Another questionable player to be linked with.

Genuinely never heard of him which is probably a good thing

Probably all made up anyway.

Weird Iranian owner, lets link them to some random Iranian striker for too much money.

There is a reason one was playing most weeks for a team who finished fourth (?) and the other wasnt even getting a game for us despite having our worst ever frontline.

I'm not even saying he is that good but he is miles better than Maupay, he is actually capable of doing something with his overall play. Maupay offers absolutely nothing with how we set up.

Put it this way, I could see the thinking behind signing Weghorst if we did so, similar profile to DCL etc, I never did get the Maupay signing if we were just going to throw him up top and tell him to pretend to be Calvert-Lewin.

I am not advocating for either.

Sometimes bad players play for good teams. I still don't want any of the various Longstaffs. I don't care how many games Newcastle win.

tofeenut saying Ellis Simms has gone, DCL and Cannon left, oh I forgot Maupay, easily done though.

Is the window closing this evening ?... nobody told me.

I have not once said we should sign him!

But he is absolutely better than Maupay (especially how we set up). That's all I am saying.

there's always a couple of stragglers that do well when a team is on the up. Stephen Ireland at City was the same. Had a season where he looked a world beater but it all to do with the players around him and less to do with what he did.

Yeah I just can't get there. Maupay's goal scoring record is clearly better!

He’s quality

ISS on his way to City apparently

Edit: according to twitter so might not be true

Wonder when Bill will start using his business acumen, contacts and expertise ( as per moshiris comments) to bring in the half dozen decent players we need.

He's already started, haven't you seen.
Doucs + Coleman already !

Our Director of Football spent all last summer looking for a striker and came back with Neal Maupay

That’s what we’re dealing with

He also brought in Onana , McNeill and Garner... apparently Kudus was close as well.

However, you are correct in that not bringing in a decent striking alternative was a blemish on the entire window.

Any negative news that comes from Twitter is true 100% of the time.

Genuinely never heard of him which is probably a good thing

I hear he doesn’t stand still very much

 

[davids]

Wouldn't just be him making that decision would it? Thelwell and James Vaughan

If they reject young players before the manager has even trained with them...I'd say we're in a mess,but then we know that already.

Didn’t a bunch of us judge mcneil on his goals and assist when he joined from burnley?? Wonder if it’s the same people judging weghorst’s 2 goals.
