Stifler Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Just now, Gawalls said: Agreed- everyone’s trying to sell on old prices a few years ago but trying to buy to keep in line with PSR. It’s not sustainable and something needs to give eventually. If we have another January, and another summer window of a lack of sales, then PSR and UEFA’s FFP will go. Even the media will turn against it, as it’s depriving them of sales and clicks. Sky Sports for example won’t be happy because last January, their biggest transfer story on deadline day was Lewis Hamilton switching manufacturer. Sky pay the Premier League, and to a lesser extent the EFL, and SPFL a fortune, and if the period of speculation is over, then they will not be happy.

Tsunami Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 We’ve got to be pretty ruthless in our business and if that includes “reasonable” sweeteners to make it happen, so be it. Miggy and Targett really need moved on somehow and as for Isaac Hayden, I mean, good luck to him but, jeez, that contract he’s got. We need to get ahead of the game with PSR and know where we’ll be in any 12 month period (or more). We can’t be left in another situation where we’re touting players we’d rather keep in a come and get ‘em frenzy to meet requirements. Easy to say, very hard to do.

He had a knee injury and then had to have it cleaned up as there were still bits of cartilage floating around in there, seemed to have knocked his career for 6.

Yeah, I didn't see the logic of leaving Hayden out of the squad in favor of a 5th keeper. Even if he's basically crap, you'd think a backup DM would be more useful and there are times when you might have him on the bench depending on injuries and suspensions. Whereas there is truly no point in carrying 5 keepers on the 25-man squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloGeordio Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Miguel Almiron is set to bring his Newcastle nightmare to an end after an ex- Premier League winner confirmed talks for the winger. The Paraguayan’s opportunities have dried up at St James’ Park this season. He has made just one Premier League start this season and has just 18 months remaining on his deal. Newcastle have been trying to move on the 30-year-old in order to make space in their squad. And it now appears that a deal has been struck. According to The Sun 😁 MLS side Charlotte FC have agreed a £16m deal for Almiron. The Paraguayan was linked with the club in the summer but saw a move collapse. Former Premier League winner, Christian Fuchs , who is an assistant to Dean Smith with the American side, has already confirmed ongoing discussions. As quoted by Sky Sports, he said: “He’s a great player but I don’t really want to talk about him as he hasn’t signed yet. “There are always a lot of names being associated with Charlotte FC and all I know is that once it is signed, Almiron will be a great addition to our club and I would really look forward to him joining us and playing for us. “We are very ambitious, coming up into our fourth year and it has been a steady progression within the club, within the MLS and we are really looking forward to getting going again. We are coming back on January 12th, going into pre season, and it is going to be a great season ahead.” Almiron joined Newcastle from Atlanta United in 2019 for a then club record £21m. He has since made 219 appearances in all competitions, scoring 30 goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) I know the lad is officially frozen out, a bit shit, and not getting any younger, but he was a significant part of the team that qualified for the CL not that long ago. I don't think the numbers being talked about are crazy. Relatively speaking. Spoiler Edited January 2 by SEMTEX Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamPS Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 The Athletic said he failed to agree personal terms in the summer, which sounds more likely than it being the transfer fee. 16m sounds more like the total outlay for Charlotte including wages, don’t they tend to describe deals in those terms in American sports? That probably ends up being something like £10m in Miggys pocket over his 3/4 year contract and £6m to the club as a transfer fee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
