Transfers, 2024-25 season

[aimaad22 4655]

Those are good points but we should have had a much clearer picture after the end of the season. We've waited over a month and are now desperate with a day or two to go, other clubs knowing full well our situation. 

 

Sell Miggy for 15M if must. Wilson too. No way any of the prized assets go now that Minteh has been sacrificed.

For what we're trying to do, and the stage that we're at, I think you basically HAVE TO put yourself in a PSR hole and back yourself to get out of it? 

 

By growing commercial income, signing young players to flog, getting into the CL, having a higher quality squad with a greater resale value, etc etc. 

 

We've started this journey with a bargain basement squad and the worst commercial income in the PL. 

 

Given the restrictive rules, you either take calculated gambles, or it's a 20 year project.

Also I think the Euros have thrown a spanner in the works. Trippier for example could have moved by now. Not many deals will get done until post Euros

We've not waited a month. No one is trying to help us out here by doing deals with us at the start of the month.

 

Buying clubs will obviously wait til the last week of June cos that's when their leverage is at its highest, cos they know our predicament.

We could just accept £7m for Ashworth and that takes us to the £40m mark

And the Copa America.  Almiron must be on the unofficial transfer list.

Sad how disposable Trippier has suddenly become. Makes sense given his situation and personal issues, but sad. Easily one of the top players we've had in decades.

“Newcastle are also in talks with a Saudi Pro League club to sell Callum Wilson if personal terms can be agreed."

Apparently he wasn’t in any of the promo pictures for the new kit, which is surprising given he’s been our on field captain most of the time he’s been here. Could be one already priced in

Apparently it's already sealed

"Me source, Tiny Tess, the twenty stone monster from the Seaton Delaval social clurb has told me FC Al Hi-Barba from the Saudi league are willing to pay up to 15 mill for the man who would eat himself if he could, one Callum Wilson esquire. You heard it in the deli's bogs first. Lol."

Two issues there being that we were never offered 7 million and that we're more than 7 million shy of the mark.

 

Great idea otherwise.

[Howmanheyman 36401]

Seems legit.

Mental that we've let this go this close to the wire without signing a dustbin sponsor for £15mil 

We probably tried but it wasn’t deemed to be fair value unlike a bucket at Old Trafford to collect rain water which would be worth 100m.

[Guest MrRaspberryJam]

Elliott Anderson to Forest. Deal agreed.

Miley aside, that's our 2 brightest young players been sold in the same day.
 

I appreciate they both offer the biggest profit, but still feels like a sad day when they likes of Targett, Almiron, Wilson, Trippier, Hayden, Longstaff, Ashby, Krafth etc are still here (for now) 

[Guest MrRaspberryJam]

If we don’t plug the £44m gap we’ll get a points deduction. 
 

If we sell Minteh & Anderson for £44m we’ll escape any punishment. 
 

If we sell Minteh, Anderson and Wilson for over £44m then the PL should actually reward us with points.

Elliot Anderson to Forest agreed 🤝 

 

Remember you heard it here first.
