Yes, because they are specifically looking for younger players to grow with the club as they have said countless times. Not every older player is automatically 'poor resale value', because not every signing that is made, is made with the view to eventually selling on for profit. The key is not spending a significant outlay on such older players, which we didn't do. Edited August 12, 2022 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Don’t think we give a single fuck about resale value. We want long term or short term contributors to the squad and they have to fit every single box Howe wants. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, the hesitation around the Targett transfer is proof. If Targett was 29, I don't think we sign him or at least we take longer to do it. And MT is better than we initially thought he was (fans and mgmt imo). 1 hour ago, Abacus said: And despite actually signing Targett and Pope, who are both over 25. OUTFIELD - READ. 30 as a GK is the equivalent of mid / late 20's for an outfield player. That's why we gave Pope a 4-year deal and CW/DB 2.5 year deals. The club expect Pope to be here in 3.5 years, they don't for the other 2. They are not the same type of transfer strategically. Pope was bought with the intention of being here post-midtable transition, the other 2 aint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When FFP is a significant factor - resale value is also a significant factor. Because you know, every club sells players and selling players generates revenue. I don't think we'll have a window signing 2 players 29 and older for the first team again in this current phase of our evolution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the two first teamers we've actually bought. You seem angry about things you've invented in your own head. Anyway, I'm not sure there's anything of substance or interest worth debating, so let's leave it there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Not reading the last 2/3 pages of shite, just want to say don’t bother using Wood as an example when it comes to transfers. Absolute exception, bought for to much money (which management knew at the time) because of the desperate position we were in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle haven't got a fucking dime on their players. No resale value. edit: I mean who they now have outgoing. Obviously they are accumulating players with real value on the squad.

elbee909 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Not going to lump on, I hope everyone ends up a bit happier with transfers come end of window. Even if not 100% satisfied, we're in a better place now than we've been in a long time. Oh, and Paqueta. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's absolutely infuriating how Ashley ran down the value of the squad to such an extent, and now it's staring us in the face when we can't even give our players away without subsidising either the player or the club they are joining because they can't afford their inflated wages. It's there in black and white, literally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
