Last decent turkish player? Arda Turan?

[Solitude20]

Yep, this is the guy I want the most, this Guler guy. 

[Unbelievable]

BEIN Turkey were reporting today that Ajax is his most likely destination somehow

[Tiburon]

I think internally the club are fairly relaxed as things stand right now regarding transfers because I think they have already done the heavy spadework with their ‘list’ and are confident in signing the one or two players they really want on that list.

 

And that’s why it’s kind of been quiet (compared to previous early windows post takeover anyway and what’s happening with other clubs) despite the constant links to either the same usual names or new names thrown about by the media who don’t seem to have a clue really and that’s because in truth (something the media don’t know the meaning of), they actually don’t. 
 

They most definitely don’t have a clue about budgets and while FFP could replace the club’s official nickname given that’s how much it’s used next to the name of ‘Newcastle United’ these days, I think the whole FFP thing, despite being a very real issue, if not a total bullshit one in terms of its creation, existence and enforcement or lack of, isn't the big deal it’s made out to be by both the club and especially the media. How much we will or won’t or can or can’t spend isn’t the issue or something that we have a limit on, it’s how much wages we will or won’t or can or can’t pay a player that’s the real issue with.

 

Isak for the huge record fee of £63m in total on his current wages was no problem at all. Now if we had to pay him double those wages, that would have been a problem and will remain so until revenues increase and keep increasing.
 

We’ll see movement soon in my opinion after the internationals and we see more players returning from their pre-season holidays. That and we will be watching who other clubs are interested in and want or not as well.
 

I think we’ll get Maddison who we have already attempted to sign last season and seem eager to land, some higher quality squad level players and maybe one out of nowhere type big signing like we did with Isak. We have already or are in the process of adding players for future development not ready for first-team action right now.

 

Basically, we need to chill and ignore most of the noises in the media. This is the most relaxed I’ve been in over two decades regarding the transfer window despite not being as this excited before as I am at the mere thought of how our squad will look like once the window closes.

But if the club is after players like Botman, Bruno and Isak, that is, young players that are not on the radar of the big teams, the negotiations should not take long.

Did they take long? What is a long time in any case? I mean transfer deals are never easy anyway or straight forward, especially in today’s game. I’m confident we will get who we want on our list or the right kind of players we need come the close of this transfer window.
 

Since the takeover there seems to be some kind of mad scramble type mindset by fans and media alike to just go and sign some players already. There is no rush or panic. We have a huge team from Howe himself to everyone else involved in the recruitment side working behind the scenes on things and their record thus far is almost exemplary.

that’s when you assume the club doesn’t know what they’re selling, which is rarely the case. There are no ‘quick’ deals

For all the Maddison and Szoboszlai talk, the pain when someone else buys Guler will be so much more   

[Sufi]

Seriously I think Guler should be number one on the list. He has generational talent written all over him. It would bring us a ton of fans from Turkey and the Muslim world in general. The release clause is low. Surely we can’t miss? Offer him a nasty contract, yearly wage rise, signing bonus, no release clause. Sign him up for 7 years and include a potential clause to match him with highest earner if he reaches certain milestones. 
 

let’s get this done. Ajax and Dortmund my ass. He’s going to be our Turkish messi

Didn't the PL pass an anti Chelsea law making 5 years the max?

 

[Sufi]

If thats true, lets do 5 years plus one year club option, one year player option to extend or appearance based automatic extention with a bonus or wage rise

No, the contract length can be whatever but it’s only calculated at a max of 5 years for FFP reasons. 

[Ikon]

I don't understand why people are so obsessed with Arda Guler.

once upon a time there was a player called Emre Mor

Ive a read a few comments where people are confident we will sign 2 players. Well we definitely need more than 2 players or we will struggle next season. Whats the story with Veiga? With a €40m release clause i thought he woulda been snapped up by now, i know its still early in the transfer window but at that price it seems ridiculous that no one would at least bid. I would much rather him than Guler tbh

Think it's more that people (Hope, Edwards etc) have heard it's likely to be two elite players that can immediately improve the first team in terms of the majority of the budget. But that there may also be scope to add another 1/2 in terms of depth options.

He'd stand more of a chance of getting games straight away, I'd have thought.

 

He looks a great talent, but I don't think he'd walk into our first team straight away.

[r0cafella]

I think Guler is an interesting one and I see it going one of two ways. 
 

either he goes to a stepping stone club like a Dortmund or Ajax and tries to enhance his reputation/value that way. 
 

or he jumps straight to an elite club and ends up being sold off in a couple of years time.

[Guest reefatoon]

Move over Paqueta, Guler looks like this summers creepy obsession.

[kingxlnc]

Tbh with Veiga, Guler and Szo or Maddison for 100m it’s our CM and RW depth options fully sorted for the next few years even. 

Their youth will complement the experience we have and make it very competitive. 

 

Then getting Lodi on loan to buy and a cheap ish RCB and back up CF can complete the window, for around 50m all in.
