If WHU/Everton offer money to Chelsea he will go there, unless we match it of course, I can see us wanting him on loan only first though with an option to buy.

We won’t be interested in Ronaldo, and he won’t be interested in us.

He’s too old, you are getting a year or two out of him. He’s on £500k a week, even if he takes a wage cut to join us (he won’t) he would still be on 2-3 times more than anyone else here.

 

If we bring him in, then his wages alone would mount up to what we would pay for anyone else.


On top of this he’s wanting Champions League football.

It’s been their policy to loan out players for the loan fee and partial wage payments, but I can see that policy changing now under new owners.

You’d imagine with Broja, Chelsea will be looking for some cash.

 

We might miss out with Everton throwing money around.

Everton can't throw money around, they don't have it. Even with Richarlison sale, I can't imagine they are a position to out bid anyone.

He’s a different prospect to Ekitike as well, since he’s a CF and (I assume) won’t play in the wide forward positions. Means he’d literally be an alternative to Wilson and not so versatile.

Gordon looks like he'll be a cracking player but he's fucking repulsive to the point I genuinely wouldn't want him 

 

Correct. Despise the little skinny Ratigan lookin ass.

I'm not even really sure where we got the reputation of willing to pay ridiculous sums for past-it players came from: even before PIF there was a "haha, maybe nufc will buy them" thrown out whenever some 33+y/o was looking for a last payday, as if we were the luxury version of Allardyce's Bolton.

 

Now the links will be cranked to 11. i'm not even mad, just disappointed at how lazy it is.

It's a remnant from the pre-Ashley era. It's crazy how lazy it is considering we didn't do that at all for 15 years.

I was thinking about that but Butt and Geremi were the only two that came immediately to mind and neither were particularly expensive. Campbell came in under Hughton for next to nothing. I don't think it ever really fit but I wasn't following until 2002 so maybe there were some 90's shenanigans.

I guess there was also Babayaro, Duff, Smith, Owen, Viduka (who I quite liked to be fair) off the top of my head.

You could probably make pretty solid cases for Viduka, Duff, Owen, Kluivert (although he was still good), Ronny Johnsen, Babayaro, Smith being name signings who were all past their best.

Hopefully we see more of the outgoings start to happen now, Gayle, Clark and Hendrick will all have championship takers but we’ll still be paying half of their wage. I know they want loans with obligations but I can’t see that happening for more then a few of our players.
