jigen Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I don't know why Newcastle stopped buying young talent abroad and started buying in the inflated English market. Is it because of Howe? Serious mistake to make the market by taking players the manager knows (you can see Chelsea last summer). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are our resident accountants? I'm not an accountant, but as I understand it... If we get £30 million ASM, minus the value of his remaining contract, we can immediately put say £26 million on the balance sheet. If we sign a player for £40 million over five years, plus his contract value, that's circa £10 million on this year's books. So in theory at least it allows you to sign two £40 million players with a good chunk towards another. Edited July 19, 2023 by The Prophet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are our resident accountants? £120m is an exaggeration because the +£40m will only affect one FFP cycle (three years) whereas the hypothetical £120m-worth of signings will be amortised for longer than that (five years presumably). If we use Isak as an example, £65m for 5 years = £13m/year on the books, plus £5.5m/year wages = £55.5m over three years, so that +£40m sale has pretty much covered that £65m transfer during that three year cycle. If you also factor in that the sold players wage is now off the books - let's say he's on £50k/week so the £5.5m/year wages for Isak is only £2.9m/year net making the Isak deal £47.7m over the next three years. Obviously that's just a really rough outline but that's basically how selling a player for £40m can essentially pay for a signing at £60m.

And now this nonsense of sell ASM and buy Barnes. Gordon because he has a tonne of potential and can cover 3 positions. Barnes because Maxi contributed next to nothing in our best season for 25 years, and Barnes is a far more productive player with a better fitness record. It’s not rocket science.

jigen Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 The only player that can replace (and improve) ASM in terms of skills, dribbling and creativity is Kvaratskhelia. Save the money and buy Kvara (non Barnes!). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDT Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 What's Yannick Bolasie up to these days? ASM - 111 apps - 12 goals & 18 assists Yannick Bolasie - 119 apps - 11 goals & 17 assists He could do some nice 'skills' as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for stopping buying young talent from Europe what would you consider Tonali and Minteh to be exactly? Do you think Howe is now controlling Ashworth etc? Or do you think maybe the club are somewhat reluctantly letting go of a saleable asset, who doesn’t fully fit in with the team's current system and has had fitness issues (You'd imagine the medical team may have an idea if this is likely to be recurrent or not, I can imagine it’s not them who have him strapped up like a mummy).

This narrative that Howe only wants to sign British based players is hilarious. Worry that as soon as we have a bad spell some of our lot (the thick cunt element of our support) will turn on him because he isn’t a big name (yet).

Also the ex-coach under Super Bruce (don‘t remember the bame tbh) recently stated something like „eventhough he did tend to arrive late for training he was the one saving the team with dribbles/goals“. That gives a clear indication about his work ethic. I am fully behind Eddie ? Edited July 19, 2023 by Swissmag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
