This isn't going to happen
Botman and Ekitike.
That's bollox.They've told us since day 1 there was 250 million to spend on the 1st team squad over years.
That's bollox.
So we have 150m over the next 5 windows?Essentially it's a slow build which they were always very keen to tell us from day one, but people simply pretended they didn't hear it or they acknowledged, but performed mental gymnastics to explain it as a way of keeping prices down.
Nufc don't need to throw money away they have to build the club.

Calm down fella.Botman 30m Ekitike 25m Targett 15m
70m spend and progress.
That’s all we can ask for really and would be ideal business.

I don't think Ekitike is the striker target, I think they see him progressing to that central role in a few years time after playing out on the wing and will possibly have a main striker target in mind.
I'm pretty sure Ekitike will be competing for a start immediately. It's the very thing Newcastle can offer him that the other bigger clubs probably can't.
I don't think he'd be rushed, but he'd be good sub appearances and an injury away from starting.
If nufc go 4 3 3 he'd be in pretty fast
You might me right, but I don't see much in the squad stopping him ..
Yeah, I never meant he wouldn't get game time or start, more I think he'll play primarily as a winger (will take a stab at RW) initially and be moved into the centre when and if he's needed. Think he'll develop his game more from there before competing for the striker role in a couple of years time assuming he progresses the way the club hope he can.
