Aye, we would have to do a loan with obligation to utilise it.

Not done yet: Lloyd Kelly theme. Contacts between Juventus and Newcastle have resumed to resolve the gap on payment terms. The private flight booked for the English defender has been delayed by a few hours. The deal is not yet 100% closed despite the verbal agreement reached between the clubs yesterday evening

Aye, I’m not a massive fan of any of their deals tbh, however Ramsey, Watkins, Rodger’s, Rashford and Asensio, Malen and Bailey gives them depth we can only dream about.

Yeah, you and a lot of others on here know a lot more about FFP/PSR than me, but based on the figures out the other day, they seem fucked. Not sure how they can afford this.

Hope not, he absolutely smashed it for 5 months after a January loan deal.

December seems a strange time for a contract to expire ?

How could you forget Ruddy ?

He is, but still to play him in those 3 games without much break in between

I’d be amazed.

And Howe’s as well tbf. Him putting Botman in for those 3 games in a week after a long lay off was very telling imo.

Our summer window really was horrendous mind, wasn’t it.

That’s harsh

Don’t think we will bring anyone in still, however I think it does open up the possibility of a loan deal for us if any are available.

Sign of things to come hopefully.

Decent fee, signs we have learned lessons in the market and taking good deals when we can? Don’t think we sign anyone still.

We aren’t in the champions league.

Don’t think we can lay much if any blame at his door. This summer is massive though.

Think people are just taking their PSR frustrations out on the easiest choice tbh.

Bit unfair. I’d take 18 million mind.

I think so.

We definitely still rely too much on athleticism to win games (obvious when we haven’t been able to improve the team). We really need to try move away from this whenever we next manage to make signings imo.

The failure to improve the team for the last 3 windows is the main issue. Our bench options are genuinely terrible.

Unless we have a decent budget in the summer, Europe would cripple us anyway.
