I don't see it with Isak. Mind you, I was thinking that the other night just before he scored...

If Newcastle had another top 9, would they play Isak wide? I'm with The Wanderer here.

As for Jonathan David? I think he would train well on a Monday, join with group training by Tuesday, and be doing ball work by Wednesday, but I'd be worried about his overall contribution on a Thursday, Friday and Saturday, let alone Sunday....

Isak would cost north of £100 million now and has a questionable fitness record. A very good player, but one that's unlikely to be on our radar.

 

I'd still rather we got Antony Gordon. Capable of playing anywhere across the front three, has pace to burn, he's a local lad and a Liverpool fan. Also it would stop him scoring against us if we signed him!

Nah fuck that diving little cunt, who are you having him replace in our forward line?

I'd like to sell Jota this winter and sign Jonathan David who has 6 months left on his contract.  £5m might do it. 

 

I also think we need that specialist DM who can receive the ball from the CB's and turn and pass. Gravenberch is the only one we have, we need another. 

 

I'm getting interested in Evanilson as a Bobby replacement. 


Not seen much of David, but from the little I have seen he looks a bit like Adebayo Akinfenwa in his build, makes me a bit worried.

If I remember correctly you didn't think Jonathan David was quite up to it or good enough for us?

Yeah, I'd love it if he was, but I don't see it. He doesn't have the top end talent. 

 

But he does pretty much everything at a solid level and he doesn't get injured. On paper, he would be good in the squad, but he is flourishing as a big fish at Lille and that might ultimately be his fate.

More links today with 22 year old Ukrainian Georgiy Sudakov. He's been linked before, box to box midfielder. Seems to mostly play as a 10 but reportedly can play as a 6 or 8. 


Will miss the next two/ three years when he’s conscripted.

Chiesa and Nunez currently also Salah will need replacing eventually, Jota can't stay fit and there's still rumours that Diaz won't be here long term.

 

Yeah it's an area that needs Slot's full attention and he needs more time to redesign it, this is why I think it's so important to secure Salah for 1 or 2 more seasons to give him some stability while he tries a couple of things. 

 

At the same time, I want us to sign someone very young to learn off Salah.  It's not difficult to find a skilful young winger, but it is difficult to identify one with the professionalism and attitude needed at this level. 

 

We can say what we like about Nunez and Jota but their most endearing quality is their work rate, professionalism and determination.  It's a non-negotiable for all of our forwards.

 

Unfortunately for Harvey, pace is another non-negotiable.

Doak? Rio Ngumoha? 
 

I see Johan Bakayoko is out of contract in 2026, wouldn’t cost the earth in the summer.

If I had to buy someone to learn from Salah I'd look at Francisco Conceicao who's on loan at Juve from Porto. 

 

He's got that busy style of Salah, he's quick and low centre of gravity, and he's the son of Sergio Conceicao so there's good genetics at play there and someone who's grown up in a professional surrounding.

He looks brilliant but not built for the Premier League may have been on his birth certificate. He's about 3.5" tall.
