Looking good

Article doesn’t really say much other than Newcastle seem to have turned their attention to Tonali.

 

[Mr Pink]

Surely we'll get this done.

Must be the priority signing of the window.

Disagree in the sense that a centre back and I mean a top one has to be priority now keeper seemingly is done.

I like Maddison and would love him here but we need to sort our defense out desperately.

 

[Mediocrates]

You call it a piece of Lego.

There isn’t a specific singular word for it.

I cannot abide people saying “Legos”. It’s atrocious.

Lerrigo bro.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Lego*

it is already pluralised

Wrong

 

[Dillspur]

Take the Lego stuff to the Lego thread. Please!

[guy]

Well if we insist...

 

[olliec]

Well Lego is a danish word. But a single piece of Lego is called a Lego brick, or a piece of Lego. There’s even a section on their website explaining it.

Nice! Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I don't think so, and I don't think so.

I don't think so, and I don't think so.

well shucks

 

[worcestersauce]

I don't think so, and I don't think so.

Well that's deflating yet intriguing in the same sentence.

 

[Pochemon94]

Well that's deflating yet intriguing in the same sentence.

not to be a downer, but im assuming its going to be two CBs in, one ready made (tapsoba) and one more prospect. We will probably view Ndombele as the new CAM signing/give youth a go. I just don't see with no Europe us chucking 40-50mil on a readymade player especially at a super expensive position.

 

[Mr Pink]

I don't think so, and I don't think so.

I think he's exactly what we need. Ultra creative with tonnes of PL experience.

He's not a gamble at all. You just know he'd slot in brilliantly and form a fantastic understanding with kane.

Now a cheaper foreign alternative might work out but I'd be willing to wager he wouldn't have the impact of Maddison.

He should be a priority for me.

We buy Maddison and nickname him Lego. Noone outside SC has a clue why.

Personally I just see this one going the same way as Raya. There is an interest for sure but we are too far apart, have other options and the hype around this is very much media driven as opposed to us repeatedly pushing for it.

I'm not saying it definitely won't happen if things change because we do like him. I just believe it's unlikely as it stands.

 

[Lo Amo Speroni]

I don't think so, and I don't think so.

Oh!! Now that is disappointing.

So he's of interest and that's about it?

Doesn't sound like he's one of our top targets at all. That's a shame.

I was hoping we'd have clear targets and pushing towards getting them done for pre season.

Sounds like it's another 'opportunistic' approach with contract situations rather than specific pieces of the jigsaw the manager etc has identified.
