NG32 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Stop buying crap players from agents spreadsheets and being forced into giving them the going rate. Actually source a better grade of player then they will probably increase in value and turn a profit for the club. If you want to follow Ashley's knock down vision of NUFC.

Deuce Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Don't be shocked to see Riviere turn down the move once wages are discussed. He can get in the sea in that case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I really hope the club start offering a basic salary more dependent on whether the player is in the 25 man squad. Given the extra money in the PL, offloading surplus players is only going to get worse in time. The amount of money our out of squad players are on probably works out to 10-15 million a year. When no top player's agent accepts these terms will you complain that we have no quality in the squad? It's always going to be a Catch 22 situation. I'd personally gamble on a smaller squad all round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems we always end up going for those 3rd or 4th down the list because they are cheaper, and then we are stuck with them because it turns out they are shit.

ponsaelius Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 No he's not. He's not moving unless they can get a genuine replacement. There might be movement now, but it was always gonna be on ice during the CL qualifiers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year of his contract and they're having problems agreeing a new deal. Plus he had a bit of bother with the club President when he said something about Reina's wife at a club dinner or something.

ponsaelius Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 There's a difference between not renewing his contract, as De Laurentiis has said, and selling him right now. Their backups are poor, and he's cruicial to the way they play from the back. Selling him without a replacement would be sabotaging a potential title challenge.

Some would go for it, players like Riviere and Colback were making a big step up joining newcastle, so they would likely be more willing to accept a deal like this.

Riviere didn't think so if you do your research. Colback neither by forcing an extra £5k on his weekly when threatening to go to West Ham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Carvalho would go against everything we know about Ashley. (from his interview, to the fact he doesn't go into a bidding war with a Premier League club very often, to the fee, the wages....) Young I could possibly see. He'd get about £50-60k tops these days at another club which is our upper limits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
