Arsenal spent £45m on Jesus, Spurs £50m for Richarlison. If we want a striker in that range we'll need to smash our trasnfer record. Exactly, I said at the beginning if we want a striker that’s better than we got we have to spend 50+. Also some of the strikers around aren’t exactly the greatest, it might be the hardest position to fill in football currently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Swede, I don't really get the fee to be honest. I haven't been following Isak, I know heuhad some decent games for the national team, but my initial reaction when hearing the money was 'wtf?'. He's kinda' slender too, but as I said, I haven't really paid much attention to him for quite some time. In any case, Newcastle will soon fight for all the trophies in existence, so no point in comparing ourselves to them. They will begin to outdistance the middle and lower table pack quite soon, then they'll slowly start gaining on the top. Bad for the game, good for Newcastle fans. Top 6-7 on a regular basis will require a herculean effort for the likes of us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Can't say I was ever all that impressed with Joao Pedro when I watched Watford, or Dennis for that matter, that doesn't mean to say Pedro is a bad player, but I didn't realize how young he was, so time to get better, but seems some are going over the top with what a good signing he is for them, seems like every signing Newcastle make gets overhyped at the moment, the idea of Dan Ashworth being some sort of transfer guru is probably playing into that, even when they're linked to a player but don't get that player they then get praised for being 'sensible'. Isak seems like it might be a good signing though, I don't know about his goal record, but watched him for Sweden and you could tell he had something very brilliant about him, if we made that signing I would be thinking 'yipee'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle just being taken for a ride, Sociedad had no reason to sell so will take an offer over and above, Jesus was surplus to requirements so City took a lower fee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
