Call me cynical but I'll believe it when he pulls a Toon shirt on and is shaking hands with Eddie
Burn all the way for meThat's the next problem, aside from completing our target list. Burn or Schar or maybe even Lascelles as partner to Botman
It's an interesting signing. He's left footed it's less common for two left footed centre backs to play together so where that leaves our best centre back burn I don't know . Unless Eddie's thinking of a back three
We need another starting striker
We do but again, it depends on what formation Howe sees as our first choice.
If it's a 3-5-2 or any of the other 4-4-2/4-1-3-2 permutations then it's a definite but he may persist with a 4-3-3 which would then see one out and out striker and 2 wingers or floaters in the shape of Saint-Maximin, Fraser and Almiron.
Our target will surely be either upcoming or one to cause impact from the bench with the new sub quota. Just not sure there'll be a big priced striker signing until January at the earliest due to FFP rules or the unknown state of Callum Wilson's fitness over a season.
Games against the so called 'big 6' may see us employ our plan B tactics and it's here where a second striker should come more into the fold.
"or the unknown state of Callum Wilson's fitness over a season."
It's known
If we did get Calvert-Lewin then he'd do well just to get his head down and avoid all the fashion show bollocks as it wont go down well here.
Exactly what I was thinking.Hopefully just his agent touting him about. I'd hope our recruitment would be aiming a lot higher that him.
