Sensible Transfers: Newcastle United | Summer 2022

This is the first Summer Transfer window for Newcastle United, Eddie Howe, and their new billionaire owners. So we should expect some significant signings. But if the January transfer window is anything to go by, they know they should be signing Stepping-Stone players. So who should Newcastle sign to upgrade their squad and take them to the next stage of their development?

Ngl Newcastle’s recruitment so far has been actually pretty good. With the money they have..they could lure anyone but instead they’re trying to build a solid foundation with underrated players coupled with youngsters who’re top class with very high ceilings ofc.

[maw]

I think Pulsic would be very interesting, with an upcoming US-based WC in four years stimulating an already growing US market, he could bring plenty more interest to the club from overseas and grow their global brand.

[grumpy_doctor]

With counter attacking play Nicolas Pepe might flourish in Newcastle, he produces good numbers despite not suited in Arsenal tactics. Will be available on a cheap price too

[BlackJackalGaming]

I think you've missed that Chris Wood was being fed the ball, which will be why there wasn't many assists. Callum Wilson is always injured so that's probably their most important spot to fix

[lukemiller_]

Kehrer would be a perfect signing, someone who can develop as the club does for a number of years. Didn't think of him myself and think he'd be the perfect addition

[jordanns]

The almiron thing didn't age well lol

[carvertaylor]

As a Newcastle fan this summer I'm not too worried about another cb after botman, I think we need a winger/10 that has consistent goal involvements and another box to box or defensive minded center mid, after that if there's still budget a younger striker who can provide somewhat now but also not expect to always start in front of Wilson when fit

[reganbrannigan]

Pulisic is fast, tenacious and works hard. He’d fit in really well at Newcastle and I’d love to have him. However, with his injury record so bad we just can’t afford it. Wilson is incredibly injury prone and Saint-Maximin has missed a lot of games for us too. If we signed Pulisic we could quite easily lose our entire front 3 to injury, I’m not sure that’s wise.

I think a video on why la liga teams are so successful in europe is very much needed, la liga teams have much lower budgets than premier league teams yet since 2000 la liga has won 11 UCL vs premier 5 and 11 europa leagues vs premier 4

[mgbythesea]

Guys, despite a stellar season, this remains the last video you've produced regarding Newcastle United. I feel you're due an update on this - I'd value your opinion on how the team has developed under Eddie Howe and what we could do to improve the squad for a European campaign next season, perhaps compared with what Leicester did (or didn't) do.

[pawsgerby]

NUFC have a well-defined wage cap of ~100K/week, the owners have stated that. they certainly aren't going to break it for Pulisic

[sammy]

Can we do Barcelona? That sounds like a challenge for tifo to tackle!

[lucaslonchampt]

It's funny how I just watched an Irish Guy video asking for a big move, and now I'm watching one for reasonable ones

[AriLegall]

Anybody remember 2011-12 Newcastle Team. Man they were something special.Cisse was a monster

[ChefRojo]

So under the guidance of Howe, Burn and Schar formed a formidable defensive partnership, with one of the best defensive records in the league from January. They've already strengthened with a guy that will no doubt take the place of one of these 2, yet Tifo thinks they need to sign another centre back? Despite the fact the centre forward is always injured and his only backup is as useful as a subbuteo piece?

GG lads.

[gameplayerbr]

Tifo needs to do a Flamengo edition, they'd get a lot of views from their massive fanbase. Flamengo needs an RB, an RW and a CDM. They've suggested a couple of South American players (I recall a Chilean CB, for instance), they could do the same here.

[loganday]

loo the almiron comment didnt age well

[ironhide]

Let's get one for Chelsea I'd love to see you guys would want as a replacement for Kante and Jorginho. As well as Centre Back options

[ryantake]

Pulisic’s 19-20 season at Dortmund?!? Wasn’t he at Chelsea at that point?

[moisesfernando]

Tifo “we only care about on field performance” also tifo “Kehrer… not only for footballing reasons” 😅
