SUPERTOON

What others times have we been messed around ? I can’t remember any others.

Based on the clauses for Olise and Eze I think you may be right (about them wanting it upfront).

Shame every other club knows we do mind.

The issue isn’t only the price, we only have 2 weeks left, we can’t leave it much longer as we need time to get a replacement. Palace could continue to string us along up to the deadline.

25 million for Chalobah might be a decent deal tbh. Covers RB as well. Think he would thrive under Howe.

We are probably now seeing why no other club is in for him.

Howe hinted at walking away from deals that become too expensive, I suspect that may have happened here.

It does seem as though they are stringing us along.

Now we walk away then surely.

We did, although I don’t think we will score as many this season. Games last season were chaotic and led to some mental games. Ideally we have much more control this season.

Not sure he’s at his absolute peak, he’s only 24.

If it’s close, I just can’t see them risking missing out on 60 odd million for him to get injured.

At least we will know when the palace team is announced on Sunday, if not before.

Howe hinted he wont have a release clause next summer.

Cannot stand the term mood music.

Fair enough, personally I’ve just had enough of all the PSR talk. I’m excited by the fact we are trying to buy a top quality player and the footy being back tomorrow.

Just enjoy the fact we are trying to sign quality players, no need for fans to worry about FFP/PSR. Especially at this stage.

Would imagine this gets done now. Either way it will be our final offer imo.

No, but as soon as you go to make a transfer you have to transfer a Newcastle player out.

I think at this point he not only would bring quality and key attributes we don’t currently have, but also help build some momentum. That will be key in any top 4 push.

Big if that mind.

Shit ?

He has, but you can’t value someone on pre season. Look at Anderson last summer.
