Any buys after then would obviously go into the following set of accounts I assume? Yes, but unless we're currently perilously close to failing FFP there's probably no advantage in waiting because the amortisation would count towards the FFP calculation for a year longer.

andycap Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Anyone fancy Walker-Peters as fullback can play both sides bags of pace and ability? Decent age aswell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonBez comesock Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 2 hours ago, PauloGeordio said: According to The Athletic, Newcastle have placed Javier Manquillo, Jamal Lewis, Isaac Hayden, Jeff Hendrick and Ryan Fraser on the transfer list. They report that the club will ‘happily sell’ Manquillo and Lewis, as neither feature in Eddie Howe’s plans after slipping down the pecking order in the full-back positions. Both Hayden and Hendrick will not train with the first team when pre-season training resumed and the duo, who were on loan at Championship clubs Norwich and Reading respectively, are ‘expected’ to leave. As for Fraser, it is understood that he has ‘no future’ at the club after being sent to train with the Under-21s mid-season due to a disagreement with Eddie Howe. Howe has previously discussed about having to be ruthless when it comes to letting players go and will need to make room in the squad and wage budget for any incoming signings. Elsewhere, the same piece states that Garang Kuol and imminent signing Yankuba Minteh will be loaned out to aid their development at senior level, with neither teenage talent deemed first-team ready as of yet.

I'm giving everyone a couple of weeks downtime after a long season before they decide to make their moves... I mean Dubai must be full of wall to wall footballers this time of year!

andyc35i Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Yep no doubt they would have gone crazy with the spending. But I’m glad there’s some restrictions (although it’s a bit silly sometimes) on what we can do as it will feel better when we start winning things.

TK-421 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I was usprised to see Hayden had longer left on his contract than Hendrick (according to NUFC.com). I actually thought Hayden's contract was up after his loan (like Cieran Clark). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Depends on the fee but I’d definitely take him. Physically he’s a perfect Eddie Howe player, absolute beast in the making and only 20/21. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
