Summer Transfer Thread 24/25

@woppy101

Kelly is a rather shrewd bit of business adds that much needed pace in the back line that you have called out multiple times

We also seem to be having that major squad overhaul this season and trimming the fat.

Richie, Dumment, Hendrick!!!!! and Karius all set free Frazer looks set to sign for Southampton. Hayden also might get his contract terminated and join QPR.

Might even get a fee for Dubs from Celtic.

£300k a week in wages save there alone mate, and if we get a fee for dubs, all the better.
I have said multiple times, playing such a high line and aggressive press with defenders that are very slow was a recipe for disaster.

Not quite sure what the others were on but Hendrick and Frazer were in large wages because Mike saved on a transfer fee!

@Vandle
Seems Bournemouth fans are sorry to see him go after all. Video also explains your post.

They explain that’s he’s a better CB than fullback but there’s not much in it that he keeps getting shifted about between the two positions.

 

[Bigpig]

Or they knew the rules, signed a load of players spending an absolute bucketload and now are facing the consequences. Theyve spent nearly 600 mil in 4 seasons lmao.

that’s certain clubs wage bill for 2 season

Just a wee bit of competition

We ain’t signing Oilise mate

Don’t care still going to watch the welcome to Newcastle YouTube videos

Seen we have a medical booked for James Trafford. 15m with 5mil addons to come in and complete with Pope.

Our GK position has cost us dearly over the last two season when Pope has been out.

He had a bit of a rough season but seems to have bags of potential.

 

[Bigpig]

If he does compete with Pope you will just have the same issue next season. Very few clubs have elite back up keepers because you can't keep 2 keepers happy and its not a position that you usually rotate much outside of injuries. Even then, would you bring Pope back in when fit? If you don't Pope will likely want to leave.

Think that’s what makes Trafford ideal. Pope will be number one and Trafford will be his long term replacement but better than what we currently have/had.

Although I think that’s now both Popes shoulders that have had issues. So who’s knows.

Didn’t Manu vote to block Loans etc when the Saudi league started to buy players incase they were loaned back to Newcastle

Well well well . How the tables have turned

 

[Bigpig]

Apparently we are in talks for DCL with Everton. Grim.

Minteh could be going the other direction!!

I’m starting to think there are quite a few PL clubs cooking the books lol

 

[Bigpig]

Minteh has agreed terms with a unknown club have a feeling that it’s the certain German club that’s fantastic for developing youth… in the hands now for Newcastle to sort terms.

Strange signing DCL if it happens. He's no better than Wilson and is even more injury prone. Hopefully he's cheap.

is anyone as injury prone as Wilson? Not sure there are many strikers that want to come in and play second fiddle to Isak who’s about to sign a new long term contract. DCL is all about giving us something different and happy enough to sit on the bench.

 

[Bigpig]

It'll be everton, you get Calvert-Lewin they get Minteh

Not saying nothing just look what happened when we got the last time we bought a player from Everton with woeful dress sense!!!

Chelsea make enquiry for Newcastle's Alexander Isak

SIMON JONES AND CRAIG HOPE: Mail Sport understands conversations have taken place between the clubs and the Blues have indicated a want to sign the Sweden international.

www.dailymail.co.uk

Plot twist Chelsea want Isak

Who doesn’t

He’s not for sale unless they going to throw 150-200million at us

 

[Bigpig]

Do tell why Newcastle will have to sell

He’s just pissy because they now have Mike Ashley 2.0 now running Manu.

Lowballing everyone then yapping in interviews because they been told to pay up.
