Rico Lewis | Set to sign a new 5-year contract (pg33)

[JustAnotherCityFan]

If we structure the deal the same as the Mcatee deal then it's a no brainer.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Not arsed about the price. I'm more worried about leaving ourselves short.

Yes, if we get a proper replacement.

The only replacement we can get is somebody else from the academy. If there was somebody in the academy capable of replacing him, they'd already have done it.

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Could we prize Hinshelwood out of brighton? Does everything lewis does but better

 

[Lkzerinho]

Wouldn't do it at this point unless we have a top tier RB lined up to come in and replace him.

If that's the case then I'd do it at 35m with sell on and buy back clauses.

 

[mcfcpride]

Yes get rid. He's not City level.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

We have one natural full back in the squad and need home grown players so can't see Rico going anywhere unless Livramento comes in.

 

[mexico1970]

Yes get rid. He's not City level.

 

[akrh215]

He can leave if he wants, as long as we can get Livramento to take his place.

Nunes and Stones ahead of him at right back and zero chance he plays in midfield and he knows it

 

[Lee the Blue]

With Grealish, McAtee and Walker already out of the door Im not sure how we meet the HG quota if Rico departed too. Unless theres a right back coming in who satisfies this - which wont be Livramento as Newcastle in now way need to sell nor wish to either.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Why would be open to allowing him to leave? There's no benefit to it other than money and we aren't desperate for money. It just gives us a smaller squad for the season and we saw how that went last year. Makes zero sense. I call bullshit.

There's no way in hell he goes without a replacement coming in

Newcastle told you this

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Sounds like City may have him in the shop window because he’s not committing to a new deal at the price they’re offering. If so, I hope Rico knows what he’s doing and can get the terms he wants elsewhere.

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

I think if it came down to signing 2 of Rodrygo, Donnarumma or Livramento I’d be leaving Donnarumma. We’ve a keeper with potential to be the best in the world already, so invest in him. Otherwise, we’ve a fair few options for wingers. I’d prioritise Livramento all day.

 

[skillman]

I’d snap your hands off for £30m on his current ability. Don’t think we have a place for what I think his strengths are (not RB!) but if we sell, it’s a failure if there’s no buy back in there.

 

[manimanc]

He's going nowhere.

Quite settled in his new house in Failsworth.

Not even Forest offering double his wages will tempt him.

 

[ninjamonkey]

He can leave if he wants, as long as we can get Livramento to take his place.

Which he quite literally cannot. Nobody outside of the academy can take his place. He effectively doesnt have a place to take.

 

[Sheikh rattle and roll]

A long shot and not sure how I feel about it
Is Connor Bradley counted as home grown he must be pissed with Frimpong arriving
Is he good enough would they sell him to us

I do like him as a player but no I don't think they would sell to us.

 

[lee_wsm]

Needs game time sell him with buyback let him get some development time in a first squad somewhere
