Delima Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Would you have bought Phil Jones for 20M or Chris Smalling for 10M before their transfer to Manchester United, were you Newcastle United manager ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Phil Jones looks the better player and it is a fantasy thread so I'd chuck £20m at him. Then because it's a fantasy I'd chuck £20m at Smalling for good measure. Smalling was not on a contract at Maidstone (as it would have prohibited him from playing for England Schoolboys), and as such the Isthmian League club were not entitled to a fee for the player, however Fulham struck a deal which saw Maidstone given £10,000 upon the transfer and £10,000 for every ten league games he played Heck, if this is a fantasy I'd have been happy to give Maidstone £30m to nip in ahead of 'boro and Fulham.

johnnypd Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Smalling is still a work in progress. there's some talent there but i think he's 2 or 3 years from fulfilling it. Jones on the other hand looks like he could play centre-half for england tomorrow - massive talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
teohgk Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Newcastle United ? 20m/10m for a player ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 We are not a club willing to take a reckless approach and permit spending beyond our means, the result of which can be crippling at best and bankruptcy at worst. Instead we have a realistic view of what we can achieve at Newcastle and how quickly we can achieve it. THE days of Newcastle United acquiring trophy signings who command huge salaries for past successes on the pitch are over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimplyAnth Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Don't like this thread. But Jones probably, or maybe Smalling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
