Yeah, Gordon has clearly taken well to super special Newcastle fitness programme.

Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I honestly don't think we need much more. Ramsey and Moreno back in the next few weeks will add further depth. Hopefully Villa keep Traore and Dendoncker around. Initially perhaps a striker/forward as back-up to Watkins. Looks like Diaby and Zaniolo will create chances. Remember when Manure signed Cavani, someone of that calibre would be ideal but perhaps more of a striker figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Spent the weekend with a good friend who is a die hard Barcelona fan. His opinion on names we’ve been linked with. Fati - brilliant player no idea why Xavi doesn’t trust him more. Ferran - average, not bad but not good and not good enough for Barcelona. Abde - good player doesn’t see him leaving. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I'm still justified in thinking Monchi and Emery are not going to be dropping £50million plus on Brennan Johnson. That signing makes no sense from a financial point of view. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZZAM Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 We literally played all our defenders today so have little rotation options for upcoming games. We need a RB or a RCB for depth 100%. Prefer we sold Chambers as I don't think he's good enough. Infact if Monchi got us 5mill for Chambers this window that would be outstanding. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t believe we’ll go for him and prefer that we didn’t, better options out there imo. Don’t see the point in getting into a bidding war or competing with other PL sides for him or such players either…too easy to get fleeced and ripped off in that market… I have strong opinions about the fallacy of having to sign Prem/British/English players and how that experience is a must (many of the best players in the league, over the years, have come from abroad and enhanced and elevated it. Same goes for managers). I don’t want to bang on about all that again anyway… But, of course, if Unai actually wants him then fine… and I’ll support and endorse it in that case. Just not sure he does though. There are so many players and talents all over the world… we don’t need to focus on PL or home based players. Monchi has a wide network out there… So far, we haven’t pursued those kind of players or deals anyway, other than Tielemans who was brought in on a free and provides great value and quality. We’ll see. I don’t care about being proven right (being proven wrong can feel just as good if not better when it comes to Villa ), I just want us to be as strong as possible and have the best season possible. Unai is amazing. UTV No problem here either, fully respect yours too. You'll know more about the potential options than me as I don't spend too much time watching other the other leagues. Be interesting to see who we do go for. If Chelsea are interested then I agree best to steer well clear. We were linked earlier in the window but I can't remember if it was one of the more reliable journos. Agreed the top teams don't have many English players in them. I agree, as long as the player adds quality who cares where they come from. Let's wait and see! UTV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
