Polarboy 2311 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) If there are actually other bidders, and a premier league team among them, for Carlos, what's the bet it's fucking Gerrard and Villa again. Edit On another point I'm obviously not privy to the inner workings of transfer negotiations, but how the fuck does it take this long for either club A to realise that club B won't sell for anything below club A's limit, and conversely for club B to lay a marker down with how much they want. I know obviously there is some bartering and brinkmanship involved, but again it boggles the mind that either club A or B don't resolve the issue more quickly.

Phoenix711 26 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Report: Fresh Newcastle bid imminent with personal terms agreed with [Insert Player] How many headlines like this have we seen this transfer window. You'd think they'd learn the club kinda, I dunno, need to agree a price first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 29491 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 What’s the point in negotiating with the club if we don’t know whether the player will agree to come? Always best to get the player inside first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always best to get the player inside first. These personal terms are just an approximation. The actual contract can't be agreed until the fee has been agreed otherwise it's called tapping up and is sanctionable. It's why Trippier's deal took a couple of days after Athletico accepted because only after the fee was agreed were Newcastle allowed to sit down and discuss the actual contract which includes things like clauses, appearance fees etc. It's just a bit frustrating as a fan seeing personal terms which in reality means Newcastle can afford the player's wages and are willing to pay it which we know is true for most of the player's we're after. It doesn't give us a true idea of how likely the player is to sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21302 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 i think botman and carlos will both come, but both deals will be concluded in the final days of the window, annoyingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix711 26 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I don't think Botman will come. Lille would need a replacement, they've only signed Ben Arfa so unless they sign a defender I doubt he'll come. Lille will probably sell him in the Summer.

Polarboy 2311 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Even if that's the case they'll still have a full week of training more or less before the Everton match. Of course our immediate concern is Leeds, but fingers crossed that gets called off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 42648 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Would be tremendous if Leeds postpone, although they have to have it in the back of their head that we could be 4 players better off by the time we play them, if they do postpone. They might fancy their U23s chances against us. I know I would. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimaad22 3967 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Some Saudi club making a loan move for Aubameyang apparently. Surely thats worth a shot too alongside Lingard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 29491 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) Aye, sign Eriksen too along with the entire Freeman cardiology unit. Edited January 19, 2022 by ewerk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 3967 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Anything to get us to safety mate, as has been pointed out here the state of people like Lascelles and Longstaff is such we are in zero danger of downgrading in any way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Lingard would be a class loan/transfer, I think he’s a big improvement on Fraser. The only issue with it remains that our CM can’t get the forwards the fucking ball so we really need to improve that. Loan would be hilarious btw if nothing else but to wind up that bloke who said a loan for Lingard would be impossible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy, I think we need people who want to come for challenge, development , a regular team place with the upcoming internationals, or something like that. Players with bad attitude and no backbone - we've plenty of those. Oh and Lingard replacing Fraser etc. nah, I'd rather he sit in the Longstaff / Shelvey space Edited January 19, 2022 by scoobos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2311 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) Agreed on Lingard playing in that midfield three if we sign him. He's disciplined enough to play that position and still make attacking runs forward. Edit. Of course we're in far bigger need of a good box to box, defensive mid.

scoobos 297 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 The fact we are even publicly making loan bids, or bids, for quality players with Premiership experience , who have potentially little sell on value after 3 years - makes me feel like I'm tripping. Honestly if we sign lingard and trippier in the same window, I wont be able to jizz for at least a year whilst I rebuild reserves. I think I'll start hydrating in advance now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
