    If we start seriously going in for wingers it won't bode well for Sarr's prognosis.

    Why? We might also think we need better additional options than JP, Cucho and Sema, especially with some key games coming up which Sarr is guaranteed to miss anyway (whether it be through injury or Afcon).

    I think another forward or winger is very important before Newcastle.

    Not sure this guy is the upgrade we need though - seems to take set-pieces but contribute little else. He seems to also sometimes play in CM.

    We should bend over backwards to get him.

    It looks like he's been used as a winger, a wing back, a striker but mainly as a central midfielder this season.

    If he's as good as Gallagher, Lemar and Bellingham, I'd personally be happy we signed him.

    This is clearly rubbish, we all know we’ll end up signing Alexis Flops.

    Not good under interrogation. Next.

    Real name is Phillips but, by law, all French footballers must be given an Allo Allo! pronunciation following Brexit.

    He is as easily good as Liam Gallagher, Kendrick Lemar and Linda Bellingham.

    Fyi his goals. and the vast majority of his assists, are from him taking penalties, corners and other set-pieces.

    Also, what the heck is up with his passing stats? Is the fact that so many of his 'passes' are him taking corners and free-kicks distorting that?!

    His tackling and interception stats per 90 there are also much higher than whoscored shows them as for some reason - on whoscored they're both at 1.8 per 90.

    That’s surely not a bad thing considering how awful every single one of players is at them?

    A bit like Ward-Prowse, a set piece expert who’s pretty average at everything else. We’d kill to have someone like him.

    Louza was meant to have been good at them, but they've not contributed anything yet.

    This guy seems decent at corners, but the thing which really sets Ward-Prowse apart is his ability to score from direct free-kicks, which can effectively win a defensive team a match out of almost nothing. Although Flips takes a lot of set-pieces, unlike Ward-Prowse he does not score from them - he has scored only 1 goal this season which was from a penalty, and scored only 1 goal last season which was from a mishit cross.

    Although I'd have been happy with a player like Ward-Prowse, this guy isn't quite that.

    Crazy name, crazy guy. It's a yes from me

    I'd sign them both. Our players act like they are already on the beach by March, so it would be nice to really lean in.

    Short arse and therefore must have been brilliant to make it. It’s a ‘yes’ from me.

    You are getting them confused with international French success Phillipe Flop.

    He's only taken 14 corners in the league though so far!

    Reids, do you have a radar for this Flips fellow?

    I wouldn't read too much into the radars considering he's been used all over the pitch which will likely distort some of the data

    Has he really played up front and at CB? TVOR will be licking his lips.

    I predict he's a Pozzo/Mogi money-laundering scheme and not an actual player

    There is no chance Sarr will be here next season. He will be playing for a proper team.

    Looks like Newcastle could well sign another Reims player, young striker Hugo Ekitike, for over £30m. I imagine Reims therefore won’t need to sell anyone else.

    That is an insane amount of money for a player who's only played 19 Ligue 1 games in his career!
