Jackie Broon Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 4 minutes ago, gdm said: You would think that. Seems quite the coincidence that nearly every journalist covering newcastle have said £40m it’s almost like they have been briefed Maybe, but if that's that case it's very unlikely that they"ve been briefed on our true budget.

I guess we only have 2 weeks to find out I think our budget will be based on who is available, willing to sign for us, matches our valuation and would improve our squad. We could well end up spending £40m or less but I don't think that would be due to that being our maximum budget. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 The Watford lads on that Loaded Mag channel were waxing lyrical about him like. Couldn't have gushed more about him than they did tbh. One thing's for sure though, he's not a striker, at least not at the moment. From 17 minutes https://youtu.be/Q4tiG-WQC4Q Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Wouldn't mind Pedro as the backup AM, and Ramos as the back up CF. Both are under 21 so won't count in the 25. I think can use the 40m we have as 20m upfront payments each with more in installments later. Pulisic and a CM (you know who) would be a great bonus.

Ketsbaia Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) Forgive the name drop but, when we were on speaking terms, I asked Watford fan Kelly Somers about Joao Pedro and she really rates him. And when you see some of the other fees being thrown around, anything around £25m could be quite nice tbh. I'm more of a Sarr man myself, mind.

Happinesstan Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 3 hours ago, Jaqen said: To be fair our fans thought Longstaff was a £50m player and Lascelles should be starting for England. £25m is more than fair enough for someone who's never really done much at PL level. A year later they were prepared to give him away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEEJ Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 If they're more or less going to treble their money, they'll probably go for that. Pretty similar to what they did with Richarlison isn't it? It'll be interesting to see what we do with him, should we land him. Seems to love a dribble and looks like he has a great eye for a pass. Even if he didn't have the best game the other night he appeared to create Watford's best 3 chances (goal aside). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants to head back down south as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gleebals Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Fair play to Watford for identifying all these players in the first place, then developing them to a point their values have increased so much! I assume this is a model we will adopt to, and need to. Begs the question why they did not perform last year with these players. My mate is a Watford fan and he says they recruit well with players, but their management appointments have been the complete opposite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
