What goalscorer are Burnley going to sign with 2 weeks of the window left even of they have a couple of quid. It's massively difficult.to find strikers who will hit the ground running in the prem.
Hopefully nobody!! They have the opportunity though. However, that doesn't make the signing a mistake. We need to focus on what we need and we needed a striker in asap.
Don’t know mate he’s out of favour at Juve. And he’s probs possible. I am trying to think of any decent cm in the championship. Can’t think of any. Think it willl end up being someone from France probs. Gini may fancy a return: always spoke highly of us.
Frustrating. On one hand the media are so quick to point out we're "only" Newcastle, deep in trouble, staring at relegation so what kind of players could we possibly sign. Then in the next breath it's all "Wood? Are you having a laugh?" I'm - of course - deeply underwhelmed, as I was by Howe, as I was by Hammond. Time will tell, and hopefully - like with the takeover - I'm eventually wrong. But pragmatically, all things considered, can Wood be the kind of player we've been missing? Is he better than Gayle?! What are the alternatives? Even thinking about the choice of manager - is Howe here to manage Dybala, Greizmann, De Ligt, Brozovic, et al? Or is he here to get a tune out of Champ-level players? The premium price is threefold - our situation, he's a PL player and we are KSA owned. But by the same token, numbers are utterly and completely irrelevant; we've got to literally completely tune out of price - I said this to a mate yesterday, money means nowt, it's 'needs must'. It's not about sell on value, it's not about star quality. We've got four months to turn this clusterfuck around and if Chris Wood scores 6 goals, all winners, for 18 points? Worth twice as much. Looks like the window is all about experience. Does that mean Ramsey will be here next? Possibly even Digne? Then maybe it's moves for brighter talent like Botman, etc. in the Summer.
We might stand more chance if we win a couple in a row from Sat. Players don't want to risk their careers when fluid say to their agent ". Tell them to ask in 3 months." It's only 3 months a tiny wait in the players eyes to secure a Premier league contract without a huge risk
I would watch these names and see how many we get linked too if we haven't already - Not saying we'll sign them - just linked in the press with - this isn't some crap ITK thing its a hunch on how the press and ITK accounts operate - all have same agent as Trippier - who's agent told us about Woods release clause - and then we were linked with Gleison Bremner last night. James Maddison Wilfried Zaha Dele Alli Gleison Bremer Eberechi Eze Jens Cajuste Ronaldo Vieira Cole Palmer Raoul Bellanova Jetro Willems Also Botman's agent is Bergwein's agent who we were being linked with yesterday. Also has Jorrit Hendrix on his books too.
There's another 3 or 4 minimum still to join this month, but who is the question. I don't care who really they're signing solid players to keep us up and then in the summer that's when the bigger names start become more possible
