Elsewhere, possibly helpful to have these gimps find a CB so they aren't competing with us
Newcastle close in on £30m deal for Sevilla defender Diego Carlos

Diego Carlos appears to have succeeded in forcing a move from Sevilla to Newcastle and could be registered in time to make his debut in Saturday’s Premier League game at Leeds.

Shortly after the 28-year-old Brazilian centre-back submitted a formal transfer request, Sevilla – who had rejected two Newcastle bids – appeared to concede defeat in their attempts to retain him and began advanced negotiations over a potential deal in the region of £30m.

Is Schick going to be able to replicate what Antonio does for us?

I like him a lot and he obviously scores goals, but does what happens around him need to change if he's in the team and Antonio isn't (for example)? I thought he was a bit more of a target man and less of a channel runner.

Loans FC, embarrassing tbh. I maintain I can’t see anyone coming in. We’re trying to do it on the cheap again.

Probably b*llocks as this is the dildo brothers, but this comes from the bloke who told me they had signed Jarrod Bowen way before the press picked it up. This is also probably already on here but i can't be arsed to look and i thought you might be interested.

Like i said probably b*llocks
Cheers Major 👍

funky chicken wrote: Wed Jan 19, 2022 10:00 am In terms of centre backs the same targets remain as I have discussed many times before. Moyes maintains a good relationship with Nat Philips’, father Jimmy Philips, and this is a player who we have shown a definite interest in.
Reading this, and I can't help but feel a bit wary of 'Moyes is a friend of this player's dad'. I'm not necessarily saying Moyes would lead us up a path he didn't have belief in, but I equally feel like it'll potentially colour judgment.

Loans sound good to me, though. There's certainly a case to repeat the Lingard approach from last January for someone if they aren't looking like a long-term signing. Keep the money to spend those £25m-£30m fees on the players that will be here for a while, and loan the short-term fixes.

Does he need to replicate it? Antonio is still here so we aren't losing anything we don't already have, but might get something we don't have. Swiss Army Knife approach.

A target man might be fairly handy at times given Antonio's morphing into a backyard trampoline whenever the ball goes long to him the last few months.

Decent player though. Schtick would certainly add a good alternative option to the squad.

It's like needing closure in a relationship for some people.

The mess Man United are in it's likely they'd be reluctant to loan/sell any of their players to us. If he goes there good luck to him. I know he was good for us but when the summer window ended and he wasn't here that should've been the end of it. There's also no guarentee we'd be getting the same player which may be one of the reasons why we haven't committed to a large financial outlay for a 29 y/o

Schick would be a proper statement of intent signing.

Do we have any realistic chance of signing Schick, feels like another move from the chairman for an unrealistic signing.....

Is Sshcticky more of a Haller than an Antonio, or a mixture of both?

Is he a hard working forward, who will come deep to get involved in the play?

Or does he stay on the shoulder of the defender and play in and around the box?

Leverkusen have always been quite transactional. Don't necessarily sell cheap, but if you meet their price they tend to let their players go.

There may be some measure of prior relationship still there after buying Hernandez.

Not sure I buy the Schick link - apart from the Czech connection doesn't seem like our/Moyes' kind of player (or price). Would also be wary of anyone putting up numbers in that clown league - think his Serie A stats are probably more realistic. I vaguely recall reading something about him laughing off speculation about going to us/newcastle/villa level teams and saying he was only interested in barca/real/bayern etc, but maybe I'm misremembering that.

Plenty of time for a signing yet. DM does his business at the 11th hour. See Vlasic, Bowen, Kral and Zouma.
