Isak - no... won't happen IMO. Pacqueta - "I'd love it"... but can't see it. Diaby... I have an inkling that might happen.
I've long since given up on this prick, but yet another example of his wishy washy flippy floppy journalism.
My preference would be Diaby without a doubt. There's other strikers out there I'd have ahead of Isak personally. Scamacca very much looks like he'll be on the move, West Ham heavily linked and that's one we should be all over but I very much feel he's like Mitro 2.0. There's a kid called Valentin Castellanos who plays for New York that I've seen mentioned once or twice in recent days and he looks canny but would be a far cheaper alternative if we're going to take a gamble.
If they bought diaby and loaned a striker that would be a good window for sure Trippier Botman Gamereas Diaby That's 4 really good quality players in 2 windows.
Which is great if the plan is to win the ball, cut inside and shoot on your "stronger" foot but **** all use if you're trying to get quick crosses into the box
Possibly they are waiting to see how the current squad perform before chucking loads more cash at it. I would, or you could end up in an Everton situation spending a fortune and going backwards. We need a CF but we need the right CF. Howe will get them working as a team and it's going to be a great season.
Again, I have no idea how you can enter a PL season with two 30+ year old options up front, particularly when one is Chris Wood and the other is made of wood. I think that could be catastrophic - for all Wood was part of the surprise run last season, he's a really poor player who can't head, shoot or score. Was just rooting around players - Luka Jović left Madrid for FREE last week, is 24 years old and scored 4 on his subsequent Fiorentina debut. Where are we for moves like this? Fiorentina would have been nowhere near our wages. My job isn't to scout for players, but surely this could've been a no brainer? Brian Brobbey has been linked with Man U - why aren't we going for him, he's about £15-20m, he's not getting a game with Man U favouring a 4-2-3-1 now and Ronaldo, Martial and Rashford vying for a single spot.
The tweet - no it doesn't. He didn't tweet it, he wrote in an article for the Torygraph on the 23rd March that Newcastle weren't going to be signing any superstars in the summer and the budget was going to be less than the £90m they spent in January. If i recall correctly he said it was £60m plus sales (they is re-reported as his words in many many places online) but the actual story is locked behind a paywall. Feel free to have a look yourself but there's no way on earth I'm paying a penny towards that one-eyed abortion of a rag claiming to be a newspaper. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/footbal...Echobox&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1648033294
