These Newcastle owners tighter than Mike Ashley. Maybe it's because they also own Chelsea

As in we're still keen to bring him back, and he's keen to return. I think something will happen with him towards the end of the window, once Chelsea spunk another £50m+ on a striker

I don't agree.

Think it was €22m ~ £19.2m at the time.

But you're not allowed to do that because of FFP. I know it is a load of bullshit and it has loopholes galore, but you can see right now that Everton and Leicester are struggling because of it, and Newcastle are certainly being a bit more careful than I think most people were expecting them to be, due to FFP.

I feel like a saga has to go on for more than a day, Like a Rudi Skacel, or a Gaston Ramirez type saga.

Dont they include inflation / currency fluctuations? Mane is £10.5m, Vestergaard was £18m and Ings was £18m, Carillo was £20m I think...

03…probably 18/19 years old then.

No Vale or CHO playing for Chelsea’s kids tonight…

Assume thats an FFP thing catching them up? Vardy linked with Man Utd today, and Tielemans still expected to go to Arsenal, Fofana possibly still going to Chelsea. Can see a few outs, and then reinvesting, a bit like Everton to get around the FFP issue

Thats the one, mishit it into the top corner.

Corrected it for you...

He was part of that team that went up to Anfield and won under Puel, and he did brilliantly. I've loved his energy and his passion, and his shithousery, but as a first team player he just made far too many mistakes to be taken seriously as a first choice defender. Let's be honest, he's probably been here longer than he thought he would have been and should have been. Best of luck to him though if it is true. £7.5m is fine.

You can't have it both ways. I'm not a fan of 5atb, but you can't say its the reason we got beat by Burnley and Liverpool. but we beat Arsenal through just luck...

I'm not convinced he was trying to do it, but it's certainly nice to have someone with a bit of composure. Agree he needs to start every week, certainly atm.

More likely to be Delap than Iheanacho.

Another 2 goals this weekend, wonder if we'll see him in the first team picture at all this season. Possibly on the bench at Cambridge, or towards the end of the season if we're safe with a bit of wiggle room (which lets be honest is looking unlikely)

FFP though isn't it, They sell a player for big money, especially someone like Gordon who had no transfer fee, they sell him and it's all profit, They only have to take a % of the new players transfer fee this year. I'm not really sure where they are from a cash perspective, but despite them being a bit of a mess financially, I think this is why you're still seeing them throw money around, hasn't been any bids for Che supposedly though. He wants a new contract, and club aren't discussing contracts until end of transfer window.

No idea, might not even be for the first team tbh. one to keep an eye on.

They've enquired about Bednarek supposedly....cmon do the right thing.

Yup - I was expecting maybe Bournemouth or Bristol City. Think he's just about to have a baby, rather than had one already, but yeah. One to keep a eye on...money talks at the end of the day and Watford would be a decent move for him, and good money. Struggling to get rid of other squad players from what I've been told. Offers in for Lis & Macca, so expecting one to leave. Club would prefer to get rid of Macca as on higher wages. Rejected offer for Diallo as we need cover. Medical booked for Weds apparently....🤞

Interesting...I believe he moved back to cornwall, as his missus wanted to as they're both from down there, so I was told he wanted to play for someone closer to home. so to move to Watford is an interesting one. Think he'll do ok there though, but if they get promoted again sure he'll be happy being a squad player.

Looking forward to this one. Can’t be any worse than when we went up there at the end of last season. Hopefully we go with 4222. 🤞
