TRon Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Would feel somewhat underwhelmed if it's Gameiro really. Was hoping Rafa had a rabbit under his hat. Does Gameiro still have the pace? Not seen him play for years. He's literally the best striker we could realistically get at this stage IMO This stage is probably the worst one for someone like him to come into tbh. Unknown quantity in English football and would have to hit the ground running. Bringing him in the summer would have been a much better idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Holy shit, are we actually getting a £20m striker? I was all prepared for the usual transfer letdown :lol: Errr..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Would Rafa have known Mariano Diaz from his time at Real? Doing really well at Lyon this season. Yes but I'd be amazed if OL didn't want to let his value appreciate some more. They rarely sell cheap. Missed the boat in the summer on that one. Yeah, seems Lyon got a great deal on him last summer. Ironically, I just found an article that linked Diaz with us as a throw in when real wanted Sissoko. Ouch. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-united-offered-two-real-11692635 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Seems first bid has been rejected according to the chronicle Link? Just says bid rejected in the headline for the live article. No mention of it elsewhere or even on twitter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 There is nothing in there that states a bit has been rejected. No-One else is reporting it, so I'm just going to assume they've fuck up tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just him needing to shit over anything that might be a positive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonjam88 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 They did mention a £13 million bid had been turned down but has now been removed. Would be fucking typical for newcastle to bid £7 million under the price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 It would be pretty daft to assume we are going to be able to do a great deal in the January window, that's why it's always better to do your business in the summer. Now we aren't in a position of strength to negotiate, just have to stump up or go down. It's as simple as that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianovthetoon Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 For no reason whatsoever I think it’s Batushyai. There haven’t been massive rumours about him being available would make sense if Chelsea are sourcing alternatives as well..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'll turn my nose up at that. I'd much rather him on the end of the chances we create than Joselu. Granted 20 mil is a lot of money but that's just how it is now.

I think Rafa would more likely go with the pragmatic view of we will make do with and put faith in what we have got, come the end of the window - rather than theorising that 'x' amount must be spent in order to stay up; as it's unfortunately never that simple - we know that all to well... What was it, £80+ million outlay the season we went down? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
