Dave Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 The idea in the story that he’s a 6 will be news to him but certainly a very good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Much like Bastoni and Spurs, can't see it happening. There are a select few Italians that will like to move out of Italy. Barella isn't one of them unless Newcastle offer him something outrageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Which I think it is. If it were that easy to get Barella he would've been purchased years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Don’t see the appeal for him, likely to remain in Italy. With that said Alexander Isaak swapped San Sebastian for Newcastle so money does do wonderful things to people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is dynamite out there, he plays so hard and passionately. I also guarantee that Isaak wasn’t earning a lot in Spain. A relegation English team would pay more that Real Sociedad.

Lucas Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 I just don't see how one of the top box to box midfielders currently in the game goes to Newcastle. It seems completely daft and I mean no offence when I say that. Certainly not for that price either. I mean, that's cheap when you see the prices being banded about for other players. He'd command far more than that surely. If he was to leave, it screams PSG, Real, City, Liverpool or someone of that ilk, not a club that's entering their first season of European football for some considerable time.

Honey Honey Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I think it looks likely we will sign a central midfielder for £60-70m. The way we work is a few options are identified and so we walk away from those with the highest price. Szoboszlai probably remains the most likely once his price is dropped a bit.

I get that he is an inter Milan fan, but it is not like the project is not something he wouldn't be interested in, even at a nominal level. the reports suggest minor contact, if there was zero interest it would have been pushed back. I think the issue is finding the price, I think we probably could get him if we offer more upfront rather than these 3 year payoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also while the league is far from what it was at it's height, when it was basically the equivalent of the prem now... there's a lot of signs Italian football's improved a lot over the past few years. None of their finalists won... but they had 3 European finalists this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I think if you're willing to pass on millions you make by being transferred just to stay in Italy instead of leaving for a couple of years you are nuts. Only reason not to leave would be if its not career right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeKhrush Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 most of the time these statements are made because there is genuine fear of Newcastle getting good and too fast for the establishment. be it sport or politics, when someone threatens the establishment it gets reactions. the only real chance we have to sign him is if we can give inter something that is to good to refuse.

Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted June 18, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted June 18, 2023 This would be an excelling piece of business. Newcastle’s business since the takeover has been great. Pope, Trippier, Botman, Isak, Guimaraes all very good signings. There’s nobody yet you can say they wasted money on and hasn’t been value for money other than really Chris Wood.

I mean Anthony Gordon is going to have to go some to justify the £40m they paid for him and the fact you've clearly forgotten that they even signed him isn't a good start .

I get the personal aspect but I feel that people seem to overreact to him. He was done in hard by xG and xA working against him, he should have had 6 goals and 2 assists which may not seem substantial however he is young and raw. I don't think the climate at Everton helped his development. He also admitted that when he came over he struggled with the fitness levels, found it hard to keep up with the team on physical fitness which is maybe a bit concerning if you are an Everton fan however it is also very different styles and our style requires much higher fitness levels. He has committed to starting a pre-season regiment sooner than everyone else to catch up and from what I hear Jacob Murphy and Matty Longstaff (released but rehabbing) will work with him.
