Gundogan on a free transfer? Opportunist move for 2 year deal do people feel? Experienced head for players like Miley to learn from, and try and get into coaching set up post retirement.

 

Wages. Not even close. 

[Dr.Spaceman]

If he fancied it at a decent wage, absolutely 100%. If he wants somewhere close to what he's getting at Barca then it's a complete non-starter.

So reading that Peterborough get 30 percent of what Brentford get.

 

We then get 30 percent of what Peterborough get 

 

So say it was 100 million (high I know)

They get 30 million.

We then get 9 million of that.

Free money is free money but feels more likely to be at 50m, so 4.5m, not bad but won’t change the overall picture

It'll cover what, Osula's fee with a bit change. Better than a kick in the balls.

Just for clarity, he’s currently on about £300k p/w

Some people have delusions of grandeur when it comes to us buying players, there are only probably 3 or 4 teams on the planet that can almost set there own transfer fees buying or selling, everyone else will pay what the selling team sees fit 

 

Well not quite, if the fee isn't right they don't do the deal. 

[Disco]

Looks like he might be going back to City

[Beren]

All the Chelsea lot are likely to be on megabucks, right?

Apparently not, at least anyone signed in the last 18 months (which is around 40 of them). Supposedly they have a stricter wage structure in place.

Probably part of the reason they’re trying to freeze out the likes of Sterling and Chilwell who are on massive money.

Any La Liga watchers?

 

How did Barca's Eric Garcia, formerly of Man City, get on at Girona last year?

Of the Barca lot the only one I would really want is Victor Roque. Otherwise I think the wages will be too high and I'd question their motivation as they might perceive joining us as a step down. But Roque is still young and I'd love to see how he'd do under the wing of our boys from Brazil with Howe and Co's coaching.

Still time for a last minute winner! Sometimes they’re the best.

Only Newcastle can get the richest owners in the world and unable to spend a penny of it

[ponsaelius]

Less than two weeks to go, keep expecting a flurry of activity and it's just been nowt.

[SUPERTOON]

I remember reading an article about Mitchell when he first came in. One of the main things in it where how he would spend the clubs money on transfers as if it were his own. Wonder if we are seeing an example of that now.

Still think it will be a CB and that’s us done.

It's a trait we need, though I'm not sure our lack of transfer business says that one way or another. No news on Isak / Gordon could be an indicator (though it's entirely possible one or both are already done).

Second one on the trot.  We've not signed a big player for 13 months and counting...

[Klaus]

We aren't entitled to exciting transfer windows  i don't stress too much about them nowadays, because we have vaguely competent people in charge. 

 

Just sit back and let it play out.

There's a very obvious reason for this...

That we signed no one in January either.
