Jamaal Lascelles

[ToonTastic]

There was stuff mentioned last week that Rafa had requested a new contract for Jamaal even though he had only recently signed one. He sees it as supporting the players when they improve. They get better he backs them to get more from their deal. I do wonder if this has something to do with agents trying to force the clubs hand. Show a willingness to stay by signing a new contract as well as the club showing they want to keep you by offering it. We'll see I guess. Either way £20m is embarrassing and insulting to the player.

I have faith we’ll turn down big fees, the fear is I’m guessing he’s on about £70-80k a week here, if West Ham are offering £100-125k a week, I doubt we’re going to match it. That’s where his agent will be pulling at him.

London has a massive pull on players decisions, not all players but it does have a big pull.  Hence why some Northern clubs have to payer a high a wage to attract players.

 

Bollocks. London clubs pay more seeing as it costs 2 grand a month to live in a shed, here.

If you're on £80k/w+ I don't think you're really sweating over living expenses

Foreign players mostly, as they have more amenities available, don't think British players are as bothered.

People say this, but the more you earn the more expensive life gets mate.

Way to low offer, but I understand why they are testing the water, Ashley might accept something like 30-35 for him, buy cheap, sell high. Textbook.

Which toe do they want for £20m?

He sold Andy Carroll before all the top flight money for that much. No chance he'd sell that cheap. He may be happy to sell players (though to be fair usually only when we get relegated) but he tends to get their true worth for them.

How long do you think they stayed on the phone for, while our lot were pissing themselfs laughing down it

I think plenty of British players are bothered, but I think it's more the ones who have never spent more than 10 minutes in Newcastle that just assume it's a barren wasteland full of dole monkeys and bh home bargains's's. Basically they think the North is just an array of Sunderlands.

Apart from when Kinnear accidentally sold Cabaye too cheaply

Hahaha I forgot about that deal

What's Pellegrini meant to be like as a manager? Can't imagine (biased obv) someone wanting to leave Rafa for anyone but one of the top 3 in the world no matter the geography.

I really don't agree, most Brits from other parts of the country see Newcastle as the premier northern city, the sunderlands and middlesbroughs are like the bogs and marshes on the way. Or maybe that's just my perception, I always thought we were a little bit special and everyone else saw us like Kevin Keegan did.

He did great when managing Málaga and Villarreal, but struggled at really big clubs like Madrid or City. I'm not sure what went wrong for him at City (although he did win stuff), but at Madrid he just couldn't handle the politics. He's very tactically-minded - he's not called "the engineer" for nowt - but I don't mean that as an euphemism for "defensive", his teams always had a fair bit of flair. Think of him as a less extreme, non-insane, version of Bielsa.

I mean, not to be harsh, but I think this is one of the reasons for the deluded geordie stereotype. I don't believe people who have spent little time up here think that Newcastle is special in any way. It's just a norvern town really far away from everything. Especially for those who were born in London.

Replies to that tweet, asking @Skysports_Keith to confirm it. 

 

Ryder will be spitting his dummy again.

It’d be typical of Ashley to sell one of our best players for far less than what he’s worth.

I get the bit about Ashley selling anything if he gets the price he wants, but not about selling for less than something's worth. It's not one of his obvious traits.
