Some bad news on Dayann Mathalie. Looks like he's got an injury. Might not deter the club if it's nothing too serious.

Guess we'll have to wait and see.


During a Toulouse press conference, it was revealed that Methalie has been ruled out for several weeks due to a knee injury.

The teenager has started 14 Ligue 1 games for Toulouse so far this season and has been deployed in a wing-back role on the left for the majority, contributing one assist.

He was set to miss Friday?s match against Lens due to suspension regardless so the club opted for the defender to have surgery to address a chronic knee issue.

Toulouse head coach Carles Martinez Novell said during his pre-match press conference: ?He'd been in pain for over a year, so we decided to take advantage of his suspension to operate now.

?It's not serious, but we don't know exactly when he'll be back. He'll be out for several weeks.?

Convient his injury is now and for a few weeks. . .

If we want him, I think we'll still go for him.

I dont think we will sign anyone significant this window. Maybe a unknow youngster.

It doesent really sound like any of the linked players will be available.

I'm not sure that new signings is what we need, tbh.

Howe should spend all his time, reviewing his tactics, training etc.

Directors should concentrate on securing contracts with the players we got, and that we want to keep.

Best of luck to him.

Mind, peak Willock was a couple of seasons ago and he doesn't offer anything more than being another body.

Ramsey is his direct replacement but has a lot more to his game. Once JJ is up to speed we'll see a decent return on investment.

Best wishes to Willock where ever he lands.

I think it's an unfortunate coincidence. The injury is a minor ones as you said Jam, it won't deter Newcastle United's pursuit of the lad.

Ideal profile right now. Versatile, young, ambitious, quality, physical, bags of potential.

yeah man, the word is that club plans to be opportunistic. If someone becomes available they'll act.

Despite the knock it looks like the one closest to getting done is the Dayann Methalie fella.

Let's see how it works out!

with 9 games this month the lad need to find some consistency and get some results even if it means winning ugly.

Don't really care. At this point all that matters is the points.

Its surprising how close we are to 5th despite such a **** show season from us. Still a big upturn is needed to get there.

Exactly my point of the other thread 'is everyone Sh1t ... '

Everyone is beating everyone else.

18 points from 17th to 5th -

from Bin Dips in 4th 33 points to Brighton in 14th 25 points - 2 wins, 2 draws.

Mental.

A bit of a run, 4-5 wins in a row and lifts NUFC up to 2nd / 3rd place.

[Ragatino]

The cartel destabilisation machine is winding up once.

No coincidence to see the Tino to Arsen-hole & Sandro to Chelsea reports coinciding with an up turn in for for the team and the march back up the league.

Neither player is going anywhere this season, both are more likely to sign a new contract should the team achieve a 2nd qualification to the Champions League which is looking more and more likely with every passing week.

Tiago Gabriel - Dominant Defender - 2025

My new Fav CB transfer target. Tiago Gabriel

6'5" - 21 yrs old - right footed. 90% pass accuracy

Portuguese, so no AFCON issues in the future. Already a key player for the Portuguese U-21s, yet to make his senior debut. However, he could be on the plane in the summer world cup.

Still Raw but rapid and reads the game well. Loves a tackle. Got BDB physicality & game reading about him but quicker, younger.

Doing well for Lecce in Serie A this season

https://www.transfermarkt.com/tiago-gabriel/profil/spieler/1112449

15m Euro value. 1 yr left on his contract.

Ideal Eddie Howe project player.


Thoughts on this fella?

Has he been linked, Raga?

Rudy Galetti is one of the better Italian Journos.

Juve and Inter are both pursuing the defender. Juve is trying to do a player swap.

Price will be in the region of 35-40m Euro for a player of his talent and potential is that sweet spot like Tino, Hall, Thiaw the club like to invest in future talent with the ability to add value now.

He's the 5th best U-21 talent in the top 5 leagues.

He recons Tiago Gabriel needs another season in Lecce and isn't quite ready for the Prem even as a rotation player. However, the price tag is compelling.

Tone Mango's top choise is Jeremy Jacquet. With an honourable mention for Samson Baidoo at Lens in Ligue Un

[Jammy89]

I signed Baidoo on football manager

Him and Botman became an immense partnership for me.
