Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[Paul.S]

Whoever we sign I just hope it’s with a plan. No more loans or players looking for a last pay day but players that have been brought in for a reason and not just in panic.

[Villafirst]

A new CB to replace Carlos is urgently required. Only 3 CB options at present. I thought the timing of letting Hause go on loan was stupid. Why didn't they wait until a replacement was secured first? The defence has been a mess from the word go this season.

If we sign Bednarek on loan for the season, the only time he will play will be in the cup games

Not sure can do that for a centre back…all the planning was for Carlos so any signing now wasn’t fully planned and whether it’s a loan or buy it needs to be done.

Any other position if we buy you’d hope it’s planned but like most teams it’s going to be a case of reacting to the domino effect around deadline.

A new CB to replace Carlos is urgently required...

'Urgent'? Another good CMF and a change to the tactics requiring the fullbacks to be attackers - i.e. playing a proper back 4 - and the 3 we have plus Feeney would probably be fine.

I would imagine that the CB would be a loan for a season, there is no point buying a new CB and giving him a 3 year contract when potentially next season he would be 5th or 6th choice.

That’s why we should focus on using resources to buy a CB which is to play alongside Carlos when he’s back. In turn replacing/upgrading Konsa

100% accurate

Newcastle spending £60 million on Alexander Isak. 32 starts in LaLiga and six goals.

[Villatillidie25]

in fairness, he scored 17 the season before and is widely thought as one of the best young strikers in Europe. It's a lot of money though. When we did our business early I was really pleased but it needed to be backed up by 2 straight into the first team buys (£40m+) to really kick us on. Failing to do that has probably put us back relative to the chasing pack now given how much the likes of West Ham have spent

They signed another forward last year that seems to have impacted him and where he was getting his chances from the previous year, he wasn't able to occupy those spaces.

Suggests he cannot play in 2 man forward line, so guess Wilson is surplus to requirements.

[ozzjim]

Wilson is very injury prone,  so makes sense for them. 

[AGRIPPA]

Footy's boy Isak going to Toon for.. 63 MILLION?!

TransferMarkt has his value around 33m.

Heard he plays a wicked game tho

👏

Yes Isak is a statement signing.
He'll get goals and would have liked Lange to have made a move for him.

Only got 6 last year.....

[Clark W Griswold]

Yep, at this moment in time we’re 1 very promising young French midfielder better than last seasons 14th squad, although they have had bad luck with the CB situation admittedly. I also think the squad is capable of better than 14th, but if the ambition is really as great as we’re led to believe they need to work hard in the final week.

[Clampy]

I personally don't think we can expect the club to splash out silly money to replace players who get injured,  unless it's critical. A loan to replace Carlos would suffice I think for now.
