You see him reporting this all the time. It's cos he's plugged into the world of agents and they're all shady shits trying to bounce their clients into a move, cos that's how they make their money.

How can they agree terms with a player, if they haven't agreed with the club?

"We'll give you a shit ton of tax-free money"

"Sounds Good, Amigo"

 

or something like that.

Why would you go to the club first to then only be rejected by the player because he doesnt want to play for you? Makes more sense to have a deal ready with the player first

Because if two clubs agree a fee it does tend to send a certain message to the player… that’s how it used to work but things are different nowadays…IMG_5227.thumb.jpeg.71cdbe7f416b04dbe72d1e1bb0b0a77d.jpeg

Yes I was sure there was a protocol as if someone throws cash at you, then your head can be turned and unsettle the player.

Isn’t it tapping up to go to the player first, and against the rules? The selling club has to give permission to speak to the player (or so I thought)

Well you can ask permission to talk to the player and try and sort out personal terms, then try and sort a transfer deal between the clubs. No point agreeing a fee if the player isn't interested or the sums involved are too far apart.

even a reasonably exciting rumour would do.

I’ve heard that the entire squads’ Mrs have all gradually come down with a particularly rare ( outside of Yorkshire) STD. 

 

Any comment @wykikitoon

The difference back then was the club held your registration even after contract was over. So they could stop you moving but then put you on significantly worse terms. They could also demand a transfer fee, even though the contract was expired. So, in PL’s example, Alan Ball could’ve seen his career effectively ended by not agreeing to the move. This is what happened to Jean-Marc Bosman, and precipitated his legal action. Ironically Bosman was left skint by it all, once his legal fees were taken into account and has never had any meaningful recompense since. Despite being largely responsible for making players and their agents much more powerful and rich as a result of what he did.

A centre-back and a right-winger are Howe’s priorities while recruiting another goalkeeper is under consideration.

 

Wilson’s injury increases the need for another forward, given Isak is the only fit striker. Howe, Mitchell and Eales are unified in their desire to prioritise quality over quantity, with most additions intended to improve the first XI.

 

Howe has been keen to bolster Newcastle’s right wing for several windows, with a significant portion of their budget expected to be spent on that position. Having missed out on top target Michael Olise to Bayern Munich, despite meeting his Crystal Palace release clause, Newcastle retain an interest in Nottingham Forest’s Anthony Elanga, while Noni Madueke of Chelsea and West Ham United’s Jarrod Bowen are among those to have been discussed.

 

Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin had been a target but, after a deal with Everton collapsed last month, Newcastle turned their attention to others. Lille’s Jonathan David has been watched for a long time. Newcastle want a right-sided centre-back and AC Milan’s Malick Thiaw, a 22-year-old Germany international, and Nice’s Jean-Clair Todibo are among those tracked.

 

Which players could be leaving?


Newcastle are looking to reduce the average age of their squad, with further senior players to depart, though there is no longer a pressing need to move people out for profitability and sustainability reasons.

 

Miguel Almiron may leave if a right-winger joins, with Saudi Pro League clubs showing tentative interest, while Wilson, Dubravka, Kieran Trippier and Emil Krafth are into the final year of their deals and exits have been explored.

 

Newcastle hope to offload Jamal Lewis and Ryan Fraser, with the latter having agreed a deal with Southampton, though the details must be finalised with his club. While Lewis played in Newcastle’s opening pre-season friendly victory against SpVgg Unterhaching, Fraser remains banished from first-team training. Isaac Hayden is also available.

 

Bruno Guimaraes’ £100million release clause expired last month and Newcastle are keen to keep hold of the Brazil midfielder, while they have no intention of selling Isak. Howe and Eales are adamant Anthony Gordon will stay, despite internal fears that his head was turned by an awareness of Liverpool’s interest.
