I like him but they are an absolutely idiotic club, they have zero vision at all and will continue to achieve fuck all other than losing money and bringing through good academy players

The one thing they don't need is an attacking central midfielder

Some absolute card merchants moving the old PL this week.

That picture they used man 

 

Even he's perplexed by what Chelsea are doing!

[RobsonsWonderland]

Can we not just have another thread for Chelsea's transfers...

 

On a positive note they may run out players to buy before they run out of ways to get around the system.

 

Christ maybe that is their goal buy everyone and just leave us with Miggy

West Ham in talks with Ngolo Kante.

 

Everton pieing off Beto already.

Shouldn't been sacked off, but Man Utd kept him around for one of two things. To get him back into the team (backfired last summer), 2nd, make as much money as possible. 

 

Scum levels.

He was never going to play for Man Utd again and they had a chance to sack him and get some goodwill from the entire football world, but they decided to keep him around in the hope to sell him on despite the overwhelming evidence. I'd say Man Utd handled this about 65-70% as bad as the sunderland / Adam Johnson situation.

You were criticising us last week for only offering £50m for a 22 year old with 40 games under his belt.

 

Yoro is 3-4 years younger and is £42m + add ons. 

 

 

The Athletic article on the Yoro signing has dropped. As expected, reads like the same old Man Utd to me.

 

The fee is actually £52 million rising to £59 million!!!

 

Liverpool, PSG and Real Madrid all fell back due to the money being so much.

 

Was being suggested/threatened to Yoro that he would not be played the upcoming season if he didn't accept the Man Utd move, and waited to move to Real on a free, as was his original plan.

 

Be very interesting to see how this all plays out next season for him.

Man Utds new £50 million hard man center half.

 

Or a young skinny Cleveland from Family Guy

 

He looks like a cross between Richard Pryor, one of the members of 3T and Hank Worden who played the senile waiter in the original Twin Peaks series.

It's called the twitter bullshit thread

Few on here kidding themselves me thinks, if we’d signed Zirkzee and Yoro we’d be fucking buzzing.

 

They’re getting it right signing young hungry players unfortunately and have the finances to take gambles unlike us.

Depends on the fit. 

 

We're not in a position to be spending £50 million plus on an understudy for Schar, we'd probably feel obliged to start him at the price. By all accounts he's very talented, but still has a lot to learn 

 

I've seen more of Zirkzee, really interested to see how he gets on. Looks a good footballer, but not an out and out goalscorer. He'd definitely offer us another dimension off the bench but we'd need to upgrade Almiron to get the best from him.

Kante going to West fucking Ham would be so

Yoro is going to play. 

 

Hate all this chat of how Newcastle aren't in the position to do this and that as well. You've already spent £65m on understudy full backs have you not? 

 

We have to sell the same as you and are still dangerously close to breaching PSR. Greenwood, Kambwala, Van De Beek and Fernandez have all been sold and with Casemiro likely to follow. Listening to offers for McTominay as well.

Same stuff was being said on here when Chelsea were spending a billion.

 

I'm far from convinced with their approach, so we'll see what happens.

I'll bite.

 

Your commercial revenue far exceeds our own. We're hamstring because PSR is preventing us from growing, as opposed to poor spending and an enormous wage bill.

 

Yes, last season we spent circa £30-£35 million on full backs who weren't instant starters, but it's not £100 million and I can guarantee their wages won't be as high.

 

Don't get me wrong, if Yoro fulfills his potential he'll be far better than Schar, but it sounds like he'll need to time and patience to develop and play through his errors.

What approach KaKa? Signing young but established players in positions we're short in?

But again, Yoro won't be coming in to sit on the bench like Hall has. He'll be starting. 

 

Official fees say we've signed Zirkzee and Yoro for €104.5m+€8m in add ons. 

 

We've sold Greenwood, Kambwala, Fernandez and Van de Beek for €42.5m with €26m in potential add ons, plus extremely high sell on clauses and buy back clauses for everyone except Van De Beek. 

 

So our net spend is about £50m at the minute and we've signed two exciting, young but already established players. With these sales and the releases of Martial and Varane, that's £40m a year in saved wages as well.

 

If people are trying to suggest this is anything other than good business, they're beyond delusional.

I agree, it is actually very good business. Annoyingly 

 

One huge saving grace for last year was the emergence of Garnacho and Mainoo, two 60M+ starters now - from the academy. There would have been much more rebuilding to do had they not come through when they did

You're misrepresentating my original point though.

 

I was responding to a post about whether these signings would be a good fit for Newcastle. At this moment in time, given our overall squad needs, along with the prices and wages involved, they'd be non-starters. It wasn't a comment about Man United.
