IRC we gave them the gate receipts for the game which has always been allowed

Hopefully we're about to find out.

I’m never sure. Maybe helps with actual payments however the PSR bit still maximum of 5yrs spread I believe on the books so nothing gained on that front.

Thought Scalvini had a release clause?

Club possibly making a statement with using Isak to advertise the new home friendly on the socials

There's a reason he might go to Turkey and that is because he is on the decline, they love a signing of a player on the decline. 12 league goals over the last three seasons.

Much prefer a derisory bid.

Who you raised it with?

I thought it was just to spread the cost of the signing over a longer period. But I don't actually know.

Was just thinking last night and have a feeling you’d know the answer… Do you reckon the Chelsea’s idea with these 7 + year deals for young players the plan is if they work out and stay at the club for 5 years they are still at a good age to then sell in the 6th year at pure profit whilst having 2yrs minimum left on contract and therefore still hopefully get a decent chunk of money back due to fees always slowly rising with inflation? I dare it would it apply if they just loan them out for 5 years for fees to various club also. The only risk is demotivation or career ending injury early into contract. The upside is less power for the agent to renegotiate and what I stated above.

This is the kind of out-of-the-box thinking we need.

If we really want him, just put in a 50m bid.

Tonali was untouchable and never going to happen until it did. Serie A sides don’t have much of a choice once the offer gets to a certain size.

City hoard via Multi-club ownership but it's not to the degree Chelsea do. This Chelsea stuff is unparalleled. They've always done it uner Roman but not to this extent.

Aye. I guess its similar to us with Isak, he isn't for sale, but if an insane offer came in we'd have to look at it.

Besiktas interested in Tammy Abraham. "We should be all over that!"

I got this as that they accept that our bid is fair given the recent injuries and unlikely to get more for him from anyone else this summer. BUT they think his real value to them is higher so long as he maintains fitness. therefore he isn’t a player that they can sell

This is what the transfer window is all about. These are the bits that are enjoyable.

The amount of made up lies in that thread has even exceeded their usual showing. What a bunch of sad cunts they are. As said by Wallsendmag above, the fuckers are absolutely broken since the takeover, and that's increasing rapidly

Caniggia at Dundee.

Why did I waste my time watching his highlight video?

NUFC: €40m for Scalvini Atalanta: fuck off and die, you absolute cunts. NUFC: €41m Atalanta:

So just to get this straight there's something wrong with people turning up at Newcastle Airport wearing a Newcastle top but if someone rocks up there in a Sunderland top then that's "classy"? They are utterly deranged. An absolute parody of a fanbase. Any slight rhyme, reason or ability to have any sort of rational thought with that lot disappeared on 7th October 2021 and it's never to return. They are too far gone now. Whilst it's funny for us and gives people a good laugh, and offers plenty of content for that Deluded World of RTG site on X, it's also pretty tragic really. Basically living their football supporting lives through another club. Whether it's a concert at SJP, seeing another human out and about in a NUFC top, worrying about Mags taking over areas that they believe more Sunderland fans should live in etc, it literally consumes their lives amd in such a negative way. Honestly if football made me feel like that I'd genuinely wrap it all in. There's just zero enjoyment in getting yourself so worked up about such trivial things. Football is supposed to be enjoyable, a bit of relief from everyday pressures. For them it just sends their blood pressure soaring further.

Nobody is unsellable realistically. Everyone has their price, this has been true in football since forever and I doubt that has changed. The question more is a team willing to pay what they want? If a club is saying a player is unsellable I'm gonna assume more often than not that it's just posturing.
