Random Rumours

Reminder: When are we selling players for profit? This is a big misconception. We are buying HIGH and selling if we can.

 
We are being linked with Karim Adeyemi again? Is he an Alonso type of player? Personally i would pass.

 
Should be all over this if Cucurella leaves.

I’d like Doue from Strasbourg, then we’d be set at fullback for the next decade.

With Barco coming onboard, I can’t this happening. Think he will be initially used in a LWB role till he is experienced enough and moved into the middle.

 
“Chelsea have focused on signing young players but are keen to add more experience. Their interest in Jarrod Bowen is not at an advanced stage but they believe he could offer competition on the right and potentially provide cover for their strikers.”

He is a mid table flat track bully. Plays on the RW, you would hope the remember they have a Brazilian wonderkid who needs game time.

We need players for the left wing, not for the right!

We already have 3 at least suitable options for the right wing in Palmer, Estevao and Neto. On the left we only have Neto (on his weaker side), Gittens and Garnacho...

 
Jarrod Bowen [29] being linked to Chelsea, Liverpool and United.

i would say no. We do not need to sign An above average and past his prime right winger - that is NOt what we need.

Transfer rumours are a bit moot right now given The Athletic reported Alonso will have final say?

Surely the directors weren't lying......

There was a sell-on clause in his deal, not a buy back unfortunately. Fat chance anyway given that his family is Newcastle was a big factor in the move anyway.

 
This was the worry. That these "experienced, PL-proven" players we ere going to look at, would just be average mid-table players, like Tosin all over again.

Yeah if we are going for someone on the right I'd prefer Harry Wilson.

For the left there are some good options out there for decent price point. Harvey Elliott for one could do well in an Alonso system. Whilst Brandt is about to leave Dortmund on a free, lots of experience there.

And even if Cucu doesn't leave, which I don't think that he wants to, I still think that we should try to get Hall back. I'm not sure why he desperately wanted to leave for Newcastle to then wanting to leave them. Unless it's Newcastle that needs selling for economic reasons. Very bizarre situation for them.

Two reasons why he left: (1) He felt he wasn't getting first team opportunities and he fancied himself as a midfielder, the position he mainly played coming up through the age groups. He had a few games at LB but showed frailties, probably understandable given his youth. He has grown immeasurably at Newcastle. Howe didn't toss him straight into the deep end, spent quite some time on the bench and learning the trade.

(2) His family have always been Newcastle so the move seemed obvious to him.

There is no evidence that he wants to leave Newcastle. Just internet speculation. Ditto their need to sell.

I knew the reasons why he left, what I meant is that I don't understand why he'd want to leave Newcastle when he really wanted to play there. As you say, it's probably just speculation, although it has been mentioned that Newcastle needs to sell to avoid FFP (or whatever) problems (though, I'm not sure if this is real).

They did a Chelsea and sold property to themselves which helped. Allowed by the PL, not by UEFA, though they're not in Europe so that's less of a problem for now. They picked up £125m selling Isak to Liverpool but spent around £230m on Woltemade, Wissa, Elanga and Ramsey to no great effect. Their own worst enemies. Time will tell.

 
The Pedros. Barcelona hovering around our players - Jaoa Pedro and Pedro Neto - i hate Barcelona. They cannot afford to buy the players, they are just being disruptive.

Brentford agreeing a deal for Said El Mala.

Thank goodness. Fair to say any players we were linked with are put on hold until Alonso gets in. Least that's what I am hoping.
