Dr Venkman Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Just playing devils advocate, there's been nothing to suggest that Rafa hasn't been in charge of incoming/outgoing decisions, purely that there was an issue over the amount he had to spend. If Gayle goes he'll be replaced imo. Makes sense, he doesn't really fit. Surely the two are inextricably linked? Certainly. But in the specific circumstance that you sell a first team regular, we've heard nothing (while Rafa's been here) that suggests it won't be Rafa's decision in order to upgrade him for a more suitable player. If it's just a money grab then I think he'll be off like everyone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention no income tax, so we'd have to go above and beyond on his wages. It's disappointing, but not one to freak out about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Can't wait for him to start well but then just be ditched for no clear reason when Dummett is back. This can't really be true, otherwise we wouldn't be buying him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 As if we'd be reckless enough to spend big money at the end of the transfer window. Loans and bargains only at this stage.

timeEd32 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 But while the transfer budget is small compared to other clubs in the top flight, Newcastle have spent around £40 million and Telegraph Sport understands there is still some money available. The stumbling point has been the size of the wage bill, with Ashley led to believe that far more players would leave this summer to make room for new arrivals. That has caused his lieutenant Justin Barnes, drafted into the club to help keep the club’s finances in order in case there was any interest in a takeover this summer, to keep a tight hold of the purse strings, frustrating both Benítez and managing director Lee Charnley. Newcastle, though, have struggled to find clubs willing to match their asking prices and pay the same wages the unwanted players currently earn at St James’ Park. That has created a log jam and means some targets have moved elsewhere. Hoping for two more in according to this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/08/29/newcastle-united-hoping-add-two-new-signings-squad-managerrafael/ Think we've given up on replacing Elliot, which is disappointing.

54 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/08/29/newcastle-united-hoping-add-two-new-signings-squad-managerrafael/ Newcastle United are still hoping to make another two signings before the close of the transfer window but will not do so unless they can sell players first. Newcastle’s transfer plans have been hampered all summer by the failure to sell the players manager Rafael Benítez was confident he would be able to offload after promotion. Benítez has been critical of owner Mike Ashley in recent weeks and hinted at broken promises when he was told he would receive every extra penny brought in by promotion back to the Premier League. But while the transfer budget is small compared to other clubs in the top flight, Newcastle have spent around £40 million and Telegraph Sport understands there is still some money available. The stumbling point has been the size of the wage bill, with Ashley led to believe that far more players would leave this summer to make room for new arrivals. That has caused his lieutenant Justin Barnes, drafted into the club to help keep the club’s finances in order in case there was any interest in a takeover this summer, to keep a tight hold of the purse strings, frustrating both Benítez and managing director Lee Charnley. Newcastle, though, have struggled to find clubs willing to match their asking prices and pay the same wages the unwanted players currently earn at St James’ Park. That has created a log jam and means some targets have moved elsewhere. The club are still hoping to make at least one more permanent signing and a loan deal before Thursday, but much depends on how many unwanted players they can get rid of. The good news for Benítez is that Grant Hanley is on the verge of joining Championship club Norwich City and midfielder Jack Colback is wanted by Hull City, albeit on loan. Full back Achraf Lazaar is another player who is expected to depart, with interest expressed from a number of clubs on the continent. If all three depart in the next 24 hours, that would give Benitez far more room manoeuvre in the final hours of the window. Newcastle could even be tempted to sell last season’s top goalscorer Dwight Gayle, although only if they know for certain that they can bring in a replacement. Gayle was left out of the matchday squad for the home victory over West Ham United last weekend. However, interest in Liverpool strikers Divock Origi and Danny Ings has not been followed after an initial approach was rebuffed by the Merseyside club.
