We've just finished 2nd in the points table for the final 3/4 of the season with a relatively weak squad. We can still compete whilst not being classless. Some things are more important.

They'll then use that money to sign Elanga probably.

If they beat us to Pedro, we’ll take Madueke at a cut-rate price thanks.

Surely a better team would have taken a punt on him at that price? Even being older than he is, he would be a better option to bring off the bench than Callum done more work for DAZN than he has for Newcastle in the last year fucking Wilson.

The very first case in football history of a club accepting the initial offer .

If you think we're going to compete with the best by following the rules then...

Why would I care about Villa?

But Villa getting £70M from them is fair game right

At what point do we walk away due to Man City getting their slice?

That'd be classless af and arguably as detestable as the Ashley years if we ever go down that route.

Given Jamie Reuben is good friends with Tod Boehly I'm not sure that tactic would get very far.

I think they just rate our transfer business over the last couple of years so figure any player we have targeted must be worth having.

Would make sense with how much he has dropped off to be fair

Also doubling the clicks on a no news weekend.

Very risky signing for the amount of money they are paying. As already mentioned above, they are still one player down from last season (Watson) and about 15 million down on player transfers (Paid out: Le Fee + Bellingham payment to Birmingham + Diarra - Paid in: Bellingham + Watson). I'm certainly not sure that is smart business at all.

I was thinking that but now The Athletic is reporting it it's probably true

I think so. Some family member claimed that he was actually 5 years older iirc. I don't think it was ever concluded though.

Chelsea’s approach is likely motivated in large part by stopping us from strengthening. We’re one of their closest rivals now and they’ll be terrified of us overtaking them so either taking our targets or driving up the fee for us is dreamland for them

I'm not convinced Chelsea are after him, think it's Brighton trying to drive his price up

Is he one that is potentially older than they think he is? Hence why he was so good at junior level because he was actually a few years older

Wew. Another “out of the blue” transfer!

This summer, man.....
