A transfer ‘warchest’ apparently Equivalent to one good player. Taking into account our transfer budget unusually includes wages and signing on fees/agent fees, we’ll probably send £50.

loki679 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 £50m isn't bad tbf. It's about £90m more than I was expecting anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slim Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Newcastle United have been urged to consider a move for former Arsenal and West Ham midfielder Jack Wilshere. Former Magpies defender Steve Howey believes Steve Bruce should weigh up offering the former England international a pay as you play deal following his release from Bournemouth.

et tu brute Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 See the Sun (I know) article from two days ago was reporting fat cunt is making 50 million now available. If that was the case, just seems strange seeing that it was previously heavily reported he was pulling the strings even tighter with only 10 million (and any cash from player sales) available. Also out of kilter with his obvious reluctance to spend money with the takeover in the balance. He showed in January his stance even in the face of relegation being very possible. As I said it’s the Sun so may be bollocks, but if it is correct just seems a head scratcher with Ashley’s reluctance to spend and the takeover still very much in the balance. Might already been discussed somewhere, just never seen it and that’s unusual for here for it not to be picked up and posted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it could well be total bollocks also with it being the Sun as I mentioned. If true, it’s certainly interesting and would be a pretty big change (for Ashley) in his recent stance.

brummie Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Wouldn't be at all surprised to see Bruce look at Conor Hourihane. Bruce loves him. I like him (Hourihane not Bruce, obvs) but he's right on the line in terms of good enough for top flight or not. Has a belting free kick and shot on him. Used to annoy us otherwise by standing and watching the entire midfield get overrun without tracking back or getting stuck in in any way, though. No idea how he's done on loan to Swansea this last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
