We're trying to build a side not weaken it with inferior materials that other clubs don't want.

Guess we won’t be many ever again, then

Dobbin , not another Donkey 😄

He's definitely not a donkey. I watched him a lot at youth level cos he was in the same Everton U21 side as my nephew and they are still good friends.

He's got great pace and acceleration, good close control and a good eye for a forward pass. He's played mostly on the left in his recent loans in the Championship but he's versatile and pops up with goals wherever he plays along the front 3.

He wouldn't be a direct Stewart replacement because he's not that profile of player. We'd probably be looking to bring him in as backup/competition for both Leo and Fellows cos he can play on either side.

Would be a decent signing IMO. 11 goals and 8 assists for PNE last season is pretty impressive.

Impressive stats in a middling side. The summary is helpful, thank you.

Couldn't see Scienza in pre season test videos on official site or Charles. Bazunu was there though along with Diaz and Downs.

I didn’t notice many (if any) of the foreign players in yesterday’s video but haven’t seen anything today. Was specifically looking for Scienza or Jander. 

Then someone pointed out that Downs was present. Was only hoping the three you mention were told to report back at an early stage so they (and a couple of others) could be told to find somewhere else and fuck off. *
 

*that’s the Downs and BBD to reinvent themselves to have a great season.

Jander was there, learning the Macarena.

Interesting summary, but reading one of the press articles indicates Villa want c £10m for him. Which would be too much for a Scienza/Fellows back up or competition in my book.

Devine looked from highlights seen a creative player who might have been capable of the Azaz role, but at £6m. 

The direct Stewart replacement is where I’d hope we’re looking to spend on. Not another short arse  forward.

Yes, thanks - since seen the photo provided by qwertyell. 
 

Pleased to see him back. 

[LocationRemot3]

Wouldn't bother with JWP. My top target is Mbappe. Looks decent at the World Cup. I reckon if Spors chucked in DD and BBD for a trade we would get a deal done.

Not sure we will have Scienza for that for long tbh

Don’t need to be a rocket scientist to make a connection between this Dobbin chap and the obvious interest in Leo.

Shaping up to be an "interesting" summer for the Geordies. Already sold both Antony Gordon and Tonali for big money and now Bruno Guimaraes reported to have asked for a transfer with Arsenal rumoured to be waiting in the wings. If they are forced to sell him too, they will be sitting on a major wad of cash and will probably be held to ransom on deals to get in replacements as everyone will know they are desperate (and minted). Maybe we can get them interested in Charles to fill one of the midfield gaps to drive his price up more?

Torino have added Ramsdale to their list of interest, but can't see it myself. They wouldn't even want to pay much of a loan fee.
