AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Class how he's trying to get less So he can force a move just after one year Nowadays the club tends to sell the players 2 years before expiry instead of 1 I know, that's why it's brilliant. Not even pretending he wants to actually play here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest covmag Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Signs for £36 million. You can hear the journos now “Ashley is backing his man “ . How much has he raked in this summer so far? £36 million or just shy of? Hmmmm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much has he raked in this summer so far? £36 million or just shy of? Hmmmm I'd be happy with that, if it were Rafa spending it, on the players he wanted. There's nothing wrong with only spending what the club generates (along with TV money). Rafa would have got 3 players (including Rondon) for that.

Raconteur Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Pay £4m to downgrade from Rafa to Brewce. Pay £6m (net) to downgrade from Ayoze to Joelinton. Mike Ashley, retail genius. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 We’ll meet him half way. We’ll just sign no one this summer then give him a nice 3.5 year contract in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea if that second point is true or not yet like. Rafa loved Ayoze and didn’t want Joelinton - says enough to me. Ayoze also scored more last season fwiw. I’m comfortable with it.

mrmojorisin75 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Rafa gets the odd one wrong too.

Optimistic Nut Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Whether Rafa wanted him or not has no relevance to how good he is anyway. He might have just wanted someone else (Rondon for instance). Does particularly make Joelinton any less of a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate End Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Rafa gets the odd one wrong too. He wanted Barry or Aquilani to replace Xabi Alonso for instance. So did Sir Alex Ferguson smarty pants. What did they win with their transfers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Steve Nickson is gassed on him and (has probably) convinced Ashley to sign the biggest cheque he’s written for the Toon - for a player Ashley twice rejected the opportunity to sign. You’re right, that doesn’t make him less a player by itself, but there is/was something about this player that Rafa didn’t like. We’ll see soon enough, although Ayoze is playing in a much better squad at a more ambitious club. If he doesn’t outperform Joelinton @ Mike Ashley FC, then he’s flopped enormously.

Ultimately you have to judge what they actually do with their transfers overall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
