That fee keeps coming on down!

 

Think that's likely to be the guaranteed money, with potential add ons to be discussed.

 

Good signs that talks are ongoing. No news from the German side playing this down or dismissing the fee.

 

Let's will this into existence!

So we've gone from agent in toon finalising deal to not close.

 

Nothing ever straight forward with us is there.

Agent could be agreeing personal details while the clubs are discussing the fee

I've fully accepted that this is not what we all dream about at all.

 

Some dream of disappointment and wallowing in self pity!

 

How the fuck did you get a picture of me? Creepy fucking stalker.

Can I ask why? Because he choose PSG over us?

 

His agent is a cunt, and his agent choice is a representation of himself. German league isn't the standard of the PL. Sancho, Werner, Fullkrug, Pulisic, Bailey, Haller, even Havertz isn't the hype he was billed at. Also feel he'll be looking for his next move and will jump at the first opportunity. 

 

I just don't like him.

Can I just say the sheer variety of hard-on GIFs has been magic to witness while catching up on all this

You will. This is good news.

If we believe Romano and we bid over 70 million, we must be pretty close if the asking price is what Ornstein is suggesting.

Not sure if reliable, apologies if not:

Frankfurt already got replacement and that is good for us. Frankfurt did plan to sell Ekitike this summer and it may be our advantage.

He’s done it both the German league, the French league and also in European competition. 
 

fair enough on the agent being a cunt tho

Dunno if Giggs but Frankfurt have just signed a striker

[Ronson333]

Should Newcastle conclude this deal, then Ekitike would represent a marquee signing, similar to when Alexander Isak arrived in August 2022 and Sandro Tonali joined the following July. Ekitike is a player with elite potential and would really boost Newcastle’s firepower.

The obvious follow-up question is what this means for Isak’s future, and the insistence is that Newcastle want to boast both among their frontline options. How Eddie Howe would keep that pair plus Anthony Gordon, Harvey Barnes and Anthony Elanga happy is unclear, and the finances involved in retaining them all will stretch Newcastle from a PSR perspective, but those are enviable “problems” to have.

Eddie does!

We're not a proper Newcastle team unless we've got a classy French player! Bring the lad home.

I don't get how hes valued so high. One solitary season of consistency in a good league, but nowhere near EPL standard.

 

[Bimpy474]

Blimey, well this is surprisingly good news if it happens.

Reads like their version of Burnsie 

[BennyBlanco]

Now I’ve calmed down a bit - I do think the money might be better spread on a decent center half. . . .

Same. It's probably a shite opinion, but it's mine (and yours it seems) and I can't deny it.

 

Hopefully we're massively wrong and he's mint, loves the club and his agent donates his fees to charities.

Had a quick look at Adlernews twitter and top tweets were back in June where they were spamming Liverpool and Chelseas lookinh to buy him. Don't think they seem very reliable at all.

We definitely have the budget for it, remains to be seen if we have enough for anything else.
