This is a unique situation in terms of our position in the league relative to our finances now. I don't think you can go off the past too much. I would be staggered if there had not been numerous approaches to the club prior to January by agents offering players this window who we could get and would improve the team. Maybe not the best players but definitely better than what we have which wouldn't be difficult. No, for everyone. Just look at the stats for every January transfer window over the last decade. Clubs don't want to sell. I'm sure there have been 100s of approaches by agents to us, that doesn't mean a thing if the selling club doesn't want to think about selling until the last week in January or, in the case of a number of our targets, the summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 £41m seems reasonable to me considering their situation tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

worthy Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 If we choose to pay 25 million for a extremely limited player such as Wood, they might as well cough up the rest to get this over with. our CBs are so fucking terrible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do Newcastle want to pay cheap for a player who is in a team with one of the best defenses in the world in January? It is difficult to understand this situation. 40m pounds for a starting player from one of the best defenses in the world is quite reasonable.

HawK Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) Pay the £41m, get it done. Everton paid £25m for Michael effing Keane from Burnley 4 years ago. This chap is a winner and sorts out the shower of shit we have in front of Dubravka. Edited January 19, 2022 by HawK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey47 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I just posted this in another thread but we desperately need a CB like now. This is very damning and suggests that in fact CB is the number one priority. We've all know that Lascelles was just a lump for a while but at least he does being a lump fairly succesfully. What the fuck is Schar doing in our team? I thought he was supposed to be our best CB and a ball playing defender. Clark has made more progressive passes per 90 than Schar...

By agreeing to triple the player's wages we have inadvertently revealed how much we value the player, and how keen we are to sign him. The selling club have every right to play hard ball.

Obviously we’re getting stiffed - but then, why should anyone do us a favour? Usually best not to approach a window desperate and telling the world you have ‘deep pockets’ - the first couldn’t be helped; the second could. Looks to me like at some point they’re going to have to shit or get off the pot. No-one wants us to pay over the odds - but this is a bastard of a time to need players, and COVID appears to be making clubs less keen to let anyone go.
