Isn't Bowen significantly younger though?

19/20?

Aye - we won't be getting him.

Leceister are also interested apperently.

Who would you chose if you weren't a toon a fan but a professional footballer. . .

Contrast the fortunes of Leicester City and Newcastle United, both bought by billionaires.

Problem is that there are billionaires who have got there with foresight and integrity, and there are those who are utter arseholes who have got there by taking advantage of lesser unfortunates and taking them for a ride before trampling them underfoot.

Leicester are fortunate to have got the former, while we were left with the latter, the dregs.

Perez looks a waste of 30m he cant even get in the team lately as well, Problem with Bowen is he scores for fun in the championship but would he be up to premier league football ? Gayle scores for fun in the championship but is useless in the premier league so we dont really want another striker the same

Oh, aye...I mean, we all knew we had their pants down for £30 million. That front 3 of Almiron, Perez and Rondon were greater than the sum of their parts, without a shadow of doubt. Look at how they're all faring separately. Perez was utter shite for loarge parts of each season he was with us.

Some players are like a very effective, individual tool in their own right whilst others are more like part of a Swiss Army knife and are less effective than....ah, fuck it...this is a shit analogy, forget it
