duo Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 5 hours ago, The Butcher said: Sources have indicated to Telegraph Sport that Newcastle are close to making a breakthrough in their long pursuit of Botman after weeks of negotiations with French club Lille, as well as stiff and sustained competition from AC Milan. The fight between Newcastle and the newly crowned champions of Italy has not yet been won - and officials in Milan could yet move again to scupper the plan - but there is a growing sense of confidence within St James’ Park that the centre-back will decide to switch from France to Tyneside. Botman is currently on international duty with the Netherlands and has been careful not to give any firm indication about where he will play his football next season. But it now seems increasingly likely the 22-year-old former Ajax Academy prospect will be a Newcastle player next season. The deal is likely to cost around £30m, although Newcastle have been haggling over a structured deal which would see them pay around half of that up front and the rest in staggered installments. This has been a feature of Newcastle’s recruitment approach so far this summer and it has made completing deals complicated. There is a similar sticking point in the deal to sign striker Hugo Ekitike from Reims, with sources insisting Newcastle will not be paying the £25m fee in one lump sum. Newcastle were only paying £12-15m up front in January, a deal agreed with Reims, only for the transfer to collapse on deadline day. Newcastle had even tried to persuade the French club to let the 19-year-old join on loan for a fee of around £5m, with an obligation to buy at the end of next season. Reims, though, have insisted on more money up front and, although the framework of a deal is in place, negotiations over agent fees and a precise payment plan remain a “work in progress.” Wise - spreading the cash -->gets more players in.

TheBrownBottle Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) I'm so glad I've held off from saying that Botman is the new VvD / is shite and slow. In part because I've never watched him play 90 mins (note: this does not stop NUFC twitter from making proclamations), but also because it is best to keep that powder dry. So I'm looking forward to him signing / us moving on to better targets soon, and he can become a club legend / a lucky escape Edited June 8, 2022 by TheBrownBottle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbthree3 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Newcastle are concentrating efforts on Lille defender Sven Botman after agreeing to sign Matt Targett from Aston Villa in a £15m deal. Newcastle face competition from AC Milan for Dutch centre-back Botman who is valued at £30m. The deal is likely to cost around £30m, although Newcastle have been haggling over a structured deal. Newcastle remain hopeful of reaching agreement over the structure of Hugo Ekitike's transfer after agreeing a fee with his club Reims last week.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Sven, Sven, Sven nomiddlename Bot-man, E’s a lahvley geeza, but don’t forget that e’s from Badhoevedorp. Upfront there's Chrissy Wood - and Wilson that's his pal, He should tell Clark he’s fucking gash and he’s always gonna fail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I hope the deal falls through though. There seems to have a lot of center backs available in the market and the likes of Badiashile / N’Dicka looks like better prospect imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) Howe knows about the pace of the league and he's obviously well aware of his own preferance for playing with a high line. As much as Badiashile looks the better choice to my completely amateur eye I'm going to assume there's a good reason we're so keen on Botman. If Botman is who we want then we don't want it to fall through man Edited June 9, 2022 by Hanshithispantz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Badiashile looks quicker and more aggressive aye. Their general stats look similar as well. Trippier, Schar & Targett aren't quick for their positions either so you would prefer the lad with legs or an Ake. But seemingly Botman's our top target.
