STM Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Aye and how much are Liverpool going to want? We aren't in the business of giving money to rivals. We will be targetting more Isaks and Botmans from abroad. If the likes of Chelsea get involved, we will step aside. We won't get into bidding wars with lunatics Expect Maddison, Diaby, and yes even players like Calvert Lewin to still be on the cards. Whilst also trying to pick up good players on decent deals like we did with Pope... see Salisu for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 3 hours ago, Ronaldo said: Robert? I swear to God people remember a different player. His fitness record for us was good. Couple of injuries 02/03 where Viana had a couple of spells covering but overall yeah, was pretty much always fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Paris St-Germain are interested in Newcastle United's 23-year-old Dutch defender Sven Botman. (iNews) Leeds United's German defender Robin Koch, 26, is considered a potential signing by Newcastle United, although several Bundesliga clubs are also interested. (Sport1 - in German) Newcastle United could tempt Barcelona into selling Brazil winger Raphinha, 26, if they match the £55m fee the Spanish club paid to sign him from Leeds United last year.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Raphinha for £50m is definitely interesting, selling Botman to PSG is definitely not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 That's that then. Botman and Bruno out for £140 million. Tierney, Maguire, McDominate and Jota in for £200 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmesy Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I can't see Dan Ashworth sanctioning the purchase of McTominay when we have aspirations of playing Champions League football on the reg. It'll just be bullshit paper talk or his agent trying to drum up interest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking this too, would be quite odd given he doesn’t improve the first team and won’t be cheap in terms of wages or fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoSelecta Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) I really need Gordon to have a storming rest of the season to stomach McTomminay in the summer. I was underwhelmed when we signed Gordon but obviously benefit of the doubt goes to Eddie et al and he’s looked bright/promising so far. If Gordon struggles and then we go in for McTomminay who looks to be a slight upgrade on Longstaff it’ll test the trust.

Lush Vlad Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) Aye. Not sure a player who can’t get a look in for a Man U team who have desperately needed a bit of rotation this year. Is worth £40m and will push us onto the next level. Hope this is all paper talk and not another ‘Prem proven/overpriced’ player that we’re desperate to sign.

The Prophet Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Ashworth has said that our transfer policy works like a traffic light system. The recruitment team will put forward a series of targets for a position, Howe then has his input and Ashworth assess the financial practicality of each. A transfer is rated as "Green" only if all three parties agree on a transfer. Howe won't be scouting and suggesting targets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) Not always though, particularly where the Italian press are concerned. The local journos have all said we play our cards close to our chest these days, so I doubt we've told Man United or his agent agent that Howe is absolutely gagging to sign him. My guesswork theory is that in our desperation to sign a midfielder in January we probably asked about his availability.

They are like an open book transfer wise. Unlike, say, Liverpool who tend to do things quietly. I suspect Howe has a preference for players with PL experience but as someone above says, it's a transfer team decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
