£50m is far too much, but I do think ESR is a great player that deserves more playtime. He was explosive at the end of the 21/22 season, such a great super sub.
I think he’s quite a good player but don’t see where he’ll fit in at Newcastle. Surely that money could be spent better elsewhere.
It definitely could but Eddie has an obsession with PL proven.
I know, still think Trippier Bruno and Isak are far more important this season than Gordon. You can have an off game for Gordon and still win, an off game for Bruno means a loss.
People have been calling for Bruno to be dropped up until the last couple of games. Trips is absolutely essential though, no doubt.
Isak is hugely talented, but it’s not like Wilson hasn’t been scoring.
Arsenal have to get him starting more. At least in cup matches. Unless Arteta really is taking his time with him because of the long term injury.
Considering the price for Gordon was 40-45m then 50m is really good value. That’s a fair comparison as they play similar roles and are both English. ESR is better than Gordon. The only real worry would be his injury record but if he can stay fit then 50m is more than fair.
The most Newcastley signing.
Not sure he’s what we need.
I thought this would be a cut price deal if arsenal wanted rid. 50 mill really wouldn’t be value
Yes plenty of competent teams have struggled at SJP.
Aston Villa, Tottenham, Brighton, Manchester United, Man City, Arsenal have all been beaten at SJP since the takeover.
Probably around the same value as Gordon.

Smith Rowe isn’t a bad player but surely there’s better value for money elsewhere? It’s not like they’re in desperate need of HG players
We love English players clearly.
Signed Gordon, Hall, Livramento, Barnes, Pope, Ashby, Burn, Trippier, Targett alone since the takeover.
It has been suggested that Arsenal value Smith Rowe at around £50m, but FFP rules would almost certainly force Newcastle to be creative when it came to putting together a deal for the attacking midfielder.
Yeah, I don’t see us budging on that and I don’t see Newcastle paying it either.
It’s worked so far but if we wanna reach the next level this method simply won’t work.
Yes that is the figure quoted in the article I posted.
