I would trust Rafa to spend £50m wisely. We bought Schar, Fernandez, Dubravka, and Ki for a combined £13m.

 

That shouldn't even need questioning TBH. He's the manager, if they don't trust him then let him go.

 

I know, I meant more for us as fans. I wouldn’t trust Sam Allardyce with £5, let alone £50m.

Gonna be tough to get what will certainly be a totally different squad on the same page before the start of next season. Doubly-so if it’s not Rafa at the helm.

Would hardly say the futures of Barreca and Kenedy are "uncertain" like - they're going back.

 

Plus they've done fuck all this season.

For anyone who can be arsed if Rafa goes, I genuinely think you need to prepare yourself for Colback in a Newcastle shirt again, especially if we're literally left with Ki and Longstaff as our only senior CMs.

I can cast iron guarantee that the net spend this summer will be below £20m

 

Anyone else disagree?

Is that net? Because I can totally see sales of £100m and purchases of maybe £60m - and it’s only that high because we’re going to have to replace 6-10 players.

 

Even a bare minimum of departures (Shelvey, Diame, Ki, Rondon, Ayoze, Kenedy) - there’s no replacing them without some *real* expenditure.

After Ki and Longstaff we dont have much going on in CM

 

Hayden's been good but wants to be sold

 

Shelvey needs to be sold

 

Diame not good enough, but will probably be retained as we're never going to buy 3 CM's

 

Pass back Jack should be offski's

 

Going to be a big problem for Tim Sherwood

Diame's definitely leaving isn't he? We've deliberately stopped him reaching 25 starts this season so as not to trigger an automatic contract extension

I’d be surprised if with 3 midfielders going, Samaris isn’t one of the first signings announced this summer. Free transfer, would leave money from sales for Shelvey & Hayden for a new first choice midfielder, and we’d still need to buy one more.

It would have triggered a 2 year extension, which the club didn't want IIRC. He might get a year, if he agreed it with club.

That just means we can now offer him a new lower payed contract (if he wants to sign it), rather than him getting the same terms he is on now automatically or what the next person up said  :D

 

Theres no way we could possibly let Diame, Hayden and Shelvey leave.
