Billy Whitehurst 860 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Dunno about Thauvin but Matip is being watched by about 20 clubs... Be very surprised if we get him in. Future German first 11 material. He'll do well to get in the German team given that he has already played 26 times for Cameroon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13608 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Matip, a 23-year-old centre-half, is rated at around £10m by Schalke officials, but given that he only has one year of his current contract remaining, Newcastle’s recruitment team are hoping to complete a deal for closer to £7m. What a bunch of chancers we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 71 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) What a bunch of chancers we are. They value him at 12m euro, so we're not that far off. Don't want him now anyway. Edited June 23, 2015 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1205 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I'm quite certain we'll make signings but I seriously doubt it will be any of the names (such as Austin) that people are getting excited about. We won't pay the going rate for anyone. We have our own method of valuing a player and it always results in us wanting him for a lot less than the other club will let him go for. The only way it works is if the player is out of contract shortly/has a release clause or the other club is in the shit. It's no way to run a business and it's no wonder that we're all laughing at Charlnley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, that or they'll just be the usual replacements, not additions. Problem for us is the decent players we're interested in will cost too much (but a fair price by most clubs' standards), or the players themselves won't want to join a club that battled relegation last season. Which makes the decision we took a couple of years back to bring in only Anita look even more foolish - much easier to sell the club when it's stock is high. We could have kicked on a bit from them, albeit under Pardew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Personally I think the two biggest problems with signing players is money and the lack of commitment to a transfer. Buying a player involves signalling your intent and making a player feel wanted by the club and selling the club's ambition and plan for the future. We couldn't be further from that if we tried, we go in half arsed with a reduced offer with fingers crossed the club might accept and we get the player on the cheap, there's no selling of the club's ambition, no appeal to the player and intent on how much they want them. When was the last time we actually BOUGHT a player from the premier league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10430 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Rumblings that Tiote is in talks with Trabzonspor. I think his prolonged absence from the side means I'm not really bothered about him leaving. I think we have cover in that position (Abeid, Anita, Colback) and McClaren may want to play a style that needs more that Tiote has? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
