I feel we have a chance with both. I’ve had inside info on Paqueta for months and I don’t have any reason to doubt it. Diaby I have no idea. Lodi looks a done deal.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renan_Lodi NEWCASTLE UNITED Lodi singed for Newcastle United on 1st July 2022. He was quoted as saying “I was desperate to sign for Mandy’s Mags. I love bridges, pasties, watching Vera, listening to Sam Fender and I can’t wait to eat at Rios in Jesmond.”
In reality we are going to be linked to every player in the world because what it does is drive up the players value. So agents can use that to their advantage.
Nowt to do with needing convinced mate, more a case of following written, visual and audio evidence. Was going to say no smoke without fire but sometimes its snuffed out before it catches hold. Like my arsonist craic ????
Be very interesting when we make our first signing who it is. But I think we will be happy by the end of the window.
All I know is many nufc fans have set themselves up to feel feel dissapointed, but of course they end up saying they're delighted.
