It does because it's within the 3 year period, but they will come off sooner than they would have had we not done that. "From an accounting perspective" is all that matters for FFP. 9 minutes ago, Optimistic Nut said: I reckon they'll be on £50-60k each, Hayden £30-40k. Hayden is "only" on around £22k/wk according to multiple sources. Fraser a bit over £40k and Hendrick slightly under. The three combined are a little over £5m per season. We didn't write off Fraser's wages and he's probably the most attractive of the three, so I'm really hoping we can convince someone to take him.

Tsunami Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Don’t know how accurate this is for salaries (talks a good game) and Hendrick isn’t listed but, Fraser simply has to go and I’d be suggesting Targett looks for another club; we’re massively over paying him. https://www.capology.com/club/newcastle/salaries/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viana Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I noticed that both Leverkusen and Ajax have dropped their asking price for Moussa Diaby and Edson Alvarez respectively. It's things like that which give me confidence in Ashworth and the recruitment team. It would have been easy to pay the asking price or close to it due to desperation. There's clearly a plan and they're sticking to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We definitely have some solid valuations on players and if the selling club is asking for far above that we just move on (or wait). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he would be the natural successor to Wilson. Not convinced about the playing across the front three comment or the pressing one either but he probably has the ability to do both. He did excel in the false 9 and AM roles. We simply aren't spending 40-60m on him though with LB, CB, RW needs, for starters, more pressing. Would love it but it is nonsense.

Ameritoon Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Probably yeah. We got through last season basically playing two center backs. No way we're getting through a CL season like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season we only brought Bowyer in and the season we only brought Anita in were not the greatest. Leaves it all a little flat. Think we will do more though as it is needed.

Would be incredibly disappointed. I was never expecting an overhaul this window, was expecting/hoping for 2 big money and first team ready signings; a CM and a RW, plus 1 or 2 signings for depth, a LB and RCB. Still plenty of time. I was flapping last summer in the time we didn't make a single signing between 1 July and 26 August when we were crying out for a striker. We ended up with probably my favourite player at the club atm in Isak. Hope it doesn't take that long again obviously but I trust those at the club to get it right.

Miggys First Goal Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Luckily we have people in charge now who know what they’re doing, so we shouldn’t be going into the new season with just one signing. Hopefully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 22 minutes ago, Myleftboot said: If Tonali was the only signing this window with no outgoings would you be bothered? We’ve already made a second signing, or to be accurate Tonali was signing #2. Even just considering Tonali, we’ve brought in a top class player in our weakest position by far. If it ended here I’d have faith in Howe to make it work with the players at his disposal. I’m not expecting a season as good as the one just ended in any case. European football qualification, a decent CL campaign and perhaps a cup run would be pretty good considering the foundations are still being laid for this project we’re on. I’d be mildly disappointed, but hardly up in arms. I’d rather we buy only top class players and prospects rather than more of what we already have and will struggle to offload in years to come.
