BergenMagpie Posted yesterday at 17:22 Share Posted yesterday at 17:22 Could see us leaking some news that our «war chest» is only at 100m as it’s been widely reported that we are ready to buy some players this summer. All the cartel clubs and their respective cuck clubs hate us as well so they’ll ask for silly money for any of their players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT24 Posted yesterday at 17:23 Share Posted yesterday at 17:23 Craig Hope (probably chatting shit) saying the club will spend around 100m this summer. Doesn’t really feel like enough does it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted yesterday at 17:23 Share Posted yesterday at 17:23 Apparently Kepa is available for £5m. Bargain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t really feel like enough does it? Last month he said it was £60m and we were willing to spend £60m of that £60m budget on Cunha. Yes, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

McCormick Posted yesterday at 17:32 Share Posted yesterday at 17:32 Based on nothing but feels, it’ll be shy of 150m imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted yesterday at 17:53 Share Posted yesterday at 17:53 Feels strange that any journalist would speculate as to how much we will spend when the club can't possibly know which targets they are going to sign or how much they will cost. For example signing Mbuemo for 65m would limit us slightly more, on the next signing, than spending 50m on Dibling would. I'd like to think we have enough to go and sign two quality players without having to start counting the pennies and beyond that we can start getting creative with player sales or even finding potential loan deals like we did with Hall.

khay Posted yesterday at 17:53 Share Posted yesterday at 17:53 I think one starter at CB/RW or maybe both if we can get the people we want. Then 2/3 other players that I'm hesitant to say are squad players but some might be or some might be young players like Tino and Hall we can get up to speed with plenty of games. Still think we are a few years away yet from seeing some youngster coming through to help with gaps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted yesterday at 17:59 Share Posted yesterday at 17:59 They did this in the first couple of seasons. Hope and Edwards spouting shite and then proven to be wrong. I don't listen to any of the fuckers and only take notice of signings, when they're at the training ground for their medical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They speculate like everyone else. Unless they say something non-vague like "Newcastle have bid for/spoken to", it's all just guesswork. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezertron Posted yesterday at 18:07 Share Posted yesterday at 18:07 I always thought it'd be more around 120m (with longstaff sale). How many times have a team spent $250 in a window? seems doubtful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memphis Posted yesterday at 18:09 Share Posted yesterday at 18:09 Journalists need to be very precise with their claims, specifically - is a £100m "war chest" representative of the total value of the deals, or what we're actually going to spend *this* summer? £100m could easily be amortized over a five year deal at £20m/yr (not including wages), so if we spend £100m this summer, that could end up being £500m worth of paper value. It wouldn't bc of wages, etc but you get the idea. That's an extreme example but that's why the specifics matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubteam Posted yesterday at 18:11 Share Posted yesterday at 18:11 It’s so long since we bought a player I won’t believe any transfer news until I see the player admiring the Tyne bridge from the quayside with Eddie and Bruno at his side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times have a team spent $250 in a window? seems doubtful. True but I’d expect close to 150m with barely any expenditure the last 3 windows and sales in Jan. I’m sure they’ll bring in some good players but 100m isn’t much really unless there’s some mega wheeling and dealing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely the latter. Partly because people don't really understand the former but mainly because if we were going to spend £400m that's going to generate a lot more clicks than saying £100m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted yesterday at 18:37 Share Posted yesterday at 18:37 Once again, different journalists stating different sums of money to spend, each contradicting each other. None of them know what we have to spend, we won't let on what we have to spend unless we're undercooking it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted yesterday at 18:42 Share Posted yesterday at 18:42 I think the genuine shock at the Mitchell decision earlier in the week is a signal of how little they're actually getting. Absolutely no-one saw that coming or even speculated he was leaving or about to leave. The leaks have dried up completely to the extent that they're either totally guessing and printing it OR they're printing the stuff the club have chosen to let them know. That's it. It's all either complete bullshit or club propaganda imo I'll not be believing a single word of it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GallowgatePigeon Posted yesterday at 18:49 Share Posted yesterday at 18:49 Fuck Hope, the cunt doesn't have a clue. File him in the same bilge riddled category as the Bald Nonce, Burnsie and Ryder as shite bags who make shit up.
