Squad Rebuild

[Kev0909]

I think Newcastle needs to sell in order to buy so Isak could well move. I think they paid 55m for him,I could easily see 70m or more being paid for him.
Be plenty lining up for him too.

Why would they sell one of there star players, so they can buy though?

makes no sense, and I thought they can spend this summer?

Anyone suggesting selling Diaz - isn’t watching today

watching what? him failing to score again?

In all seriousness, I actually agree and bit harsh on diaz he's the least of our problems, at least he's fit most of the time, at this point if a good bid for jota came in i'd let him go, another sturridge as good as he is, i'm a bit fed up of it.

I think for the first time ever I wouldn't care if any attacker left in the whole squad, or if they all did.

Salah i'd respect & wish well obviously he's been incredible for us.

Diaz was our only forward who looked anything like good enough today, worked the keeper a few times, hit the post in the first half. Nunez, Salah and even Gakpo I won’t be bothered about losing

Boss leaving, Players knackered and most injured. Cant do simple defending. Making wrong decisions in the final third and not having the simple skills to find the back on the net. Need a big clear out of sick notes and players who are simply not good enough. Your never going to win Jot when your best finisher is always broken.

I believe the reason for Diaz trying more than most is to get his dream move to Barcelona.

Because they could make twenty million or more on him to fund other players they clearly need. They need to comply with ffp

Someone with a magic wand to stop injuries please. Maybe something "magic" from a Amsterdam café would help !!

[ianlfc]

Sell Nunez and Salah .

well that'll just weaken them, my bad then I thought this summer they'll be able to spend.

They should just do a city, seems like it's acceptable

and maybe get a conclusion from the charges when we're all dead.

Ok, what does Slotty baby need in the summer?

Thought if I posted this now, it would be ready after another end of season debacle, for people to vent their ire.

Unfortunately, despite the money spent on Diaz, Nunez and the whole midfield, we desperately lack a spine.

Dominant CB (Virgil hasn’t long left)
Athletic no6 who can get about the pitch and win the ball back. We were bullied all over the pitch in the derby

And a no9, Watkins/Toney level, not effin Nunez, who just doesn’t seem to be developing at all. He doesn’t even cause chaos any more.

If as seems likely Salah goes, we will obviously need a RWF too but stop looking for a direct Salah replacement, he doesn’t exist.

It's certainly a different answer to what it would have been 6 weeks ago!
