joeyt Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 From the Mirror Newcastle will listen to offers for Rolando Aarons this summer with West Brom among his admirers. Relegated Albion are considering a move for the talented winger but have other options too. Aarons, 22, is an England U20 international who showed great promise breaking into Newcastle’s first team in 2014.He has made 18 Premier League appearances scoring twice and having one assist. But his progress has since been stalled by injury and he was loaned out last season to Hellas Verona in Italy. He has three years left on his contract. Aarons avoided prison in May after becoming embroiled in a bar brawl while celebrating his child’s first birthday in Newcastle city centre on October 9, 2016. After pleading guilty to a charge of affray, Aarons was handed a 10-month prison sentence - suspended for 12 months - and ordered to undergo 100 hours of unpaid work.

Guest covmag Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 whats our current net spend this summer? sorry for asking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 -45m is what I imagine once the window closes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 It does look like we are clearing the decks a bit. Expect Mbemba, Ritchie and Mitro to be gone this window, just hope Rafa is able to use all that money and is being given at least 50mil. Would give around 100mil to spend, and just spend it on 3 players should improve us? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 We're a few players over the 25 man limit iirc. Mitrovic, Mbemba, Colback are all going to be gone soon I imagine. Brings in some cash and frees up wages. Hate the way we operate though, it's pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 We better start monitoring the fuck out of some players soon like, other teams are starting to make strides. Could see us dragging the Mitrovic and Ritchie deals out to the last day of the window then failing to bring in replacements. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Don't forget the loan and agent fees for Kenedy lads, plus his wages. Presumably the accounts will show that the deal cost around £40m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I think the sell-to-buy thing is purely for squad size reasons, even though it's reasonable to worry that it's a financial thing. We got a lot of dross, man. Only 25 can be chosen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I think the sell-to-buy thing is purely for squad size reasons, even though it's reasonable to worry that it's a financial thing. We got a lot of dross, man. Only 25 can be chosen. Its clearly a financial thing, pretty sure you can have a player but not register him (or send him to the under 23s). Also we could always try buying before we sell for once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Worrying thing is after the Premiership transfer window closes others are still open so players can still be sold abroad. I can see Porto trying their luck by continuing to low ball NUFC for Mbemba. They'll assume NUFC would rather sell for a lower fee so the money can be used while the Premiership transfer window is still open. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why it's a priority to get rid, although every other club seems able to handle multi-tasking. That's the frustration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I think the money is there, but very limited, say just 20M. Hence we only bid for Plea and other deals are all zero cost deals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 No such thing as zero cost with Mike. Everyone we've brought in will have taken a chunk out of 'available' funds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 i think we're going to spend money like, looks like we're desperate to clear out as much shit as possible before we do though which will mean we end up with poor choice players again probably :/ surely there's no fucking way on earth ashley thinks he can get away with spending less after a season in the PL than he did after promotion from the champo? i mean i'd probably have to give him credit if he went and got away with that con on both rafa and the fans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I’ve got us at 28 seniors now Merino is gone, sound about right to people? Sels/Elliot/Darlow, Sterry, Mbemba, Lazaar, Colback, Saivet, Aarons and Mitrovic to be shifted. Leaves us needing 5 more signings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t see Joselu going just yet, think he’ll hang around as third choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 We’ve been looking at Alf Inge Haaland’s son who plays for Molde and are managed by Solskjær. Needless to say Man U are also monitoring but I’d imagine his dad would have mixed feelings about that. Anyway they want around £8M for a 17 year and we ain’t paying that and Mike and Rafa have a Mexican stand off over releasing funds and signing a contract. What a way to run a club.
