Happy Face 29 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 This is taken from Reddit so may not be accurate but apparently the transfer fees for Ronaldo, Bale and James now equate to 265 million euros, which is more than Ajax have spent on transfers in their entire history. Be "interesting" to see how that stacked up against us @happyface Mike Ashley alone has spent over £180m euros at nufc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acrossthepond 877 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) Chilean publication El Mercurio is reporting that Newcastle have reached an agreement with Juventus for Mauricio Isla. An £8million fee is said to have been agreed for the full-back, who will join on a four-year contract. http://www.emol.com/noticias/deportes/2014/07/22/671067/mauricio-isla-se-uniria-a-sanchez-y-pellegrini-en-la-premier-esta-muy-cerca-de-fichar-por-newcastle.html Isla se uniría a Sánchez y Pellegrini en la Premier: Está muy cerca de fichar por Newcastle El lateral chileno tiene casi sellado su traspaso por 14 millones de dólares al fútbol inglés, dejando así atrás su irregular periodo en la Juventus. Isla podría defender al Newcastle. SANTIAGO.- La Premier League inglesa está muy cerca de sumar a un chileno más. Se trata del lateral Mauricio Isla quien tiene todo arreglado para fichar en el Newcastle United.El formado en la Universidad Católica se uniría así a Alexis Sánchez, nueva incorporación del Arsenal, y a Manuel Pellegrini, técnico campeón con el Manchester City.Isla dejaría atrás su irregular paso por la Juventus de Italia y emigraría a las "Urracas", conjunto que desembolsaría 14 millones de dólares por su pase, según informa este martes El Mercurio.La partida del lateral derecho galo Mathieu Debuchy del Newcastle al Arsenal -en 22 millones de dólares- dejó abierto el flanco para la llegada de Isla a Inglaterra. Cuando se oficializó el traspaso del francés a los "Gunners", en Newcastle apuraron el paso y lograron un preacuerdo con la squadra bianconera , adelantándose a la Fiorentina, que también pretendía al lateral chileno.Isla debería llegar antes del 28 de julio a Italia para finiquitar su vínculo con la "Vecchia Signora" y sellar su nuevo compromiso con los ingleses, cuadro que en el pasado torneo terminó décimo en la tabla. It says Isla is close to signing for us and will bring to an end his irregular run in the Juventus team for a $14 million fee. The English League may soon include another Chilean, with our sale of Debuchy to Arsenal leaving our right flank open (although that's what we signed Janmaat for...) It also says that we seized the opportunity after selling Debuchy to Arsenal and reached a pre-agreement with Juve, beating Fiorentina to the opportunity, and that Isla is due back before July 28 to end his time with the Old Lady and seal his new deal with NUFC. I don't know much about him except that he played at the WC. Anyone watch much Serie A? Edited July 22, 2014 by acrossthepond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Been denied hasn't it?Like you say - what's the point? We got Janmaat. I know Isla can play in midfield as well though. Even then, I'd hope our time, money and resources were being aimed at another striker (and if possible another creative midfielder and a CB).

Kid Dynamite 7025 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 £8mil on a RB/RW is mental. That's literally our most stocked position atm. Steven Taylor, YMB, Ryan Taylor, Dummet, Santon, Janmaat and Anita can all play there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Doesn't appear to have legs, thankfully (the story, not Isla...). Would like to think the only speculation we're involved in for a while concerns us bringing in a striker. The rest of the side is in fairly good shape, the strikeforce really doesn't inspire me with confidence unless Riviere and Perez surprisingly take the league by storm.

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) James Rodriguez signs for Real Madrid for £63 million Unless I'm much mistaken, all in all Di Maria had the better stats last season, playing in the better league. And now he'll likely be moved on. Not for the first time, I think they've bought a player they don't need. Good World Cup from Monaco's point of view, his performances added a fair few quid to the fee they got.

ohhh_yeah 2964 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Barcelona have lost the plot. They have announced the transfer of Jeremy Mathieu. Signed the 30 year old to a four year contract with a further year option. Valencia receive twenty million euros and Barcelona slapped a fifty million buyout clause in his new contract. Valencia must be laughing all of the way to the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1244 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Di Maria sored 4 in 34 league games with 18 assists. James scored 9 in 34 league games is 11 assists. Pretty comparable record, you could argue James was in a poorer league, but you could argue that Di Maria was playing with much better players. Either way they seem to have based this signing on the back of an excellent world cup for James after Di Maria had probably his best season for Madrid when he finally became an important player for them. I've little doubt that he'll do well for them but I'm interested in how he will fit in with Ronaldo, Bale and Benzema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
