The Fish 10857 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) 18 minutes ago, Craig said: Does anyone know anything about Bamba Dieng? A quick snoop on Wikipedia suggests he's scored 9 goals in 46 games (1 in 5). Hardly earth shattering for a striker. Wilson by contrast has scored 20 goals in 40 games for us. Not really a striker, more a wide forward. Only had 12 90mins. Really raw, but bags of potential. Him+ Paqueta would be improvements on Almiron and Willock/Longstaff. Or different options at the very least. Edited August 9, 2022 by The Fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6682 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Hey I wasn't knocking him, I just genuinely know nothing about him and asked if anyone else did given the headline stats weren't that great. I knew Dave would come armed with a chart, like 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he played wide last season it was mostly from the left (11) than the right (2). He's right footed so it all depends on how much his game relies on playing as an inverted winger when he isn't playing as a centre forward.

Perhaps whatever legit contacts they do have, have decent intel about Ligue 1, which of course is where Dieng and Paqueta ply their trade. Of course this is me more trying to convince myself than actually being all that confident. With Shelvey out now, Gallagher, Dieng and Paqueta could be a very decent end to the window. Of course Gallagher is unlikely to want to come if we can't guarantee him that he would be an important part of the team. So I can't see him and Paqueta happening unless we restructured the team to accommodate both, which is unlikely. If our move for Paqueta is legit, then the Gallagher stuff was very likely pure paper talk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2311 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) Juventus focus on Depay as Newcastle close on Muriel - Football Italia (football-italia.net) No idea how reliable La Gazzetta dello Sport are, but if the whole Botman saga is anything to go by then they're little more than propaganda for Italian clubs when teams from outside Italy are involved. Dieng would make more sense given Muriel is 31 and Dieng is 22. Edited August 9, 2022 by Polarboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dieng would make more sense given Muriel is 31 and Dieng is 22. It’s a daily newspaper dedicated to sport and about 3/4 of it is football-related. So lots and lots of speculation, especially at this time of year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimaad22 4156 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Surprised we didnt push more for Werner with the reported $17M fee Leipzig have agreed. Not sure if that's due to Howe not rating him or the player just being comfortable going back to a place where he knows it will work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if Paqueta has Bruno-esque qualities about him (dunno if he does) and comes in $20M cheaper than Maddison it looks like a great deal. Would be delighted either way.

Dr Gloom 21924 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 No clue about le10sport but they seem to be using 90mins as a source so could be more shite Despite these recent remarks, a suitor would be ready to return to the charge for Lucas Paqueta. According to 90min information, Newcastle is preparing a new offer for Lucas Paqueta. The Magpies were already interested in January, but had refused to pay the minimum €59 million requested by OL at the time. However, this summer, the Lyon club would agree to let its player go for about €39 million, plus bonuses. A sum that would perfectly suit the Magpies. In addition, the player could find his great friend Bruno Guimaraes. The media adds, however, that Newcastle would be wary of Arsenal on this issue. OL, for its part, would already prepare Lucas Paqueta's succession, since they would think of recruiting Flamengo's midfielder Victor Hugo.
