Transfers, 2024-25 season

[Polarboy 2317]

Ziyech's name has been floated again as of interest to the club, but Milan and Man U supposedly want him as well, and it's been said that Ziyech is keen on Milan. But if the 8m fee is correct we could do a lot worse at that price. 

 

If I had to guess I'd say we'll get Broja and Maddison before the window closes. If Maddison doesn't work out I haven't got baldies, maybe Paqueta.

Tbh it’s canny clear no one knows who the clubs targets really are. I didn’t see a single person link us to Maddison before the reports about us bidding come out, as Strawb and others say we’ve no real clue if Cornet was actually a deal the club were working on or if it was just the journalists. 
 

Personally I really hope we get at least one attacking player in, I think our attack is lacking in real quality so it would be great to see a Maddison or someone like that come in to help. I think it’s clear they know this and want someone in, and while Maddison may prove to be out of reach they bid a high amount for him which could go to a different player - so I think we can be canny confident we will get at least one more in.

Aye I'm not bothered about this. If we'd bought Cornet it would have suggested to me that we were admitting failure on our main targets. I'm hoping the fact we've "stepped aside"  is a good sign. 

 

 

This. Cornet would have been a classic old Newcastle signing.

I'm still convinced we will, at least one with the possibility of two.

Right, you, ya knacker, I'll tell you something right here, right now. Saying something's not adding up isn't the same as saying "They've got loads of fringe players on big contracts".

 

So stick that up your bollocks

Dave, mate, I understand how things might be difficult for you for you on here, what with a book writing Iberian genius regularly showing you up, let alone some Neanderthal who thinks xG is some sort of upgrade on a Fiesta xr2. But if we look at what you actually said it tells a rather different story (please see graphic attached)

 

Now that certainly isn’t verbatim, but it’s pretty much what I said two days before you . I was aware of gossip about Schmeichel and Vardy and when I saw Fofana heavily linked with a move I thought there was something on. No one , including you, knew the contract situation till the Leicester lad came on here and put us in the picture. I don’t want or need an apology Dave, I want you to calm down for the benefit of the whole forum but chiefly yourself, or you’ll end up with a central heating pump where your ticker should be like that other self regarding drama queen who inhabits these parts.

No, surely more going on. They've got space to do deals. They're talking about a squad with too many, well paid, fringe players who're proving difficult to move on. Leicester don't want to sell any of the player I mentioned above, but they can't shift the dross.

 

Honestly, I think after Fofana and Schmeichel are definitely going. Tielemans is next most likely, depending on the asking price and interested parties. He only has 1 year left on his deal (c£120k pw) so would be easier to get for a reasonable price than Maddison. However Maddison will be the more attractive target. 

 

 

The difference between you and me? I am right and I do want an apology.

Always with the details Dave, well done you  

I still knew there was trouble at the crisp munchers days before you mate. Sorry you feel bad about that 😘

Knowing and saying ain't the same thing. 

 

Like, I know I'm a pretty cool guy, but I don't say it.

90min were right about our interest in Ekitike, so perhaps they are right again. As NUFC blog point out he does fit the profile we're looking for, young, plenty of potential, and can play a number of different attacking positions.

hope we give him a miss

 

😂 Based on what? He's a 22 year old who's only made 11 starts and has 7 goals and 3 assists. Now there's very little data to base anything on if you are just going by his experience in a top level league, but people like Ashworth have knowledge of players from before they even sign professional contracts, and have data analysts pouring over their numbers. If they buy him, if indeed were are even interested, it's because they think he has a lot of potential, with some likening him to Sadio Mane, and he's supposedly going to be fairly cheap in terms of fee and wages.
