NUFC Transfer Rumours


Recommended Posts

 

Bowen, canny player but is what, 28, with no significant likelihood of improvement or sell on value. He will break the bank, which is only okay if FFP etc is thrown out.

Hindsight is easy, but we should have signed him when Bruceyboy had it all sewn up, feel we’ve missed the boat and Wet Spam would have our pants down now.

You're right, but just so sad we have to even think of FFP. Should be a case of "can we afford him?" - Yes, "does he make us better?" - Yes. 

 

He's the exact sort of player we should be going for.

I like Bowen a lot but I just don't see him leaving London for us unless we offer crazy wages .

I thought that until I read how much he keeps himself to himself. Doesn’t socialise much is just focussed on the football/his career. Sounded a bit like David Batty and made me a bit more optimistic that he would leave ‘The Big Smoke’.

Probably right especially as that have twins but it’s not a permanent move to the NE. What 3 years maybe?

Never happening. She’s more Essex than Pat Tate in Rise of the Footsoldier.

Bowen has a contract until 2030, supposedly on around £120k per week. I wouldn’t surprised if the total package of transfer fee and wages went over £100m, and that’s for someone turning 28 this year. Not happening.

This.

 

Not sure why he’s even discussed. Just had a second bairn not that long ago to Mr West Ham’s daughter. He ain’t moving from London now unless we did something we never do and that’s to over pay on a player plus his wages.
