Newcastle signed Bruno guimares in January last season I don’t even think they were top 10, they then convinced botman one of the most promising centre backs in the world to sign this season. We have Unai Emery, we have the money, we’re about to appoint barcas sporting director. Anything can happen 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything can happen Guimares did not have the same profile as Vlahovic or Torres and neither was he being paid the same kind of wages. These are players at Juventus and Barcelona who they have paid 75m and 55m for in the last couple of years and big wages already, not Lyon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlahovic is the most unrealistic of the two to be fair, but I don’t think Torres is out of reach and would probably cost a fair bit less than what they paid for him.

I can see both being available for sale, but I can see both getting better offers...... Torres would probably be the more realistic I agree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 (edited) Maybe Vlahovic and Torres are smokescreen links for our actual links. Has happened before. Edit - but but if it were to happen (Vlahovic) we’d be genuine top 4 contenders. Edited May 4, 2023 by Sulberto21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul514 Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Can I just add no one would be happier than me if players of such quality as Vlahovic joined us. Just aware I sounds like the king of pessimism tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
