Is that even a thing? I thought that was standard these days? make sure the player wants to come and everything is smoothed out with, then you go to the club instead of potentially being embarrassed, eg, never speaking to the player beforehand, agreeing with the club, only for the player to tell you to fuck off (see kaka with man city) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44864 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Honestly I've no idea. I thought the standard was that the club gave you permission to talk to the player. What you're describing sounds like tapping up, which once upon a time was a big no-no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44864 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I think Lascelles is finished tbh. There's some reports that we're going back in for Tarkowski with a truckful of cash, which suggests Botman is dead in the water. Maybe Mee's comments were more of a pre-emptive jab at Tarkowski. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2311 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Lascelles can get to fuck. He's built like a shithouse but when comes to the crucial moment my mum could out jump him for a ball in the box. His heading ability begins and ends with clearing balls when nobody is near him, and I suppose getting the very odd goal. I don't think it's a lack of strength or athleticism, so it must be timing and positional sense. We need two CB's at a minimum, given Schar is more than a little suspect as well, and Fernandez is injured. I have to say I'm very close to total incontinence and joining the bed weter's. We're likely going to need three points off Leeds just to not get cut adrift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2311 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Fernandez is close to full fitness apparently. So that's a plus at least. Him and Dummett are our least error prone defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I’d be dropping Lascelles at the moment mind. Fernandez & Schar would do a lot better at CB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2311 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Seen an article saying that Gosens is unlikely because international football is very important to him, so if he moves he wants to be playing for a club in the Champions League who will give him the highest profile and level of football, which will in turn help cement his place in the German squad. Apparently Leicester were knocked back by him last year due to the aforementioned. Of course there are stories that he's accepted our approach, so either those stories are nonsense, or perhaps his love of country is trumped by having his wages quadrupled. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawb 4248 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Atalantas highest paid players are on about 55k a week. I think shelvey is on more than that, might be why they are having their heads turned 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser 1207 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I just can't see how these big names are going to come without a release clause. None will want to get the shit kicked out of them at the likes of Luton or Blackpool next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2311 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 https://www.nufcblog.co.uk/2022/01/17/newcastle-launch-25m-bid-for-colombian-powerhouse-as-alternative-to-benfica-star-report/ According to this both Atalanta and the player are open to him leaving this month. Seems like a no-brainer given Zapata's attributes, goal record and reputation. As I've said I'm no expert on Italian football these days, but even I have heard Zapata's name bandied about when people talk about the best strikers in Europe.

Gemmill 44864 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Two 30 year old strikers for a combined cost of £50m. I know they'll "pay for themselves" if we stay in the division, but it must be a sign that we're drawing a LOT of blanks elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
