Papers saying we in the running for victor osimhen, though I'm not believing them for multiple reasons, main one for me is the fact he would be going to African Cup of nations when he gets called up to Nigeria squad.
Thus making him useless as cover for the front 3 when this event is being played.

If we won’t pay £47m for a 25-30 goal a season forward like Werner, we certainly won’t be (and frankly shouldn’t) spend even more than that on an unproven player who has scored less goals in a weaker league off the back of one season.

Notwithstanding the fact we don’t have the money!

Ed001 reckons if we really want someone, we’ll get him.
I’m inclined to agree though whether this player is he, I don’t know.

I would ted to agree with Ed1 that we could find the money for the right man. Personally I am not convinced by what I have seen of Osimhenn. Only 21 and has had a good season so could be anything but not a big money signing IMO. First thing I noticed was his poor first touch. That would let him down in the EPL and I would rather see Brewster get his chance.

Ed made a good point that in a counter attacking team who only played on the break he might look ok, but in a team that look to keep hold of the ball, he’s going to be found out really quickly.

We broke as fook!

On the topic of signing an attacker, Willian on a free would be a very good signing imo. Capable of operating in both the flanks and still going strong at the age of 31. Yes there's maybe high wages involved but quite a few of our high earners are expected to be off this summer so we can surely afford him. Just a question of whether we want to or not.

Willian is apparently wanting a 3 year deal hence the stalemate with Chelsea, I doubt we would be offering a 3 year deal either.

Prefer to see Harvey Elliot tbh.

He will be joining napoli next month.

Fraser Hendricks M Longstaff Willian all possible free agents . any interest in them as we are broke this summer?

{Ed0666's Note - We don’t padfill the squad anymore mate with players just for the sake of it. We have youth players all comparable to all of the players you mention. And free doesn’t mean free mate because Bosman’s aren’t cheap when you add up the signing on fee, agent fee, wages etc etc.

Sweet jeebus 🤦🏻‍♂️.

Is that Jeff Hendricks? Christ.

Matty Longstaff is a decent young player. Not sure he's better than Leighton Clarkson.

Personally i'd rather Elliott than Fraser, Jones than Hendricks, and Brewster than Willian.

They are all good players bhav_reds, but i think we need better than just "good players".

could do with a comma there mate.
I'm with ed there. our squad is massive as it is. We all understand where the weak spots are but we can't just be adding more players. I mean dang, just cos there are no fans doesn't mean we need to help the situation and put more players in the stands to watch.

Agree0 Disagree0

The only one of those that I'd have is maybe Matty Longstaff, as he plays a different role in the midfield than Curtis Jones, and Pedro Chiravella is undoubtedly leaving.

I just doubt that he'd want to come considering how limited his minutes would be initially.

Personally, I think he'd be mad to leave Newcastle right now, just as they're going to have big cheques flying around for top talent just as his professional career is kicking off.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hendricks? We'd be as well to field a nice free range hen and decapitate it as we kick off.

Willian is decent and as we’ve seen over the past few games we need goals. We create the most chances but take too few. I had hoped we’d get a striker and cb in drop firmino in behind the striker and a solid cb pairing is a must. I like gomez and matip but to improve we need another good cb. Also if we want to be silly and throw names out there I’d like to see Jack grealish at Liverpool. Pretty much carrying villa ove to see what he could do in a better team.
