With a name like Sesko I was sure he'd be a huge black dude, but he's a skinny white guy lol. Isn't a 19 year old a huge risk though?
Howe saying new signings now "unlikely" after YET ANOTHER game where we struggled in the final third. ****ing tiresome.
He quoted it after last nights game. Sounded downbeat about it as well. That the market conditions are difficult.
This bid for Maddison seems legit aswell. Interesting that we are going for a CM and not a striker or RW. Miggy made captain last night suggests that Eddie is happy with him.
Not happening, we wouldn't be making bids for Ekitike, Nunez, Paqueta blah blah if money was tight. After making such a statement in Jan, is doesn't make sense for spending to stop now.
From what I read he said new signings before the Forest game were unlikely but never say never. He was not referring to further signings in this transfer window.
Maddison has proven effective at RW too. Presumably would be predominantly used alongside Joelinton and Bruno but viewed as an option for RW if required.
He's an excellent player who is fully PL proven, so other than the fact £40million wont get him... What's the beef?
Yes probably. I would love it if we got him. He’s a good player. But we need to pay 60m for them to even consider. Which I don’t think we will.
They want £60million because he's one of their best players, who scores and creates a lot of their goals. It's not really a Newcastle tax thing, I don't think... Contract is running down though so may be able to get him for a bit less than that.
They have been told they need to sell before they can buy. Quite funny because I reckon within the next few months a few of these clubs that voted with the 5 to ban friendly sponsorship deals may be kicking themselves when the realise their owners can't do it anymore either.
I agree. 50m and deal could be done. Massive upgrade on Shelvey. I think this is the one we will pursue.
