Joelinton: suspended for Ipswich, not Brentford

Only Isak and Bruno are a level above him in our squad , we shouldn't be letting our best players leave due to a contract dispute if we want to progress . We would need to spend Tonali type of money to replace him and is no guarantee whoever we bought would be any better . It's not as if he's asking for anything outrageous like 150k a week , just pay him what he's asking for .

 

 

 

 

I mean, he wants the same money as Bruno, so he literally is asking for 150k a week [emoji38]

How do we know what he's asking for?

 

Joelinton is looking to become one of the club’s top earners on more than £180,000-a week but there is a growing optimism that a deal can be struck as Newcastle have indicated they are willing to give him that sort of financial status. Talks will continue with the hope of announcing the new deal before May.

Great news if so.

 

He's not at the Bruno/Isak level as a player but as a sheer presence at the club he's huge.

 

Be class to have him locked down for four more seasons.

Love him, and of all the players (apart from Pope) who’ve been out this season we’ve missed him most. Hope he celebrates the contract by booting a ball off his face in his first game back from injury

It will be a compromise like it says, no way is he going to get the £180k that article is claiming. If he gets anywhere near £130-150k he should be more than happy, I just don't think there's many other clubs outside of Saudi who would pay it.

Keep everyone fit next season and we might have a half decent midfield again

Brilliant news if true, this.  I think he would be hard to replace, as what he brings is so unique.  He can cover out wide and play in that hybrid role, as well.  We miss him so much at the minute.  

 

Hope it gets confirmed soon.  As there's been a couple of false starts with this already.

He’s also back running as well, not sure if that means he will be back before end of season.

Edwards says he could be back playing at the beginning of May
