In all fairness, he started his career like was going to be and if if he had made some better choices, he would be playing Premier League football now.

Given how much the Pozzos like free transfers, Ben arfa and Feghouli are both out of contract in the summer. They're quite big names and lots of clubs would be looking at them but you never know. Also, this may sound stupid but how about trying to get Ashley Young back? A summer clear-out at united looks likely and we could do with a winger.
I'd love him, but a bigger club would probably snap him up, who can afford larger wages. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Not a suggestion per se, rather a query. What on earth is Will Hughes up to? I swear I haven't heard his name for about two years.
Considering both Ben Arfa and Feghouli have had a fair few disciplinary problems (Feghoulis this week), they'd be a bit of a gamble.
Oh don't get me wrong, both are ridiculously talented and i'd personally take the gamble on one of them. But whether the Pozzos would or not is another matter.
I don't even know... my desire to be provocative is much stronger than whatever my genuine opinion on the subject might be.
Jonathan Kodjia, has been scoring for fun at Bristol City, he has 20 goals so far this season and won player of the season for the French 2nd division a couple of years ago. I wonder if he might be ready to make the step up to the PL? Might be worth a cheeky punt in the Summer?
It's always difficult to tell with Championship strikers if they will make the step up - I've never seen him before, so roughly what level would you compare him to using a benchmark of other recently successful Championship scorers that have now played in the Prem, e.g. Ighalo, Afobe, Gestede, Ings? I see he's 26, so he'd need to be ready to step now-ish.
For RB Trippier from Spurs For LB Brady from Norwich CB Lascelles is Newcastle go down and also Townsend Sarabia for creativity Maybe Remy to replace Ighalo
Remy's had offers from China but is very settled where he is (happy doing naff all for Chelsea money) so don't think he'd take the drop in wages to come to us. Trippier also won't leave. Other 3 are good shouts though!
Trippier - not a crazy shout. Good player but is behind Walker in the pecking order and maybe would rather be first choice at a mid-table club (e.g. us). Brady is a LW, not LB, no? If Newcastle go down I suspect that Lascelles would be one of the few players they would keep - he's young, probably not on the highest wages, English and with Championship experience. Townsend, yes - but I suspect he'd go to a bigger club than us now if he left. Sarabia - don't really know him. Remy is probably passed his best and too expensive.
Potentially very ambitious but Arbeloa is leaving Real Madrid on a free transfer. Could be our PL version of Cassetti. 33 so could at least get a decent season out of him, and RB is somewhere we desperately need to improve on. Bit of a long shot though
Jose Enrique has just been released by Liverpool. Maybe if he's willing to take a cut on his 65k salary he would be worth a shout for the left back spot?
Anyone fancy a punt on Mitrovic. Cannot see him staying at Newcastle and wonder whether a cut price punt would be worth it. Poor at Newcastle but has a good CV
'Linked' to Boro now. Obviously they have Karanka but if they are going for him I think we could do worse than trying to get him. In my eyes we need two new RBs
