Newcastle United transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

Not really, i have just seen him report loads of things and none of them have ended up being true. How people still listen to him i'll never know.

 

Anything he tweets belongs in the braindead thread.

 

Easy young fella :lol: only messing with you.

How Kieran Gibbs' move from Arsenal to Watford broke down over wages

 

It is understood Gibbs was unwilling to compromise on his £80,000-a-week wages despite being third choice at Arsenal

No wonder we werent interested (or went no further if we were)

 

That's ridiculous, its time for a salary cap and transfer cap.

f***ing wages in football are ridiculous :lol:

Absolutely. I do wonder whether this is a major obstacle for us too. Not just finding the bucks, but breaking the structure. If for example Shelvey is the top earner on £50k per week (not sure of source for this claim and figure) then there's zero chance we're bringing in a one-legged left back on 60% more. Might even scupper any 'star' signings if existing players have contract clauses linked to relative salary.

We'd have similar problems with Perez surely, I know he's a striker like but he'll be on canny money at Arsenal.

 

Guessing he would take a cut as he was interested in going back to deportivo, and they won't match whatever he is on at arsenal.

Not in any way excusing the lack of business done so far, but I am wondering whether Ashley and co think it's worth waiting until the end of the window to see if you can pick up some players from top 6 where the selling club subsidises the player's wages.  Probably quite likely that we will have to do the same to offload our crap.
