I'd be up for a Philips + cash for Guimarães deal, but unsure Newcastle will want to lose him right now especially when there's a chance of a bidding war and overpaying in summer.

That probably is regarding Echeverri, hope we get some first team signings tho.
Couto is not a "poor" defender IMO...but he is exceptional going forward...he would be an asset to this squad and he's still only 21 years old. I'd love to see him come back...Savio will move, they other two wouldn’t cut it for me. Garcia as a gundo mid maybe but not a lone 6 if he would move (doubtful) he’s captain. Couto is a poor 1on1 defender, maybe a winger but we’d take savio.
Martinez I like for rb though, Miguel the left back too

poor 1-on-1 defender, if we're sticking with Stones (Akanji) stepping into the midfield to make the box, id take him at RW but nowhere near RB in that system.Couto is not a "poor" defender IMO...but he is exceptional going forward...he would be an asset to this squad and he's still only 21 years old.

why would there be a bidding war if there is a release clause? No one is going to pay over that and Newcastle wont accept less?
Ignore the facts of course that Melbourne City won their league 3 times in a row, Troyes got promoted to Ligue 1 and Mumbai City are one of the most successful clubs in ISL since we took them over.
Challenging for La Liga is very clearly head and shoulders above those three achievements.

So sorry, I didn't realise there was a release fee.why would there be a bidding war if there is a release clause? No one is going to pay over that and Newcastle wont accept less?
There've been plenty of games this season where due to Stones being unavailable Pep keeps both CBs back and allows Walker to push forward. In these games Walker sees a ton of the ball on the edge of the front third and for the most part does crap with it. Couto would be a huge upgrade to Walker in those scenarios as both his delivery and ability to dribble past people and get to the byline is miles above KW...JMOpoor 1-on-1 defender, if we're sticking with Stones (Akanji) stepping into the midfield to make the box, id take him at RW but nowhere near RB in that system.
