NUFC_Chris Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I wonder if the agent will come slinking back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 We should not entertain them if they come back. Move on to someone who actually does want to be here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 If he wants the move now, after all the too-ing and fro-ing, I'd be inclined to tell him we won't do the deal with his agent and he'll need a new, NUFC vetted, one for the deal to continue. Can't imagine Ashworth appreciating the current agents behaviour tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Tell them to fuck off, final. I honestly now don’t want him here, we can do much better surely. Again I’d prefer Broja or even Adam Armstrong back FFS! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless your agent is hindering your career progession...........you know, the exact thing they're there to facilitate. Right now, unless he gets a BIG move this summer (such as Bayern, Madrid, PSG or whomever) his agent runs the risk of killing his career before it gets out of the traps. Say he stays at Reims, gets a bad injury early doors, struggles to regain form (not entirely unthinkable) then how much is he worth next summer? Who's in for him? None of the above and probably, by then, nobody at our level either. It's shit or bust this summer and, if it's not to be to us, then his agent better have a card up his sleeve otherwise he's going to look like a right incompetent cunt tbh.

Theregulars Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Literally none of us know what's actually going on. If he signs, great, because the fact knowledgeable people have identified him suggests he will be useful. If he doesn't sign, then we will probably get someone else who is good too. It genuinely doesn't matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again I’d prefer Broja or even Adam Armstrong back FFS! I would be fine with us just moving onto someone else, even if they come back now, only because I think he's made his life so much more difficult now if he joins us, as he will now be so much more harshly scrutinized. Really unfortunate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low risk of losing money and a good chance you could almost double that in 3-4 years time; depends how prohibitive his agents demands are though, I suppose.

I have news for you: Newcastle under its current guise isn't all that for the kind of player we are targeting to help lift us to the upper echelons of the league and into Europe. Most of these players would have better option available to them, and those who "actually want to be here" over clubs already competing for titles and in the CL will mostly see us as a very big paycheck. We can't afford to be butthurt and spiteful just because this next level of player may need some convincing to join us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awaymag Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) for me, the pictures of him and his agent are like two kids who grew up, one has talent, the other is a hanger on. Look at how all the other footballers interact with their agent, none of this shit on Instagram. Up to Hugo like, but just looks off, the whole setup.

Agree with the sentiment but it would just be easier to just tell your agent to relax and that you want the move. Wouldn’t imagine it would be a common occurrence for a club to demand you sack your agent in order to complete a deal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
