I see quite a bit of Bournemouth live. Solanke is good and excellent on the press. Billing no way. Although he has flashes of quality that can win them games he's way too lazy. Iraola has worked him out also so he's not getting as much time in the pitch.
Just reading over the last few pages, are we signing a Turkish lad who’s playing for Frankfurt but he’s flying by private jet into Cheltenham? Have I got that right?
The young lad James McAtee who's currently on loan at Sheffield Utd from Man City has impressed me whenever I've seen him play. He's got lovely technique and the ability to pick the right pass in the final third which we sorely lack, he's 21 now and unlikely to get a look in at City so I'm sure he'd jump at the chance to move to Newcastle to replace Miggy but I'm not sure how much City would want for him.
We need to sign a CM now, but the dilemma is, we'll have an overload of them in the summer. New CM Bruno Tonali Joelinton Longstaff Willock Miley. I'm suggesting selling Longstaff or Willock in summer to make up for the signing we're going to have to make now. Unless we want to field a midfield of Lonstaff, Miley and Hayden Bruno gets suspended.... Hayden-------Longstaff-----------Miley Drink it in. Its happening if Willock doesn't get back before Bruno gets suspended.
Newcastle United are demanding that Bayern Munich pay a fee of around £12m for their England full-back Kieran Trippier, 33, who is interested in a move to Germany. (Sky Germany via Sky Sports) Newcastle could be persuaded to part with Miguel Almiron, 29, with Saudi Pro League club Al-Shabab interested in the Paraguay playmaker. (Guardian) The Magpies view Morgan Gibbs-White, 23, as an ideal replacement for Almiron but Nottingham Forest are likely to resist any move for the former England Under-21 playmaker. (Telegraph) Newcastle cannot afford a deal to sign Ederson this month, with Atalanta valuing the Brazilian midfielder at a fee between £30m and 40m. (Football Insider) Manchester United have offered England winger Jadon Sancho, 23, and Brazil winger Antony, 23, to clubs in the Saudi Pro League and want about £50m for each player. (Evening Standard)lol
Ignoring the stuff about us, if they Man U get £50m each for Sancho and Antony then the world really has gone mad, they both can't get a game.
Willock is key and Joelinton and Miley are versatile and can play other than CM. Only Longstaff is disposable.
Teams seem to have forgotten their principles/moral compass etc when there's a cash cow to be milked!
