Newcastle United transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

Yeah not too bothered about the £10 price tag, they paid a lot for him, hasn't done too bad when given a run in the Premiership, when you factor in the "English tax" it is about standard. I would rather £10m on him that £10-£12m on McCormack.

 

If we get him and keep the other strikers I would be happy with that.

 

Just hope Gayle coming doesn't mean Townsend going :(

Matt Ritchie incoming according to a broon sauce so Townsend must be away

 

Can't remember much of him from last season, but from watching some clips just now it seems he's a left footed player that likes to come in from the right side, much like Townsend, so a likely replacement yeah.

 

Had a really good record of goals and assists in the championship so fair enough. His set pieces look really good in that clip too, which would be a nice bonus.

Gayle has a pretty good PL goals/minute ratio iirc.

 

Correct.  It's the whole Ben Arfa argument again.  On first viewing, his stats weren't all that impressive.  Then you go into more detail and for minutes played, converted to full games, he was probably our best offensive player. 

 

If you do the same as people did for HBA.  I think Gayle is about 1 in 2, over the last 3 seasons or so.

The Matt Ritchie deal is a strange one if its true.

 

He would be a great addition, but he was a regular for Bournemouth last season, and they rejected a big bid from West Ham a few weeks back. Him signing for us makes no sense.

£25m on three players in The Championship. :lol:

 

Imagine the reaction of the mackems if we spend that.

 

they'll be writing to the FA demanding an investigation into us regarding FFP. ;D

How does this FFP work in the Championship?

The same as it does anywhere. You can't spend beyond your means.
