Finnegan Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 2 minutes ago, Kopfkino said: Be disappointed if he's the main target but as a second addition I'd be delighted Basically this. Perez, Tielemans + a star winger is a ****ing brilliant window. Tielemans + Perez isn't awful but it's not as exciting as it could have been. Given Newcastle will rinse us for him I'd rather we go to the continent.
TheSomersetFox Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 Would be decent as a backup option for any of our forwards. Geordie mate of mine slagged him off all of last season until he came into form in the last 2 months of so. He reckons he’s inconsistent but a hard worker with a half decent goal return. Probably more reliable than Kelechi. Anything 15m or below and it’s not the worst signing in the world by any means
lgfualol Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 Where does he even play? In the maddison role? Would be a decent signing if under 15m.
fazzyfox Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 The jamster who scored that diving header against us from an "impossible" angle? One in the same? Don't know what the rest of his game is like but we could do with that kind of jammy instinctive stuff coming our way for a change. But please before we all throw Albrighton out with the bathwater let's remember how reliable, if not spectacular, he is. There's still a place for him, I see him becoming our Milner and doing a decent job for years to come.
Finnegan Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 Just now, lgfualol said: Where does he even play? In the maddison role? Would be a decent signing if under 15m. Anywhere in the front four to be honest, he's quite versatile. Pretty sure he's lined up at 9, 10 and as a winger against us alone over the last few seasons.
STUHILL Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 Better than Gray, Albrighton, Iheanacho and Barnes (for now). Would be a decent addition as can play across the front line but price would be key!
foxfanazer Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 He's a baller on his day. Think those days are too infrequent unfortunately. I'd take him on the cheap
Steve Earle Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 Sound option as out third no. 8, could play further forward if required. Could be available cheap by today's standards. Interesting...

Billy Big Balls Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 1 minute ago, lgfualol said: Where does he even play? In the maddison role? Would be a decent signing if under 15m. Very versatile player because of his technical ability. Played about 50/50 as an attacking midfielder and right mid last season but I always saw him as a link up striker or second striker, whatever you want to call that role. Would definitely be worth it for the right price to cover multiple positions with a good Premier league player.
AjcW Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 Using Slim in the deal by any chance? That would be peak Mike Ashley... sign a target man and cut off the creative supply

ian_marshall Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 Improved massively last season, but not certain I'd want him coming in as a guaranteed starter as he's too inconsistent for my liking. If we're genuinely looking at a top class attacking midfielder then I'm not sure he's the man for the job however he would be a decent option off the bench.
Guest Mee-9 Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 If we get him I'll be buzzing. Always thought at a half decent club he'd be a 15+ a season player.
lcfc sheff Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 Can play multiple positions and works hard, 25 years old, good goals/ assists return, ideal for us really. Between £20m - £30m likely however which is why I can’t see us signing a player from another prem team unless there’s some sort of release clause. We’d rather buy abroad for 1/5 that price.
AjcW Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 I don't think we can say 'good on his day but inconsistent' to a winger who scored 12 goals last season.... we don't have one of those at the minute
Max Power Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 This is kind of the ideal profile for us. Can be back up to vardy but also get in the side in other positons and in different systems. Still would want a deluxe wide man (+ Youri obvs) in an ideal world but like the ideal of this signing provided it’s not too expensive.
breadandcheesebrother Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 Yeah but where's the link or the itk tip off?
Gerard Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 Too hot and cold for me and is now 25 and hasn't really been much more than an average PL player up to now, I'd much rather the club take a chance on some 21 yo who has done really well in a foreign league over the last year or two. Last season we were linked with Pepe and he now looks like going for £80m to a top club. I'd rather us take our chances elsewhere. I want us to sign a wide forward who instantly becomes our best winger and has a Tielemans type impact on the team.

Can play RW but also means no need to splash out on a vardy replacement until he's decided he's only a bench player himself!
matty98 Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 His output is pretty good considering Newcastle are a very defensive team. Wouldn't want us spending much more than £25m on him though.
st albans fox Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 Hasn’t he already scored a winning goal for us ??
