No bids were reported for Maddison after that deal and so far its the same for Szoboszlai at the moment. This makes a lot of sense. But I really, really wanted Szoboszlai. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12833 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 If we’re willing to sidestep this kid, there’ll be someone else they have lined up as a contingency. If he was even first choice to begin with. Apparently Barella was “Howe’s first choice” a week before he got his actual first choice with Tonali 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they're an elite side and it's likely that they'll be in the Champions League spots this season. We have the parts in place, but we're not there yet. Oh, and we have that sort of signing in; Isak, Bruno, Tonali, Botman, Trippier. And there'll be more to come. Just maybe not this window. I wasn't saying that they're not 'elite', more that we have to take advantage of our advance in schedule to buy this level and age of player. An important aspect with Szoboszlai was wages. He's on wages now where we could afford to give him a hefty bump without breaking the structure and/or bank. That requires the rare balance of age, skill and club. Plus physically I think he would have fit right in. Now I have to hope that I was spectacularly wrong with my thoughts on him, and that he fails miserably at Liverpool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6020 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I can understand the fans disappointment. The perceived wisdom was that we let the Maddison deal slide because we were more interested in this kid. Now he's not happening either. Not to turn into one of those entitled fanbases already, but we need to strengthen the squad to maintain the status quo. Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs aren't going to have shit seasons together again this year. And if Isak/Wilson/Schar/Botman/Almiron etc pick up a bad injury, we are back into Lascelles, Richie, Dummett territory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where we can both afford the fee and the wages without knackering our existing wage structure or breaking FFP. Hell, we might buy that Szoboszlai when he's younger/cheaper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30675 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I remember the club missing a trick in January.

Renton 17950 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 We're 25% through the transfer window. Yonks before the league kicks off even. I never used to bother with these transfer threads, cos I know fuck all and anyway, Ashley. Thought I'd pop me head in this time. Is it always like this? 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2124 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 A new name to add to the list. Samuel Chukwueze, a Nigerian winger who plays for Villarreal. Supposedly AC Milan are leading the race but are haggling over the price of 25-30m euros. He could be a decent option on the right for us. He's supposedly ridiculously fast. Milan fans are going to be burning effigies of the club if we gazump them on this lad as well. https://www.geordiebootboys.com/transfers/newcastle-now-monitoring-amazing-25m-winger-who-is-absolutely-rapid-journalist/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean Milinkovic-Savic? Yeah, he'd be great. We were linked in January, he's got a year left on his contract but will be 29 when it expires. Lazio have offered him a 4yr deal, but it's not clear if he's keen on staying. He'd cost around £30m, apparently. I'd love him here, but like you say he may be off to Milan.

Polarboy 2124 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 The Brazilian transfer window opens on Monday apparently. Seen a story saying that if we're still interested in this Franca lad that we'll likely stick a bid in then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2124 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I do actually think we're more likely to be looking for a winger/forward as opposed to a midfielder/winger now that we've signed Tonali. Which is why links to players like Chiesa, Kudus and Chukwueze make a lot of sense. The Diaby links of course seem to have gone completely cold. I think Howe trusts both Longstaff and Willock to do a job for us along with Bruno, Tonali and Big Joe. An upgrade on Almiron and Murphy seems a much more pressing concern. Willock especially if he can continue his progression could save us a lot of money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
