depends on what other offers were there,and how keane sold the club.

Which is about what you'd pay Ben Haim over a 5 year contract. Davies Fee: £8m Signing on fee £500k Wages: £25k x 5 years = £6.5m Total: £15m Ben Haim Fee: £0 Signing on fee : £2m Wages: £65k x 5 years = £16.9m Total: £18.9m All guess work, but in the end him at £65k pw isn't worth it imo. And after 2/3 years they would have revised contracts offered to prevent the spectre of a Bosman walk out a couple of years further down the line. Davies goes up to £35k (no problem), what the hell would Ben Haim be looking for?? The figures you came up with seem reasonable and the conclusion spot on! Seems about right imo, his contract would go up, but even with a steady £35k over the 5 years he's cheaper than Ben Haim at Chelsea's offer. The fact he's younger and English would also see Davies as a better buy for the club in the long term, Chelsea may come in for him at £30m with Ben Haim as part ex desperate for 1st team football So, end of the day, no real worry about losing out on Ben Haim at £65k, if that's what Chelsea are offering then he'll just be adding to the near £300m debt their in and rising. I think this is more to do with Pini Zihavi and his relationship with Abramovich than Ben Haim's footballing ability tbh. Ben Haim is a pretty good player for sure, but £65k?? That's a lot of money for someone of his ability. And if the Chelsea debt grows because of it, Abramovich isn't bothered, he can afford it. I think Newcastle would be well off without him tbh. forget what you thoght was a players worth,another explosion is happening in wages and transfer fees.

bent to w/ham £18mill nugent to mackems £6mill

why ? he's agreed temrs etc,not missing training or anything important,he's on holiday as he would have been if it had gone through and every week he stays on their books saves us £45,000 to £60,000,let it drag on till pre season training for all i care.

it will have no effect whatsoever

and 10am for whoever aske before

translation please

thanks...basically a rehash of the previous stuff with his agent saying he thinks his client is leaning towards sausage and saurkraut but the poster seems to think it is anagents ruse to force nufc's hand to get his client some beef ang yorkshire pud. i got the original from here.http://www.forumpsg.com/index.php?showtopic=2753&st=5320&start=5320

from a psg forum......looks like a quoted press release...translation please there is no cat and no table

no need to post that as it would apply to over 95% of posts on here.....98% of my own!

Which one are you? marc hottiger He's not really Marc Hottiger is he? Don't wind me up here course it is,why else would a swiss have an affinity for nufc ?

radio 5 is reporting that thaksin shawaddywaddy takeover is on the verge of collapse. wonder if ranson will step in ?

it does,he may be entering the last year of his contract,still seems low mind if he is all he is cracked up to be. He's still got 2 years left. hope thats on his contract

Which is probably why they've told us where to go with that offer. Probably just testing the waters, and we'll eventually pay the £3m or whatever they want. scary phrase where nufc is involved

this is newcastle united....it works the other way round.

When was this? havent heard anything and i've had it on most of the day and i've miffed girl 2 by putting ssn on,thus turning off the tweenies!....not happy i'll tell you.

aye,it says he doesn't like being called "roz"!

interesting that he say he's looking for a club in the championship.....is he knocking back the roda offer (if it was ever there in the first place)

the way things are shaping up right now that could well happen.

huddersfield....blame the strip mesel like (think it was black and red checks iirc)

if he is a free transfer (out of contract)would the fener chairman need to be told who the player is talking to? in this case he may be the last to know. I would have thought that as Fener will still be involved due to the fact they are holding his registration, then I guess he would know, yes. The fact that he specifically states two teams suggest that there has at least been dialogue between Fener and those two. i may be wrong but can't a player talk to who he wants without notifying his clubs in the last 6months of his contract ?

in the end it will be where the player wants to go.....not what the clubs agree between themselves.
