NUFC Transfer Rumours

[KetsbaiaIsBald]

It's just fucking boring now.  This will be the third transfer window where we can't do anything significant.  Even if we do we will be screwed in the summer.  It's starting to feel like Everton after they went on their spending spree and were fucked for years after.  The only difference with us is we appear to have some quality assets in Gordon, Bruno, Isak, Botman, maybe Tonali.  

 

To add to that we're not maximising our incoming revenue.

Mbeumo will cost a good £70m+ then.

 

I did see this

But I think £70m is probably more accurate given it would be winter and he'll have 1.5 years left on his contract still in Jan. We really should have moved on him in summer ffs

There are better options than Mbuemo with our limited budget. Diallo at Man Utd and Conceicao at Porto are both out of contract at the end of the season.

Conceicao isn't out of contract in the summer

 

I'm not sure Diallo is a better option than Mbeumo currently. He's also not going to leave in the summer on a free 

[Kimbo]

I never thought I’d be opposed to exciting big money signings, but we need to focus the resources we’re allowed to spend on players that can be the next Mbeumo. We have so many positions that need refreshing, we bargains.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

If we buy someone for that money it's because we think we can afford it.

 

Like I keep saying, if we buy a player now and sell a big player in the summer, I don't see what has improved.

 

FWIW I can't see us buying Mbeumo now.

Transfermarkt says he is. 

 

Diallo isn't as good as Mbeumo, but given our budget he's a good option. Considering we also need a 10 and a 6.

Our targets seem so obvious now it’s getting boring. We’re like a 15 year old playing football manager.

Transfermarkt says his juventus loan finishes in the summer. 

 

But he's contracted at Porto until 2029

You're right, I missed that bit. 

 

Apparently his release clause is €30M so still a good option if we could convince him. 

[joeyt]

I think there's a dearth of right wing options currently for us

 

I got scoffed by a few for suggesting Mbeumo last season but there's very few obvious options out there for us. Many wanted us to sign Chiesa but I don't remember us genuinely being linked with him. 

 

Even in the Championship I don't think there's standout right wingers. The lad at Norwich Sainz looks fun but he's a left winger. Gnonto again is best on the left

Need to sell so we can buy him? Surely we can attract a bid for Murphy or Miggy? These are the types of players we need rid of so we can improve the squad without going over the PSR limit. If Eddie is wanting to keep them then he needs told in my opinion. They're not good enough.

[TBG]

Given the age of the squad I'd like to see us try and get Yamal on loan.

Minteh on loan

Full Puke:

 

 

Newcastle United are discussing the possibility of signing Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo in January but manager Eddie Howe is facing tough spending restrictions.

Although Newcastle are keen to strengthen their squad, if a big money signing is made in the winter window the club would have to sell someone in the summer.

The club parted with wingers Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh to Nottingham Forest and Brighton respectively to avoid breaching profit and sustainability rules in the summer.

The problem remains an ongoing concern for a club that continues to languish behind the Big Six in revenue streams despite the takeover by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. Newcastle have spent more than £400million on players since the takeover in October 2021, but have struggled to recoup money through player sales.

Telegraph Sport has been told that PIF will continue to invest in the club despite the announcement, in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, that the sovereign wealth fund intends to cut international spending from 30 per cent to between 18-20 per cent.

But as part of their existing portfolio, PIF will not change their stance towards Newcastle, reassuring supporters they are still willing to invest in a new stadium and the general growth of the club.

That does not help with PSR, though. The club’s recruitment team have started to step up plans to add to the squad in January but senior sources have told Telegraph Sport funds will be limited.

That will be met with dismay from supporters who feel the first team squad has stagnated after failing to sign a single player to improve the starting XI in the last two transfer windows.

 

Howe, who can see the glaring holes in his squad at centre back and right wing, will push for a player to be added in the winter window. But he is also well aware of the bleak financial situation.

It had been assumed that Newcastle would be able to spend big in the winter window having failed with a £60 million bid to sign Crystal Palace centre back Marc Guehi in the summer.

But having failed to move on any of their senior players and highest earners, like Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson (who has started two games in 2024) in the summer - as well as agreeing a lucrative long term contract with Anthony Gordon - things are tighter than previously thought.

A renewed bid for Guehi has been discussed internally, but there is little confidence in that being revived and Newcastle are looking at right-sided forwards too.

The England international has been advised to leave his options open until the summer, when he will only have one-year left on his contract and Newcastle are wary of getting dragged into another transfer saga.

Newcastle felt they were led on by Palace in the summer after they kept raising the asking price during negotiations and the London club would have to initiate contact if they are willing to sell their captain in January.

If Newcastle do buy someone - and Mbeumo has been discussed - it is believed they will have to make sure they sell someone in the summer.

Gordon remains of interest to a number of clubs at home and abroad, while Bruno Guimarares and Alexander Isak could also attract bids from rivals.

In the meantime, Newcastle are set to activate a one year extension to Sean Longstaff’s contract.

Longstaff has entered the final year of his existing deal, but Telegraph Sport can reveal the club have the option to add another year and will do so as they still see the academy graduate as an important part of the squad.

Newcastle have been discussing a new long term deal with the 26-year-old for some time and those talks remain ongoing. But the extra year option has taken some of the pressure off as it means Longstaff will be under contract until 2026 and will not be able to leave on a free transfer next summer.

Newcastle are not currently negotiating a new deal with striker  Isak but will revisit that situation at the end of the season, when the Sweden international will still have three years left.

Isak, who has been desperately short of form so far this season, has been told it is up to him to prove he deserves to become the club’s highest earner and both sides are said to be relaxed about the situation.

True. Though I’d never have believed we’d spend the whole summer chasing Marc Guehi and then put a desperate bid in for the Forest boy on deadline day.

We have completed a deal to sign highly rated Georgian forward, Vakhtang Salia from Dinamo Tbilisi.

He will officially join the club on his 18th birthday in August and will remain at Dinamo in the meantime.

Welcome to Newcastle United, Vakhtang!


There's doubters on here still saying we wont spend big money too - The idiots

This is somewhat of a coup.. let’s hope we handle his progression well.

Funny them quotes from Mitchell, as I swear some people on here said we where really basic with our scouting setup and never searched Europe for talent. Weird.

Paul Mitchell, Newcastle United's Sporting Director, said: "We're delighted to get ahead of a number of other top clubs to sign Vakhtang.

"Scouting and recruiting emerging talent is an essential part of building a sustainable future, particularly within the current PSR framework, so the market is fiercely competitive.

"We continue to scout extensively, both domestically and overseas, with a view to securing players who can come through our talent pathway and, ideally, become part of the first team in future.

"We look forward to working with Vakhtang and wish him every success during his remaining time with Dinamo Tbilisi."

Mitchell pretty much alluded to that himself.
