He's far from any major improvement on anything we've got. He's also a whining prick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's capable of being a decent striker for us if Rafa plays him and doesn't starve him of service. I have high hopes for this lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I obviously hope you're right and he is capable of being a decent premier league striker, but what do you base that assessment on? A few appearances off the bench for stoke and a meagre goal return, or do you know something the rest of us don't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good signing if true. Loads of rumours this morning about Riviere and De Jong heading out the door. Happy if this means we're bringing in more players, but De Jong was actually the only #10 on our books I had faith in. Based on little more than cameos and hope.
