This is what I'm hoping re Diaby. Bad start for Leverkusen this year and he's apparetnyl grumbling... We've already been in negotiation for him early in the window and he was pretty much target #1. I can't see us getting him for as little as that however... we'd probably have to match what we paid for Isak. Connor Gallagher would be the standout option from Chelsea if we are able to sign Diaby or another winger.
I have no idea if we are done or if the owners have seen what's happened and think there's a chance of top 6 and decided to go for it and we will buy a couple more
I'm really calling it we will be top 6 if we add one of either Maddison or Diaby. Exciting times ahead.
Don't think we will get one of these (I was part of the 60M brigade though so what do I know!) Regardless, I've not been this excited in a very long time
So potentially Newcaslte United squad on 1st September 2022 (4-3-3): Pope Trippier Schar Botman Targett Gallagher Bruno Joelinton Diaby Isak ASM Subs: Darlow, Burn, Krafth, Lascelles, Willock, Shelvey*, Anderson, Almiron, Wilson.
Isak announcement delayed while another comes in the back door - Paqueta on loan I'm hearing... ...from the voices in my head.
That's next season. In the meantime, we can be happy with 6th while laughing the massive mackems losing their manager to Real Stoke City.
