He was at the start of the Kerkez negotiations but you’ve heard about his father right :wink:

I was listening to the TAW transfer video and I just could not understand why they kept going on about getting Antony Gordon when we already got 2 wingers that are 10 times better than him and have scored more goals than him.

We need rotation options, especially as Nunez is likely exiting, Jota is unreliable, Diaz has been linked with a move, and Salah has AFCON (he also only has two years left and might leave next summer).

But hes still shit. Barcelona seem to be going down the Williams route so that door is closing for Diaz.

Ah, I don’t agree. I think he’s a quality winger. There are players I’d prefer over him - namely Isak, Nico Williams, Doue, and Rodrygo. But Isak and Doue are likely cost prohibitive Williams looks headed to Barca. I really wanted us to sign Kvaratskhelia last winter, but he chose PSG.

Ok we need players to fill in but what we need is hard working players not ones that just turn up in big matches.

Bayern Munich will target Brighton and Japan winger Kaoru Mitoma, 28, and Liverpool and Netherlands forward Cody Gakpo, 26, if they miss out on Spain and Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams, 22. (Sky Germany)

If Bayern were to make an offer I don’t think it’s inconceivable that Cody would be interested. BM are certainly capable of offering more in terms of salary and he might think he has more chance of regular first team starts there.

Price for Bayern:

Still hypothetical, but if Gakpo went to Bayern, I would offer Diaz a two year extension and buy Malick Fofana. We would have a senior guy wrapped up until he is 32, and a younger player with a high ceiling to challenge.

Sky Germany is binfire.

It’s loaded with ifs it’s regurgitated nonsense and I think Gakpo is happy here.

Seen a few reports saying LFC want Isak - great player and finisher but does his injury record not worry anyone. Only 26 but misses quite a few games - we already have Jota for that.

Misses more games than nunez misses goals, that be my worry

We aren’t getting Isak. Not for the price that’s quoted.

The sad part is that we could have got him much earlier. I guess he’s too expensive for us and too injury prone too.

Newcastle have had to manage his game time last season and those injuries are only going to pile up more and more.

Bayern often can’t compete with other top European clubs when it comes to wages. Gakpo has made steps here and was part of our winning formula offensive trio last season. Bayern objectivelly can be something for him to at least consider, but I also think he’s going nowhere this summer. Pretty sure out of our forward line that the likes of obviously Salah, Gakpo and Jota are safe.

Don’t think Jota should be safe.

But the problem remains who would want to bid for him.

Hopefully he recovers from the knock he took against Chelsea and gets back to his good self.

It worries me a lot as does his overall game. I thought he was the dog’s bollox when I first saw him but I think he has a bit of an attitude problem. Could be (probably am) wrong.

I could see Jota going if we get an offer for him and we sign a new first choice striker. Would let Diaz and Gakpo fight over being first choice on the left and leave Diaz as the backup striker as well.
