Players who might improve us

Gabriel said:
Attractive player to watch but will be 27 next May and is rather restricted in terms of where he can play, a position which Grealish and Doku can already cover. Cherki is much more versatile and with youth on his side. That said, I’m quite content to see how Bobb develops.

It's boring to have a full of the-run-of-the-mill utility players, even though tactically that's how we can manage to win matches. (In a way, versatility is an euphemism for all-purpose utility, imo.) We also want specialists who possess mental and physical maturity & experience.

Mitoma has experience of playing in the position of 8, 10 & WB as well. He just excels in the wide left playmaker role. I reckon eventually he would play more in a deep lying playmaker's position. He turned pro 3 years ago, I believe, so he would have an advantage of lasting longer & having a room for improvement.

Not entirely sure I would describe our current crop as run-of-the-mill, but I take your point. He’ll be entering the last year of his contract with Brighton next summer, so unless he extends they’ll presumably seek to capitalise on him.
 
Made a comment on the quiet thread about Guimaraes and how with his release clause we should go for him at all costs as he’s the closest thing to a gundogan that you can get.

This was his compilation in the latest Newcastle match:



If Phillips can’t pull his weight this season then we should buy Bruno G and sell Phillips.
 
Would be a great signing. I can't imagine Phillips would commsnd much of a fee though
