Let the manager do his job man. People complained about Targett, now they're complaining about someone else possibly coming in instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has a better idea of how he wants to set us up for next season and players he thinks will suit that style. Probably has a slightly better idea than Buzza from Newcastle online. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s on like £160k pw atm, he’ll be looking for that or similar for one last big contract before he hangs it up so Id say no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume most would agree Striker and RW are the 2 main priorities but I’m unsure on what position would be next. Striker, RW and LB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we have to start thinking like Man City or Liverpool would think if we want to get to that level. Not saying Targett is a bad player, but we want to compete with the best, so we have to try to buy the same type of players they would buy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Seems like we have a good relationship with Atletico Madrid, I wonder if we could use that to our advantage if Almiron is deemed surplus to requirements. They’ve been credited with interest before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 1 hour ago, McCormick said: Maybe, but I know from experience that they won’t just hand their partners a blank checkbook for a project. Usual stuff; there will be a 5 year (or whatever) capital injection plan with (usually brutal) KPI targets etc. Doubt they’ll play it fast and loose like that but obviously this is a completely different venture. Don't disagree with that and my understanding of how PIF operate as well -- imo, and January showed their hand a little bit, if there is a way to pull forward investment in the near term to jump up the table via player transfers and getting deals done they feel are good value or too good to pass up, then I think they'll bend the structure. It's what being opportunistic is all about and, again, January showed me they will push if they need to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) I'd be really interested in seeing a list of each clubs top earner, mainly just as a reference guide to see whereabouts we fit. Not sure if this is readily available anywhere? At some point if we are to climb the table we will need to increase the amount we are willing to pay. Surely it will go up slightly each window.

A while back, I read The Great Tax Robbery: How Britain Became A Tax Haven For Fat Cats And Big Business which, amongst others things, discussed football players and in particular overseas players using certain off-shore tax schemes that saw them earn a lot more in real terms.

I think we now have 2 people on more that Joe. I have seen both £120k p/w for Bruno and £150k, not sure which is accurate. And I'm sure I saw £100k p/w for Trippier somewhere. Pretty sure ASM went level with Joelinton when they re-negotiated his deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomlynnherrington Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 If we’re looking to replace Targett this summer then Eddie must be looking to win the league.There aren’t many better left backs in the Premier League than him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
