OCK Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 He might be class, but if he's not convinced or can't convince his agent, then maybe time to look elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PSG stuff probably floated by his agent has fallen flat, and I think we are in pole position. All this stuff is just horse trading with loads of time left in the window. If we make a serious move for an alternative striker then the agent will capitulate IMO. PSG not interested Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This deal is still there to be done but will be down to the player's camp to ressurect it. He's in danger of blowing the move otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 It's a bit odd people being so strongly against signing the guy because his agent is a dipshit Do think it's a valid worry that if we get him and he's good we might have to deal with some bullshit from him every summer but the club have clearly identified him as someone they really want so there's no harm at all in leaving our offer one the table while also looking into the next options on our list.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I heard Ekitike has signed up to RTG and been calling Newcastle worse than shit. Said The Bridges had better shops than Eldon Square and Earl Grey tea was for pussies. Never liked his attitude, good riddance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I went off him when I listened to an interview between him and his agent and he kept calling his agent Marra. His agent had the audacity to call Shearer a rectangle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Just now, Ikon said: Surely he isn’t retarded and has some sort of influence and say if he wants to move. Agreed. If anything hes more than likely to kick off with his agent aged 19 than he would at 29. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 An agent is there to represent the player and get the best deal for the player, really. If everything else is agreed and in place and he wants to join you'd assume he'd be putting pressure on the agent to just accept the deal, I'm sure what were offering him will be fair. It's just an odd situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Same with Botman for me. Someone the club has wanted from day 1 under the new ownership and Howe. Want us to sign as many of our first choices as we can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I really want us to sign this guy, despite the negativity around the transfer status, I just hope we get it done, he does look like he could really become a superstar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blown away by Botmans footage but not impressed with him. Actually hope we don’t sign him in all honesty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Did I read the word "entourage" a few pages ago? Agents I can understand, but anyone who has an entourage can GTF quite frankly. Just a collection of leeches trying to milk them dry. Not saying he does have one, I think it was just someone else's comment and I should probably attach no weight to it, but to me "entourage" is a massive red flag.
