Is £55m for Anthony Alanga a massive overpayment from Newcastle
0:04
Well Forrest fans will definitely disagree with you and here's why. 17 goal contributions in the Premier League last season and 11 assists
0:10
That's the third most in the Premier League and only Chris Wood had more than him at Forrest
0:14
Forrest were known for their set pieces and Anthony Alanga was a key part of that
0:18
He's very, very fast, two-footed and rarely gets injured. In fact, he doesn't even get booked
0:23
So his availability is key. He didn't just offer numbers, he was part of the system
0:27
In fact, he was the system. How many times did we watch Forest last season
0:30
And their transition was absolutely unbelievable. But Newcastle, what's the plan? Because they've got fast, pacey wingers
0:36
This is their whole thing. Anthony Gordon, Harvey Barnes and even Isaac. Is it just three versions of the same player
0:42
No variety, no balance. Is this the same system? But pacing the break, as we all know, is one of the most lethal parts of football
0:48
But when everyone's doing the same thing, who's unlocking that low block? From a Langer's point of view, he only joined Forest 15 million a couple of years ago
0:55
So yeah, £55 million might seem like good business. Is that a good thing or a bad thing
1:00
I guess we'll let the comments decide
