Sven Botman back late December/early January 'at the earliest' (Howe)


Recommended Posts

Ryder latest, more or less what everyone's been saying https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-united-ready-buy-sven-24182599

 

Newcastle United's main defensive target of the summer Sven Botman wants his future decided before his summer holiday.

The 22-year-old will sign off from Holland Under-21 duty later this week with both the Magpies and AC Milan grappling for his signature. With the Serie A club still awaiting confirmation of a takeover though, it is Newcastle that are growing increasingly confident that a deal could be landed soon.

Chronicle Live understands that Lille's asking price of around €30million has been agreed by the Magpies. And in comparison with Milan, who are waiting for confirmation of transfer funds, Newcastle are said to have an advantage over the Italian champions.

 

Basically Milan - who are have been waiting for US private equity firm RedBird Capital Partners to confirm a purchase - are not in a place to bid for Botman. Milan have had a verbal agreement in place with Botman in recent times but that will count for nothing if they can't cough up the fee.

Botman's representatives briefed the Dutch media last night and indicated that neither Newcastle or Milan had won the race for his services. But by the same token, Botman is pushing for his summer move to be finalised so that he can enjoy his vacation.

Botman has already said goodbye to Lille and won't be happy about talk of further delays from Milan. He is currently in Wales preparing for a game with his country.

I'm happily letting it unfold. If we miss on our top target we'll have another couple in the pipeline and we go and try and get them. There are plenty of players out there who will improve us massively, and in most part we can afford them and have the ambition to try. Some will reject for more established clubs but as time passes there will be less and less of them.

 

Don't worry, be happy.

Assumed the bit in bold and beyond was your own take on it at first, and not something written on an actual news site [emoji38]

Wont lie. I'm getting wet now.

Whoever we'll end up with will be an improvement but if they get people that are obviously their first choices, knowing how thorough our staff are now, it will be very gratifiying.

the internet is clogged too full of people with actual corncobs for brains so if you're being anti-botman ironically please mark your post accordingly so i don't flame you


It’s not irony dweeb, it’s physics. You know how when things are further away they appear slower? That’s what’s happening here.

 

Look, if you think of your visual area as a cone, you see that it kinda starts small and grows with distance from your eyes. We tend to perceive speed as proportional to the time it takes to cross the circumference of this cone at the given distance. 
 

Therefore the further away Botman  is from us, the faster he’s got to move in order to have the same apparent speed. 
 

Ugh. There. I killed the joke.
