Joe_F Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 As if we’d spend a net £72m this summer It's not about the figure anyway. It's whether Ashley will give Rafa full control of transfers and allow him to buy players with no sell-on value. Which the article doesn't address.

sempuki Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Keith Downie will never live this down if he's got this spectacularly wrong. Does sound positive but I'm sick of waiting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_F Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 He's tweeted that he hadn't said anything, in that podcast, which is new. Which is bollocks. Feels like he was just spouting off with out any real info to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest covmag Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Rafa would have an indication that this would be bollocks and would have fucked off it all by now, i think he will carry on, 3 year deal and it will be next week. i'm believing 99% now RAFA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdm Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Mirror reporting Rafa turned down Real Betis. Get the feeling he really wants to stay. If Ashley compromises enough he’ll sign Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Glad to be hearing that things are supposedly on the right lines but there's still plenty of time for it to veer horribly and irreparably off course. Turning down the likes of Roma, Marseille and Betis is what gives me the most optimism that he'll stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1tche Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 For me the longer it goes on the better, I feel it just means they are sorting out the details of the deal.

Shelveys Hair Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 For me the longer it goes on the better, I feel it just means they are sorting out the details of the deal.

Rafa might still sign.. but Ashley has took the piss again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafa might still sign.. but Ashley has took the piss again. I agree with this, I meant just on the Rafa staying front to be honest, which to me is 100% the most important signing this summer, so if it takes slightly longer then so be it. At a normal club he would have signed right after the last game and got straight to business strengthening the side over the summer, but this is Newcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
