Sad if we compare how we sold Huijsen, Mbangula, Soule to this.
Comparing Thiaw to Kelly also made Kelly deal looks better. We are in January, need left footed LB/CB and few clubs want to sell.

Thiaw only better in terms of passing and we also know Thiaw also suspect in terms of concentration.

Below also Thiaw Fbref stats and he was benched by Conceicao in their last 9 matches.

Lol. I know Thiaw isnt that great but Kelly`s stats in that comparison... Kelly looks like Bremer compared to Thiaw where in reality Thiaw is definitely not worse defensively.
In any case Kelly should be kicked far away from here. Not even a bench material IMO.
Thiaw - Please no. We have enough of these mid level defenders.

Why not go for Rodygo? He can be had for 50m

He is a very good player but he wont come here when he has so many admirers.
K.M is different because he already played for us so he has that nice and familiar memory.

Juventus is reportedly pursuing Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali and is considering a swap deal that would involve Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic moving to Newcastle, potentially alongside another player and cash
.
Here's a summary of the reported situation:

  • Juventus's Interest:
    • Juventus views Tonali as a priority target to strengthen their midfield, seeing him as a "dream signing".
    • Tonali is admired for his tactical intelligence, positional discipline, and leadership potential.
    • The Italian giants are reportedly willing to make a significant effort to bring the midfielder back to Italy.
    • They are reportedly hoping to leverage Newcastle's need for a striker, especially if Alexander Isak departs, to facilitate a deal.
  • Newcastle's Position:
    • Newcastle considers Tonali a vital player, especially after his strong performance following a suspension for breaching betting regulations.
    • He made 45 appearances last season, during which the Magpies won the League Cup and secured a Champions League spot.
    • Newcastle reportedly values Tonali highly and is reluctant to sell him, potentially demanding a fee around €60-70 million.
    • However, Tonali reportedly feels homesick and might favor a return to Serie A.
  • The Proposed Swap Deal:
    • Juventus is reportedly willing to offer Dusan Vlahovic, according to Goal.com}.
    • The deal could also include midfielder Douglas Luiz or defender Nicolo Savona, along with a cash adjustment, as it's unlikely to be a straight swap.
    • Newcastle is reportedly seeking a striker, particularly as Alexander Isak is linked with a move to Liverpool.
    • However, Newcastle reportedly passed on Benjamin Sesko, who is heading to Manchester United, and may also be targeting other options like Randal Kolo Muani or Nicolas Jackson.
    • Vlahovic has had a disappointing season with only 10 Serie A goals.
  • Potential Replacements for Tonali (if he were to leave):
    • Newcastle has reportedly identified Lazio midfielder Matteo Guendouzi as a potential replacement for Tonali.
    • According to Tuttomercatoweb, Eddie Howe is an admirer of Guendouzi, who possesses technical and tactical characteristics that fit Newcastle's needs.
In essence, Juventus is attempting an ambitious move to sign Tonali, despite Newcastle's reluctance to sell and the player's perceived happiness in England. Juventus hopes that offering a combination of Vlahovic (who may be deemed surplus to requirements in Turin), another player, and cash might tempt Newcastle, especially if the English club loses its star striker Alexander Isak. However, the success of this deal remains uncertain.

O’riley is legit, i remember being mad when it looked like he was headed to atalanta a year or two ago. Hes definitely worth 30M, I’d argue its even a bargain.

He's not.

He had one excellent season playing for a team that dominates in a farmers league and had an underwhelming season after getting his move to Brighton.

He's not suited to the midfield 2 we play and not good enough for one of the roles behind the striker. Tactically it is another Koop.

don't check o'reilly's fbref. fucking underwhelming

most of the jj related rumors are complete fabrications. that said, if we're really targeting some of these players then club needs a complete reset

We shouldn't be targeting a midfielder at all unless we'll sell a bunch first... In our current setups we have like a dozen too many...
