Sancho back to Dortmund. 

I would love it if he had a cracking end of the season.

no major incomings this month plus a major player potentially sold down the line to increase ffp headroom, according to the king of catastrophe himself, craig hope

 

Love it. Headline says 'Newcastle fans are warned that one of Eddie Howe's star men may need to be SOLD to satisfy Financial Fair Play rules'  

What was said 'It’s difficult to hypothesise but, if we’re offered £1billion for one of those players, then no-one could argue against that making sense'

He's versatile - he's shite in multiple positions.

Problem with Ashley was that he would have just pocketed the cash. Mandy will want to pump all the cash back into the club.

 

Curious to know how much the value of these things are, say it was £10m that could let us get another Isak!

 

Not saying we should rename mind!

£10m? I'd want a hell of a lot more than that.

The Sports Direct Arena (for no money) was one thing. 
 

But I’m sure we’d all tolerate Sela St James’ Park for an extra £50m a season or whatever. Everyone would still call it SJP so who gives a shit?

Tbf the idea under Ashley was to sell the naming rights to a third company but it caused a huge uproar. Rightfully. It was a shit idea then and it is shit idea now.

I don’t think he ever had any intention of selling the stadium naming rights. It was just another free advertising opportunity for the business he actually cared about. There wasn’t a square inch of the ground that wasn’t covered with that minging sports direct logo.

I'd be livid if we sold Willock before Almiron. Fish has a good point about how heavily loaded we are on the left though. And none of the them seem to be as useful on the right wing. Gordon given time perhaps?

Almiron would be the first team player most people would choose to get shot off first, but who would actually give us decent money for him? 
 

Willock has missed that much football I'm not sure how much we would miss him, but who is going to pay big money for a player who can't stay fit? Likewise for Wilson.

 

Id be gutted if Bruno, Isak or Botman went as they have been three of our best signings since the takeover and the team should be getting built around them.

Darren Eales is always banging on about selling players for FFP. Right, we get it, fuck me. I think we’ve made our point, no need to labour it every transfer window. Especially when we start throwing about 40 and 50 million like it’s nowt 

[Isegrim 10325]

The harsh truth is that we don’t have many valuable and saleable players. I don’t think we can really make decent money apart from selling the big hitters.

I’m amazed Al-Kebab of the Saudi pro league haven’t come in with a £40m bid for Miggy

They'd communicate the reason as well.

Yup. Isak and Bruno being about it.

Yeah this is obviously a problem. But then I suppose if a player is not regular starting eleven there is a reason for it, whether that's fitness, form or quality. It's still possible they could have value for another team.

 

I'd ideally keep Miggy and Wilson as squad players, but we may not have that luxury unless the plan really is to ship Bruno off. 

Not beyond the realms of possibility that a mid table premier league club would take a punt on Wilson for 25-30M? He has an injury record aye but he's also a proven goal scorer in this league and they're not easily found these days. Miggy should also be attractive to mid table clubs in that price range.  Whether we're able to find the right deal is another question.

Botman. It's really just those three.

 

I suppose Joelinton too, we spent £40m on him and he's got to be worth double that now.

[wykikitoon 22705]

I would like us to give Botman another contract and get him tied down.  He's schexy

You're right; our commercial and marketing department was Penfold answering the phone using a slightly different voice. If any company legitimately wanted to do any sort of deal they'd have had to wait for his order of Commercial Sponsorship for Dummies to be fulfilled.

if this is true we're surely signing a player or two this window
