Barnes23 Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Putting aside the debate about whether to keep or sell, what kind of fee would everyone be happy to receive for ASM were we to sell? Given some of the fees outgoing players from European leagues have been able to generate so far, I'd be disappointed if it's any less than £40m personally.

BoSelecta Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 If Maxi does go to KSA it’s north of £50m and there’s fuck all anyone can say about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, would be easier to take if we could get nearer that figure. Not sure we would though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt1892 Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 £35 million plus £15 million in add ons, which will be easier to hit than Woods at Forest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, can probably do a year there, earn a lifetime wage, then pop back to Europe. I'll be curious to see how many of the new arrivals under 29 see out their stated contracts.

nemtizz Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 If that snide Brazilian freak is going for 40 we should at least be asking for 60. Say what you want about Maxi but people love to watch him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) I kind of want the Saudi move for Maxi. I think it's more suited to the kind of showman player he is, and earnings wise it will be a massive opportunity for him, because he has never really earned big money. Ben Arfa should be trying to get a deal over there and all. Edited July 15, 2023 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashworth will not commit or pull trigger on Barnes, until a concrete offer/agreement has been reached with an unknown Saudi club for the purchase of ASM. Fees being discussed. LCFC becoming impatient with situation. WHU now entering into possible Barnes transfer, however player has stated he wants Newcastle move. This actually makes sense. Can see the two being linked. And that makes even more sense if there is a 3rd BIG deal being worked on that needs some FFP lubrication The £££ from Maxi pays for Barnes, and the FFP credit from Maxi sale goes to new signing Edited July 15, 2023 by Exiled in Texas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamPS Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 I guess money talks but be mad career wise for ASM to entertain a Saudi move. First chance to play in the CL, at a club going places. Neves was at wolves who are stagnating. Fabinho, Ronaldo and many others are coming to the end of their careers, so a different scenario Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Would Maxi really have been risked in the pissing rain at Gateshead today if we were about to get some silly Saudi money for him? Doubt it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd just have started one of the U21 lads, our lack of available first teamers doesn't really come into it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Call me a conspiracy nut but I had a feeling that the non-NUFC player signings by Saudi clubs had a dual purpose. There's certainly now a decent list of clubs who are in no position to complain about any above value signings from Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst thing to see in football is watching clubs buy their way to the top in a couple of windows. Give me a slow and steady build any day of the week. FFP is a good idea in principle. In reality though, it's just locked in the advantages for those who have already spent their way to the top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve already had a bid rejected, so I think this is one that the club will revisit, once the Barnes/ASM situation has been resolved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
