The price tag would make sense more around the £30m mark but price tags don't seem to matter anymore and I doubt Newcastle's owners care. I was thinking him and Wilson could be scary. Wilson has 4 goals in his last 6 games his two strikes this season are finishes of a genuine goalscorer. ASM can play a switching flank winger like the ol Tevez, Rooney and Ronaldo style. one thing is certain if trippier plays a lot and ASM plays like he did against City more often then we are going to be dangerous.

I mean not just splashing the cash because they can?? They seem to have opted for a slow build rather than an all out assault on the market bringing in players all over the place like some clubs I could mention... Also not going for the big names but rather the players that will benefit you over the next few seasons.. You seem to have a decent mentality going on with the players on the pitch which seems to be working well at the moment.. I believe there is a genuine plan, our promising start has maybe emboldened the decision to actually make a go of it. as below trippier is key, he is utter class on and off the field and ASM in that mood we are dangerous. Joelinton was largely ignored on Saturday but 7 forced turnovers, 4 carries, that guy was hated a year ago now he is a beast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if I said Pepe was so good... I'm just making the comparison between the way they play (except Pepe looking better). And we tried to sign him because he's a talented player and we needed a striker and no one else was available. Might've been a hit, just like he might be a hit for Newcastle. Thankfully we were priced out though, wouldn't have Jesus on our side otherwise. Don't know what the beef is here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He fits the profile of attack we are trying to build, one that is mobile and quick. We struggle when Wood is in the team to get that same attacking impetus. At 22 it may be a risk but their is high reward in it to, he could be a player to build around for the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the board may feel that they want to accelerate plans and now making moves to improve our attacking impetus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Mikel Oyarzabel is the player teams should be clamouring over but I get the feeling he is the type that only wants to play for Real Sociedad barring catastrophe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reluctant Striker Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Not sure he's the type that would be the main man in a star studded side, but feel sure he'd be part of a star studded side quite comfortably, from what little I've seen.

Have you thought that the reason nobody is moving for Oyarzabel is because he is priced out of everyone's affordability? Transfermarket rates him at 60m and they are generous, he is like declan rice, unaffordable.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams that can afford that follows Man City Man United Chelsea Liverpool Arsenal Tottenham Newcastle United Juventus Inter Milan Bayern Munich Paris SG Real Madrid Atletico Madrid Barcelona (lol) Many other teams CAN afford that, but they will not pay that. You severely under estimate how rich European teams are, particularly in England. Leicester and West Ham could afford it but they would never stretch their budget like that. Have you thought the reason that nobody is moving for Oyarzabel is that regional Spanish teams have a high retention rate for their academy players? Not every league is 75% foreign like the English league, some leagues actually use and retain the players they train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
