Reddish-Blue

The fact that Mbeumo said I want United and they took that long to finalise the deal....😆 Newcastle must be pissed off, they lost their 2 striker targets to PL rivals and Isak is being linked to a massive move away.

I don't mind the Simons link but even with good attacking depth, we aren't challenging for top 3 this season without a good CB. For me, Colwill - Chalobah/Tosin/Badi is nowhere near enough to scare the big PL teams.

Jackson really fell off in the polling, he went from being our only striker last season to getting only 4% of the votes 😄

Maybe that transfer helps us with the potential Jackson transfer fee...

They chose not to activate Kepa's clause, even though it was only 5 million and then went ahead and got Petrovic for 25 million. I'm surprised they are allowing both CB's to leave, they must have someone lined up as replacement.

If true, that would be awesome. I didn't mind Felix in the conference league games last season but I never understood the mid season move to Milan 😆

So basically we may end up with Palmer, Simons, Nkunku (if he can't be sold), that Brazilian wonderkid all keen on being #10's 😆 If we are going after that sort of player, why not put in an offer for Eze? At least he is PL proven.

I don't recall Veiga playing at CB other than those early conference league games where half the squad was rotated. He was primarily used as backup LB and DM as required. I think he was more frustrated at not being given any chances at CB...

If United are involved at all, I have a bad feeling that Garnacho will be tied to the deal somehow 😁

Surely we need a quality CB before another attacker

The transfer fee wouldn't be a problem, they were happy to offer 80 million for that young french striker

Imagine if Isak ends up pushing for a transfer to Liverpool....😄 Wonder who else Newcastle have on the attacking shortlist

I'd be surprised if a few more players aren't sold at Liverpool, considering they are all in on Isak and that young french striker at Frankfurt. Elliott, possibly Diaz (if fee is high enough).

It was obvious Ethan wasn't going to leave Arsenal, as his best mate just signed a new deal as well (MLS). There were posters on here who actually thought he'd walk 😆

I get the feeling Bayern will try to strike a cheap deal for Nkunku as they know we would be happy to get his wages off the books. He'd probably do pretty well with Kane & Olise and they need another striker/attacker with Musiala's bad luck at the CWC.

Probably injured again....knowing our luck 😆

The question is, will Chalobah, Tosin & Colwill be enough to keep us in the hunt for top 4 this season? Just feels a bit lightweight at CB.

Unexpected performance and what was that by Enrique after the final whistle, grabbing Pedro by the throat? Palmer really is something else.

Let's see how he performs in the premier league, we've already seen that Bundesliga goals don't always translate to prolific at PL level (Werner, Nkunku).

I thought Leipzig wanted crazy money for him, that's why Arsenal decided to prioritise Viktor

Don't worry, we seem to love collecting high level youngsters, that Jackson money will go straight to the Ekitike transfer 😆

I'm really interested to see how this Jackson/Delap scenario works out as both of them will want to be the #1 striking option and we don't really play with a front 2.

Shooting is not a "1%er". You either have natural finishing ability or it takes a number of seasons to get better at it. Jackson has upside to his game but would he be starting for our top 4 rivals?

25 for Disasi? Who's paying that sort of fee? Also Nkunku is only linked to Bayern Munich and they haven't bid yet. 😆

Surely the club would be talking to Benfica about Silva as part of the Felix deal?
