Newcastle United transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

Do The Chronicle ever report their own transfer stories these days? Most of them seem to just be what they see in the press themselves.

Frank Acheampong looks like a cracking winger. Seems tidy, very direct, great pace/acceleration, good cross on him and even helps out defensively too. Think he'd be a very good addition, seeing we've been linked recently.

Carvalho is one i could actually see tbh, he's another one who was hyped as a youth and while talented he's stagnated to the point the CL clubs are no longer interested.

 

The exact type of profile we should be looking to pursue.

 

He's been linked with big clubs for 3 seasons now and never moved, £38 million seems far to much

 

He won't cost anyway near that much, the fact he's been linked with big clubs for years and shows no signs of actually going means his stock is dropping.

 

If he is sold I'll be shocked if he goes for more than 20.

Silly season well and truly under way.  We'll get the players we need but won't be the names that agents are pushing out to so called journalists.

I'm enjoying all the stories, it's good to be back having all this around, much more enjoyable than nobody being linked and no sign of signing anyone either. Bring it all on.

Laughed at for saying Rafa would be interested in the likes of Lacazette a few months ago. Check the f***ing links on this page and absolute creaming going on now.

 

Creaming? [emoji38]

 

Think you might be overdoing it a tad tbh.

Fair enough. It's an interesting leap that the board has seemingly made, last week was all Andre Gray for £10m would be decent. Today we're on about Man City's quality striker or players that have been sold for £40m plus recently.

 

 

 

I think some of the players linked are realistic tbh. The likes of Iheanacho would cost about £25m which isn't that steep in today's market. It's the sort of quality of player I would expect Rafa to want here. If we went after Andre Gray it's not because he's £10m, it will be because Rafa rates him. He's going to have a lot more say than previous yes men that the board appointed.

Agreed it's full on silly season but this is also the first time in god knows how long that we have a man in charge who is a big enough draw to attract these players.

It's quite enjoyable compared to previous years.. no harm getting into all the stupid speculation.

 

Wages shouldn't be a problem when it does come to the bigger names though.. Coloccini was on over 80k which Mike was happy to pay and that was a few years ago.. 100k for an experienced top player is the going rate nowadays.

The Chronicle is absolute shite these days, every page takes ages to load. Especially when they do a time line for the day, I can never find the headline I clicked on.

 

Was it better under Oliver?

It was a different era, the Ronny Gill was our sole source in many respects for NUFC information back then. I'm sure Oliver wouldn't have had any say into the look and feel of the web site, as I'm pretty confident the current group of Jornos don't. Oliver was Shephard's mouth piece, if you read it on the chronicle it was probably pretty close to the truth if it were under Oliver's name. That wasn't necessarily a good thing though.

Remember buying the Journal, Chronicle, The Pink etc. and scouring for all rumours. Information overload these days.

Most of it is made up shit, I rarely take the slightest bit of notice of any of them and while some people like the rumors, I hate them.  The Chronicle are as bad as any other source these days and seem to go looking for anything to fill space.

Agree - can't think of a reliable source.

Really hope we don't go for him. For some reason Hull's players seem to have all got enhanced reputations after they went on a half decent run and that's being kind. Would rather avoid players from any of the relegated teams tbh.
