Pure guess, I think it’s more about us refusing to get ripped off. Other clubs asking for much much more than market value. Like DCL for 60m for example (if true).

Dr.Spaceman Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Glad we're not spouting off about how rich we are, it would be stupid to do so. If it takes one or two windows to curb the 'newcastle tax' BS somewhat then so be it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new keeper could have waited another season. We may end up getting in 2 quality forward players and the argument becomes irrelevant, I was just making an observation in regards to the budget.

IF big IF Luke is correct and they are talking about wether to blow the whole budget on one of those players instead of getting a couple of players in. how would that stack up? no matter how much we are told there is a budget people just don’t want to believe it.

The rest all seem to be on same page It's coming from the local journos who are being briefed by the club. They've also been parroting the line that they'll go after any player that interests them at the right price. The two things don't marry up, but I'm inclined to believe the latter after January.

He’s not wrong that pretty much every journalist has said their is a strict budget. I hope they are all wrong I really do but maybe just maybe they are correct he’s saying ‘blow cash’ in the contest that we will use the remainder of the budget on that one player. Luke is a cock but he’s not saying anything that the likes of Douglas, Waugh, hope and more are saying Edited July 12, 2022 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Seems like we just need to trust them and let them get on with it tbh. Analysing every tweet and opinion seems canny draining, not fun.

I don’t think he is correct though. I’m also not saying we don’t have a budget, as I’m sure we do. What I am saying is that some of the prices we have been quoted for some players might be ridiculous and as a matter of principles we won’t budge and pay ridiculous fees. This doesn’t mean that we can’t spend 10m on Pope for example. Because we wouldn’t want to overpay 10-20m for another position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest all seem to be on same page It's about how patronising he is. Defended Bruce to the hilt solely due to being his mate when it was clear that he was fucking shit and by the end of his tenure was certainly taking us down. Used similar cliches that he attacked previous NUFC managers for as well in the cabbage's defence. He writes and tweets like 'this is how it is and if you don't like it, tough' in condescending ways then blocks people who call him out for it.

If the other journalists are wrong, that just means they didn't quite get it right given the lack of available sources. When Luke gets it wrong it's because he's a fucking tedious prick. If he gets it right, well he's always got a 50% chance of guessing right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 In January the local journos were reporting there was £50 million to spend. We bought Tripper and Wood, placed bids for Botman and Carlos, enquired about Paqueta (according to some of them) and then bought Bruno and Burn, with a spend of £90 million. They might have a ball park budget, but that alone suggests it isn't strict. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) Please don't make me stick up for Luke Edwards ffs. Everyone's been clamouring for new info and as usual when it's not what people want and they don't get that microdose of dopamine, they act like the same broken souls on Twitter. What he, Hope and Downie have reported is still new information and useful, it's just not decisive. It was exactly like this on here in-between signing Wood and Bruno.

Ikon Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) We have a budget but I’m bloody certain people on the outside won’t know the numbers. These are business people they aren’t that stupid that they would reveal their hand, never mind considering how the public view on us is. Most would think we would spend insane amounts Edited July 12, 2022 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
