Just saw the lap of honour, Ayoze seemed emotional. Could he be leaving regardless of Rafa staying? The way he’s been playing lately it wouldn’t surprise me if a bigger club have made a bid.

Or a Spanish club. He may fancy a move back for personal reasons.

 

I can't see a bigger club here using him as anything but a squad player / impact sub. He's a canny finisher, but his all-round game has its weaknesses.

Had some around me in the strawberry corner who were apoplectic at him after his late misplaced pass :lol: Been immense for months and was good all game, yet still not enough

 

I wonder if his knowledge of the criticism of him in his years here has influenced his thinking in terms of leaving? He's obviously aware of it displayed by his goal celebration.

Ayoze loves being at Newcastle but his recent level of performance will have given him new, and very good, options should he wish to take them.

The club has to now convince him his future, and what he aspires to, remains here.

Eventually everyone moves on in football, but Ayoze has become connected to the club and region.

He may well fancy a move to play in the Spanish league but has Pérez ever even lived on mainland Spain? Tenerife is around 2000 km from mainland Spain. Someone from Gibraltar moving to England is less distance than someone from Tenerife moving to Spain.

More cultural ties than anything. Food is way better in Spain for one.

:)  Yes, Newcastle is closer to Madrid and Barcelona than Ayoze's home is, although in fairness most people in his home town do support one of those two.

If he goes for Gini / Moussa money abroad then all good to me. ESP to a team like Inter or Napoli or a proper team in Spain. Ill  miss him and wish he’ll end up staying under Rafa.

I thought I was ready for him to go, but the revelation that he has a buyout clause means he is gone. 25m is beans these days, and we'll struggle to replace him.

 

Of course, it's another nod towards Rafa's departure...

Sure, he's been decent for us for half of the season but I can't for the life of me see the likes of Napoli being interested.  If he want's CL some club like Sporting Lisbon or Braga I could see.

 

Happy to be proved massively wrong, like :lol: Take the money and get Rondon sorted ffs

I really like Perez - however if we had an owner that would reinvest I would say this is the perfect time to cash in while he's on such a hot streak - however just like any transfer dealing involving NUFC it's always Catch-22.

I know we can't do much if his heart is set on finding a new challenge but if Rafa's staying I'd much rather we kept him. If we sell him for £25m the buying club'll be allowed to spread the fee over something like 5 years by the cunts above the manager. There you go Rafa, an extra £5m to your WAR CHEST to have us prepare a bid and ultimately fail to get someone nowhere near as good for ≤£10m.

Imagine if he performed as he has the second half of this and last season for an entire season!

Second half of this season he's not only showed to us again that he can score, but some of the stuff he's been pulling off has been incredible. That shuffle inside Liverpools 6 yard box f.ex :drool: I was sitting in my chair giggling like a little girl. He seems stronger and faster than he's ever been. Not sure if it's just clouded perception due to feeling better about him than during the first half of the season, or if he's simply improve massively the last year not only technically but also mentally and physically?

 

We'd be stupid to let him go in the summer. If we can get 2nd half season Ayoze over a full season, £25m or whatever is talked about is not enough to replace never mind improve on him.
