I’m sure the club will have a list of targets, but it feels like the links with with Madison and Diaby were genuine because they occurred over several windows. Szobzolai I’m not sure - could well have been his agent trying to manufacture a bidding war. It does make you wonder if we have missed out on our top targets because we’re not prepared to have our pants pulled down, or if FFP is really constraining us. Or if the club was always working on different targets and word just hasn’t got out to the chicken tonight merchant I think it's a little from column A and a little from column B. One thing is definitely clear, we won't engage in a bidding war. We have our valuation and won't be moved from it. That valuation will 100% be informed by our FFP envelope. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Diaby is their first choice and Hope got his wires crossed. On the other hand that would be some double signing. A front three of Watkins, Diaby and Johnson would be tasty.

If I had to guess there’s something about Diaby that doesn’t suit top clubs’ approach to the game ie pressing ability. Fully intend to enjoy what’s left of the summer and then enjoy the season, it’s going to be fuckin great 😎 yeah, as soon as any doubt creeps into my mind i just check myself and remember where we were 18 months ago, and how far we've come. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it will be a little bit of a backward step with all the games and overall squad quality, followed by another leap forward the season after. Slowly and gradually getting rid of the dross, a few first team signings and real quality in the under 21 department. Nothing but good times ahead. yeah, this is where i'm at. no sweat if we miss out on champions league football next season, if we have a european adventure this season and another good cup run. it's a marathon not a sprint. we'll get there eventually and might have to go backwards a little before we go forwards given how much we overachieved next season. all that being said, i wont be at all surprised if this lot drop £60m+ on some starlet we had no idea we were in for towards the end of the window as they did with isak last summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're way ahead of schedule, 2-4 seasons ahead of where we likely planned to be. I'm sure they were anticipating a season or two competing in the Europa, maybe a season where we challenge for the top 4. Instead we spent 21/38 game weeks in the top 4. Sure, we were benefiting from other clubs having, by their estimations, poor seasons, coupled with our own rapid improvement. But I don't think anyone was expecting Newcastle to leap from bottom half obscurity to Champions League favourites within such a short span of time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought they couldn't compete with the spending power of us? They're a poor impoverished club, battling against the odds to compete with big spending rivals scraping by on - checks notes- € 986,600,000.00 in his Klopp's 8 seasons, on top of €1bn spent since the inception of the Premier League. Also bear in mind, this is nigh on €2bn spent on top of a team that was challenging for the title 18 of the previous 20 seasons and last finished outside the top 8 in 1962. Poor lambs.

The Fish 11313 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) Just checked and in the same time period, big spending Man City have spent €2.5bn since 1992. €500m to not only catch a consistently high spending opposition, but overtake them from a position of yoyoing obscurity.

Polarboy 2317 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 The Evening Standard are reporting that Chalobah has an agreement with Chelsea that he can leave for the right offer. Poch has about six players who can play centre half and only wants four. At this stage I just wants us to buy him for the banter on here more than anything 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimaad22 4662 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Hold on to the its ok if we dont get CL next season talk lads ffs! It's mid July, we will sign new players and they will come out of nowhere and it will piss off chicken nonce to no end once again. And let's not forget we battered most premier league sides last season with this squad. Isak , Gordon, Willock, Bruno, Botman are only going to get better. Its going to be another mint season, get off chicken nonce's embarrassing doom bandwagon please. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
