I doubt newcastle can pull a top striker yet... Nobody established anyway. They'll have something not quite right about them or they'll have fallen out of favour perhaps.
DCL falls into that category and howe might take that punt because only this time last year he was hot property. They can't just go out buying Nunez or at least that's by view atm.
I think many nufc fans are setting themselves up to be disappointed this summer. The club have repeatedly told us that it's going to be done slowly and we need to have patience.
There's some medium i think. It was the same with Man City before they could get the absolute top names.
What i mean is we're not gonna get Messi and Lewandowski yet, but at the same time we will see a transition from signings like Jacob Murphy, Jamaal Lewis, Isaac Hayden and Joselu.
DCL startes last season on fire then faded significantly, then has been injured just about all this season, i think we'd be signing another Carroll with him. I've a feeling they'll put big bids in for decent strikers, just hope its not DCL.
