00:00Is £55m for Anthony Alanga a massive overpayment from Newcastle?

00:04Well Forrest fans will definitely disagree with you and here's why.

00:0717 goal contributions in the Premier League last season and 11 assists.

00:11That's the third most in the Premier League and only Chris Wood had more than him at Forrest.

00:14Forrest were known for their set pieces and Anthony Alanga was a key part of that.

00:18He's very, very fast, two-footed and rarely gets injured.

00:21In fact, he doesn't even get booked.

00:23So his availability is key.

00:24He didn't just offer numbers, he was part of the system.

00:27In fact, he was the system.

00:28How many times did we watch Forrest last season?

00:31And their transition was absolutely unbelievable.

00:33But Newcastle, what's the plan?

00:35Because they've got fast, pacey wingers.

00:36This is their whole thing.

00:38Anthony Gordon, Harvey Barnes and even Isak.

00:40Is it just three versions of the same player?

00:42No variety, no balance?

00:43Is this the same system?

00:45But pacing the break, as we all know, is one of the most lethal parts of football.

00:49But when everyone's doing the same thing, who's unlocking that low block?

00:52From Alanga's point of view, he only joined Forrest £15m a couple of years ago.

00:55So yeah, £55m might seem like good business.

00:59Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

01:00I guess we'll let the comments decide.

01:01Let's go.

01:02Let's go.

01:03Let's go.
