NUFC transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

Aye, David Prutton.  But I don't remember Jenas the same, £5m was a lot to pay for an 18 year old with less than 30 appearances under his belt in that case.

It was a totally out of the blue transfer, no one expected it and it certainly wasn't talked about in advance. He was the exact opposite of this kid Hughes at Derby really.

Nottingham Forest have accepted a £5m offer for Jermaine Jenas from Newcastle United.

 

A fortnight ago Newcastle had a £4m offer for the 18-year-old midfielder rejected by Forest, who have serious financial problems.

 

:dontknow:

 

:lol: the season we signed him was literally his first as an established player in the first 11 (2 appearances the season before) and he made 31 appearances that season before we bought him in February

 

don't think he'd even played for the england U21's before he signed for us, could be wrong

TOON FEAR INGS REJECTION

 

Newcastle United fear long-term target Danny Ings will snub them in favour of a move to a 'bigger' Premier League club, report the Chronicle.

 

The 22-year-old Burnley striker has been heavily linked with a move to St James' Park, but Manchester United and Liverpool are also thought to be interested in the England U21 frontman.

 

David Moyes' Real Sociedad have also expressed an interest in Ings, but Burnley are thought to prefer a move to an English club in order to claim compensation from an enforced sale.

Absolutely no relevance whatsoever whether Burnley would prefer him to go to an English club.

He could probably go to a top 4 club purely based upon the fact he's English. Then spend the next 4 years making huge amounts of money and playing 0 games of football. It's just what you dream of as a lad.

Unfortunately the new TV deal pushed up his wages to beyond what we could afford as a financially prudent club. It'd have been irresponsible for us to push this over the line with light of what has happened to clubs previously. Magic weekend tickets are still on sale from the box office.

I think they may have a harder time attracting those players who want to use us as a platform to prove themselves before moving on to bigger clubs.  To do that you need a decent team to play in not one that is going to constantly struggle against relegation. 

 

We had a good reputation when Cabaye was here because of his success - I think that is in tatters now and that has been the club's own doing.

this 100% nobody of any quality will be coming here except as a quick stepping stone to any club with ambition... we of course have none at all :(

Will be surprised if bigger clubs want Ings. Don't rate him that highly.

 

Depends how you define " bigger " can definitely Southampton being in for him and as of right now that's a more attractive destination tbh.

 

Especially given he supports them...

Aye - bit of a no-brainer that.

Never get the, "no players will want to join us", banta. We have proved time and time again that we can attract decent players.

 

It's what we do when they get here that is the problem and having no ambition to keep them.

Oh they do but if other clubs offer more money and show more ambition it's a different story. Most of the players we get are under the radar of most Premier League clubs or are deemed not good enough for the top 4 to take a risk on.

You just have to look at the likes of Remy, Bony, Gomis, to see there's a few we probably thought we'd get easily, only to go to clubs around or beneath us as well.
