toontownman Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Don't believe for a second all of those 8 clubs have been through the monitoring stage. I think they should all go back to the beginning and start over. Cheats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 In another sign that the local journos don't know that much, Tagliafico's agent has confirmed we've been in discussions. It's hit a snag... “There was direct contact with Newcastle, but I see it as complex. I do not see that I can go further in England. “I do not like to generate expectations without much sense, there are other clear alternatives (one of Spanish football), but since they did not transcend the club we keep them in silence, there are three conversations we will see if they thrive and if they accept them independently.” Can't decipher if it's complex because of us (standard) or because of England and something to do with a permit.

timeEd32 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 From Douglas: A lot of people asking whether NUFC will do any business at all before Thursday’s deadline. Well the simple answer is it depends entirely on whether Newcastle can shift players out - and that’s because Newcastle’s wage budget is (from the club hierarchy’s perspective) too stretched. Talks back in the summer focused on how much Benitez would have at his disposal and it’s understood that a budget was spoken about over two seasons. Transfer fees were just one part of the budget discussed - the more important factor this summer has been wages. United haven’t been offering the same sort of wages as their Premier League rivals, which is one of the reasons why they’re not in the market for the sort of players we expected them to be. It’s also another reason why outgoings are so key: NUFC have a lot of players picking up big wages without doing much at the moment. My understanding is if Hanley goes - this joining Riviere and De Jong - it will free up something approaching £120,000-a-week from a wage budget which has expanded in the last year. That gives NUFC some freedom to bring in an extra player - so let’s see what happens now.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I actually wonder why suddenly all the media are talking about the wage limit like they knew it for a long time, but in fact none of them mention this during last few months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Tagliafico is definitely going to be the sort we don't sign, goes to a mid-table Serie A club for a couple of years, then signs for one of the top clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Should save some pretty significant wages if we have shifted Sels, Riviere, Colback, de Jong, Lazaar and Hanley by the end of the window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Knowing how Ashley works, those savings won't be realised until next years accounts so it'll make no difference to this years transfers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 My understanding is if Hanley goes - this joining Riviere and De Jong - it will free up something approaching £120,000-a-week from a wage budget which has expanded in the last year. That gives NUFC some freedom to bring in an extra player - so let’s see what happens now.... Eh? £120k a week and we can bring in one player? Would be amazed if we spent anywhere near that amount on one player, you'd expect we could bring in two or three with that. No chance we offer players anywhere near that.

We already brought in 6, that'll have bumped the wage budget up already. Probably needing to sell these players to balance out what we've already brought in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming if they thought it was too stretched we will only get 60k of that 120 back for a signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what our wage ceiling is. I'd guess about 70k/week so that would get us one pretty decent player and one average. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
