timeEd32 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Indeed according to this. The man's tightness is costing the club dearly... https://www.themag.co.uk/2018/01/wage-constraints-may-hampering-newcastle-united-transfer-market/ Only had time to skim this - what am I missing here? This seems like a pseudo wage cap that would also make it really difficult for a club to invest heavily all of a sudden (e.g. if a takeover were to occur).

Dokko Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 £10m for a 35 year old keeper? Aye that’s going to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 'Newcastle have roughly £10million to invest on a keeper and £100,000-a-week wages to offer the right scorer.' Righto. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 It’s laughable but if it did happen then we’d be safe and probably finish somewhere in mid table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Once Rafa has decided he rates someone he seems persistent in following his interest. If Shearer was right about the close season pursuit of Hernández and he's available now, given our evident need for a goal scorer and West Ham not being keen, he could be a solution. Would be fun coming up with some kind of Santiago Munez chant as well! Some blurb from Wiki, on playing style: 'A clinical goalscorer, Hernández has been described as a "goal-poacher"... His movement off the ball, pace, and ability to find space inside the box has also been praised... Rudi Völler, sporting director of Bayer Leverkusen, has praised Hernández for his keen positioning in front of goal, saying: "he certainly doesn’t win every tackle but he has an incredible sense of where the ball will end up". Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson described Hernández as two-footed, very quick, in possession of a good spring, and a natural goalscorer. Ferguson also said Hernández's style reminds him of former United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjær... Hernández's former teammate Jesús Padilla described him as "amazing in the air" despite his height. Due to his small stature, he is extremely quick and agile, also possessing good technique.' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 When the hell did we last pay £100,000 a week wages to anybody? It probably got lost in translation and supposed to say we’ve got £100,000 to spend on a striker. Owen's probably the only player in our history to get anywhere near.

Ridiculous if people are fine with Elliott and darlow. In fairness it’s probably from a mindset that we’ve little to no money to spend so of all the positions GK falls behind a 9,10 and possibly even a 4. That and Reina is way past his best.
