Never understood why this cunt has gotten so many clean slates. Rafa had him sussed.

As for Lascelles, sorry but time to move him on. We'd be better off blooding some of the young'uns if we get that desperate. The captaincy needs to go the Trips this season and nice guy or not, Jamal is worth more now than after 12 months of him sitting on the bench.

 

Totally agree Trippier should be made captain and I agree with your sentiments regarding Lascelles being moved on - half expected him to go back to Forest tbh. It's the shit that's levelled at him by sections of our fans I have issue with. It's not warranted.

I think Lascelles has bulked up too much and it’s impacted his mobility and how quickly he can turn etc. Especially as he didn’t need it. Playing under Bruce hasn’t helped like. I’ve got time for him because he’s shown some good form in the past, is still young and also due to the attitude / commitment Craig alludes to

If these reports from Albania are true about Broja, then we could see some movement on him earlier than expected. It would be ideal if we could get him on loan early, and put everything we have in going after Diaby.

Not sure why we are keeping Lascelles and selling Fede?

Age?

Newcastle United submit £35m bid for Everton star Gordon - Sources (footballinsider247.com)

 

Not sure about paying 35m on this kid if this report holds any truth. Then again I'm not a football scout, and haven't been closely following his performances and stats. Conte supposedly wanted to do a double deal with Everton and bring Gordon along with Richarlison, so it seems people of reputable reputation in the game see something in Gordon.

Clutching at straws most likely, but perhaps this is a tactic from the club to try and make Leverkusen shift a little bit on their valuation of Diaby.

Gordon seems a classic case of going for a player because he played well against you. I’d hope we’re better than that

[thebrokendoll 10189]

the latter part of this thread regarding lascelles is badly missing some input from @essembeeofsunderland

not seen him for a while, hope he's ok.

Might be something in your point tbf, we’ve clearly turned attention to Diaby and have been linked to Olise and Gordon this week. Think it’s showing we have other options.

PSG aren't really after selling Diaby though (from what I've read) so that tactic isn't really going to work in this instance. More likely we're pursuing other avenues for when we realise that PSG won't budge in their evaluation.

 

Gordon though? FFS, I'd rather not.

Sheff United apparently in for Clarke

I'm telling you right now, if we gave PSG anything for the signing of Moussa Diaby, they'd accept it and laugh all the way to the bank.

That’s exactly what I would say if I was them in this type of negotiation. It’s Leverkusen btw, I think if it was PSG we’d be fucked but £40m+ is a lot of money for a player even for a CL side - we just beat the Italian champions to a player because they couldn’t match our bid. I’m of course just guessing on it but it’s similar to what we saw with Botman imo, we started getting a lot of links to other CB targets and then agreed a fee with Lille. Maybe Leverkusen hold firm this time but I think what we’ve heard from both sides is possibly all part of negotiations. 
 

I agree on Gordon, if they were wanting £40m for him it’s not far off the ask for Diaby who is a far better player. Admittedly I don’t rate Gordon as much more than a mid table PL player so maybe others see them as closer talents, but one hit double figure goals and assists, the other put up Ryan Fraser numbers. 

[David Kelly 1328]

I liked the look of Gordon (as a player obviously because he's a right ugly cunt) whenever I saw him last season.  Yes he's a pathetic diver and seems a bit of a cunt, he certainly seemed to have the stomach for a fight when very few others in that team did and he looked like he has a lot of promise.  I don't see him being worth anywhere near £35-£40m though and I can't believe we'd be willing to risk that much on him rather than paying a bit more for someone who has proven themselves much more.

Paying that much for him on what he's done in the premier league so far could be similar to what Man Utd would have done if they'd bought Longstaff for the kind of fees being talked about.

Arsenal tried 'huge intervention' to hijack Bayer Leverkusen transfer as Newcastle watched | Football | Sport | Express.co.uk

 

Leverkusen have signed this Adam Hlozek kid, and he looks like he could be a replacement for Diaby given the positions he can play, and the positions Diaby has occupied for Leverkusen during his time there. Maybe I'm wrong. Not like I'm an expert on Leverkusen.

Chicken nonce was saying much the same, said that Everton are unlikely to sell a top young talent, and also said that if we fail with Diaby we might go back in for Harrison. I have to say Harrison seems just, or at least very close, as unlikely has Gordon from the selling clubs perspective.

if there's any truth in that i doubt he's coming to us. he's not going to snub the chance to play for man city, surely 

might not get in to their first team regularly. think its sensible. 

[Alex 36586]

So a deal that isn’t happening signals the club’s intent regarding future transfers?  Absolutely phoning it in now like 

[Ayatollah Hermione 14560]

He’s desperate to beat that Harrison drum, like  Starting to think that he’s got more contacts at other teams than he does Newcastle

It’s a fucking daft one to bleat on about as well, it would take a fucking absurd amount to get Harrison as they’ve already sold Phillips and look set to sell Raphinha. 

[wykikitoon 22580]

They want young players.

No shit, our avg age must have been one of the highest in the league last few seasons.

[ohhh_yeah 3048]

 

Kahunla and Gulf FC from Sierra Leone should be raided for their talent. Kahunla just won 95-0 and Gulf FC won 91-1.
