We should stay well clear of Nkunku.
Yes thanks! See Szoboszlai, Konate, Minamino, Keita. (Can't believe you made me to say his name.)
We've loaned them players too, so must have a good relationship. I'd be surprised if there's no release clause. Didn't he want ridiculous wages as well though?
I think he's a good player. Would depend on how confident we can be about his fitness. Can cover LW too so might open the door to Diaz leaving given that Wirtz can also play there.
Diaz and Nunez out, Isak and Nkunku in.
The way Newcastle are spending with abandon does give that impression.
Still don't believe it though
At that price we should be interested, regardless of what happens with Nunez.
It has to be this summer. What's the point in sitting on our hands when we're desperate for 2 9s
I thought it was telling that Newcastle tried hard for Joao Pedro, but at least he's versatile so you could see how they might want both. Going for Ekitike surely means they're going to sell Isak though.
Bit the thing is , the PL is much harder to score due to the strength of the teams, so Darwin on that basis is worth more than some of of these project players in Germany.
The only people that are behind any sort of support for this Sesko guy are the ones that should be in a straight jacket. No one wants him on any of the fan channels, people were taking piss out Arsenal when they heard Arteta wanted him. Some say he is the European Nunez....how the hell are we linked with him ?
I’d be happy with Mateta.
Regardless of how the next few weeks go we have had a stellar window.

yeah Mateta, would be a decent option event at 50m. Prem proven and has been decent since got here. Prefer it to spending 100m on younger risk unless it's our first choice.
Don't see Newcastle not selling Isak if they get Ekitike, I don't think he is going to up front with him and they are signing a 80m striker to sit on the bench.

It goes back to the “Benteke paradigm” - where, sure, Mateta is a good player, but does he suit the system we play and would he be a good fit.
Is Mateta the sort of player to drop deep or use his movement to drag defenders out of position, is he good at pressing, is he technically good to be able to hold up play, how fast is he, what does his wife look like?
I don’t know much about him other than the odd clips, were he’s looked physically strong and ok at finishing, but he feels like a player best suited to where he is rather than a top team.

Reports still though that we aren't entertaining any offers for Diaz.
It’s entirely plausible, but equally, they’ve let Callum Wilson go and with CL and Isak missing the odd game with injury, it’s equally plausible that they want, or more likely need, a 2nd forward.
They learnt a lesson last time they were in the CL- so I’d imagine they’ll want to consolidate and make sure they’re in again next year.
Absolutely this. They'd rather sell an academy player for pure profit than Isak. Do they still have they Miley kid? If so, expect him to be sold instead.
PSR issues though innit.
It's not that they'd have to sell Isak to fund Elitike but that they wouldn't be buying him in the first place if Isak was staying.
It's odd - £80m on a backup striker? Hard to believe if you ask me.
