Newcastle manager Alan Pardew on the club's lack of activity during the summer transfer window: "I'll standby on what I said on the eve and after the Fulham game that we wanted one more offensive player.

 

"Although we spent £30m in the January window and perhaps a marquee signing would have put us into our overdraft - which it would have for sure - I felt the fans wanted that.

 

"I think it would have been good for mentality if we could have got that player."

 

£30m in January? Were we paying wages up front for the players like? And I don't believe for one second that we couldn't afford £10m this summer. The lies are just infuriating.

 

Overdraft?! Lol

 

Cant buy any tabs this week marra, totally in my overdraft

How anyone can even defend this snake-oil salesman anymore is baffling. He's lost any credibility he had about the window with those quotes. Thanks for patronising us, telling us we had unrealistic expectations, telling the world we wanted to plunge the club into "overdraft" for a "marquee" signing. Yes, that's what we've been crying out for, a marquee signing. Not how we've seen the squad stripped and depleted and simply have been asking for more numbers to account for injuries and suspensions, no.

 

I wanna kick something really hard.

Fuck off man. Just fuck off talking about the transfer window now. It was shit, and they talk shit about it. Can we just leave it at that. I can't be fucked hearing any more of the bullshit connected to it.

 

We didnt spend anything close to £30m in January for goodness sake, not that it should have any relevance anyway.

From values taken from transferleague.co.uk (they seem accurate from what I can recall)

 

Debuchy £5.5m

Yanga-Mbiwa £6.7m

Haidara £2m

Sissoko £2.5m

Gouffran £1.2m

 

Total of £17.9m and we also sold Ba for £7m...

 

Where did he even get £30m from? Why don't journos pull him up on his figures? Fucking hate Pardew.

Fucking overdraft, man. :lol:

 

The fees can be a killer TBF, something like £30 from Barclays. Last thing you need when you have a Direct Debit coming out.

 

I hadn't considered that.

 

Very prudent, Alan. Well played. Can I touch your bum, etc. :thup: :thup: :thup:

We always add the cost of the wages to the fee since this regime came in. Although they seem to forget that matchday income probably covers a fair bit of that.

And also conveniently ignore the wages of players that leave in their calculations

Even if you take a reasonable estimate of the extra wages that we paid for the six months that those players were here, it only comes to around £6m. Basically there is no way we came close to £30m, even including wages. We're only at £17m including wages so even if you throw in some crazy agent fees, we're still only at £20m. If we didn't get the whole Ba fee, maybe we're at £23m but then you gotta take away the wages we didn't pay Debuchy because we signed him six months later and all in all, we're nowhere near £30m.

Yeah haha - it doesn't make a lot of sense since the contracts may be worth up to £12m but that is over multiple years so we didn't spend £30m in January.
