Howay 12496 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 The Mail is linking us to Fernando and Mangala from City This is the sort of rumour we've been missing!http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4493652/Rafa-Benitez-ploting-double-swoop-Manchester-City-duo.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelie 103 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Next thing is, you'll be hearing I've been asked to clean my boots. And no doubt you'll read about me being asked to assist Rafa, apparently I pick better starting line-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10838 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I'd take Atsu on loan with a view to buy. Worst thing about these ridiculous rumours is that in a few weeks time, the pundits and rent-a-quotes will be deriding deluded Newcastle fans for thinking they're going to sign Benzema, Fabregas, Toure, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4747 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Ross Barkley has apparently been given a week to decide if he is signing a new contract with Everton. No one has linked us or owt but that'd be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30535 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Not worth the gamble for the money. Not that he'd come here anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21911 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I'd double down on Barkley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30535 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I'm not entirely sure he looks like a player who has the desire to become world class. He'd walk into our team of course but at what cost? I can see him going to a top six club and starting about ten games a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10838 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Wouldn't come, don't think he's the right fit anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21911 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 No, we don't need a number 10 do we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4747 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I think he'd consider it, he'd play a lot more here than any team in the top 6 and (possibly NUFC tinted specs here) are we less attractive than any of the rest of the league particularly? Are we less desirable than Bournemouth, Stoke or West Brom? A year left on his contract would bring the price down, we could do with someone in that position and hes a step up in quality on what we have.

Andrew 4747 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 1 minute ago, Ant said: Wouldn't make any sense for him to come here, it'd be a stretch to even call it a sideways move from Everton to us considering how they're doing in the league lately, bringing in Koeman, current squad before lukakau etc leave. Benetiz is our draw but bringing in a 23year old international being linked with champions league qualified clubs in the same division is a tough ask tbh Theres not a sideways from Everton at the moment (in England), look at the league they're 8th on their own by a mile on either side, well ahead of west brom, comfortably behind man u. Which side above Everton is he going to where he'll play? Man U, Arsenal, City, Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea. They've all got better options or don't use his position.

Dr Gloom 21911 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Does Koeman just not fancy him then? I imagine he'll go somewhere like Man City and end up warming the bench for a couple of years before moving somewhere like stoke. I think he'd be great for us in that number 10 role. Not that I expect him to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35056 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I think he's been tapped up and that's why he isn't signing a new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just maybe not a player who's not consistently performed for his home club. Frankly we'd be better off chasing Sigurdsson, who's far better than our lot, at a club we could lure him from, has performed consistently and seems a model pro.
