kingxlnc Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago If we get that level of player, would be ok with Wilson signing an extension as backup assuming Osula would be number 2 and Wilson no. 3 Pedro can play up front but not sure Simons can Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Brighton fans don't think we'll be far off with the Pedro bid, but they need to mitigate Watford's sell on clause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago My main concern this summer is the fact other clubs know we've got cash to spend. As soon as we make any kind of bid then then the price goes up immediately. This happens anyway but I think it's even more pronounced as they know they can hike the price up and up and up and we're either forced to pay it or move on to the next in the list. Getting deals done at reasonable price is virtually impossible when they know NUFC is the buying club. I don't blame them but it's definitely an issue we need to contend with Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always knew the Pedro fee would be high, its a fair start. If we are really interested we will come with a second. This^ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Brighton will sell Pedro at that price if no one else matches it. They’re desperate to get rid. We shouldn’t be pushing the bid too high. If those disgusting vermin at Chelsea want to bid stupid money for him then so be it. Vile rodents Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago 23 minutes ago, andycap said: Reijndeers under fifty million Cherki under fifty million Frimpong under fifty million This is a ridiculous post. It's a fairly common concept that the bigger fish will get the better deals because the clubs who are selling have very little in the way of resistance. How on earth were Newcastle supposed to get ahead of City or Liverpool for those deals? We cant even get ahead of Man United and their dog shite. In fact, how do you know that they weren't targets in the first place. It's been widely reported that we were in for Delap, but Chelsea would offer him a bigger wage than us and possibly a guaranteed spot in their side. The reality is that "bargains" are very hard to come by, because guess what? Everyone else is looking at those players too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much harder to find these bargains when you're 5th looking to break the top 3 or 4, than if you're bottom-half trying to reach the top 8. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't blame them but it's definitely an issue we need to contend with What big club doesn't have this problem? Liverpool have paid what id consider a premium for each of their signings. Leverkusen rightly took them to the cleaners. The actually issue is that while certain clubs can pay that premium, we've got the threat of PSR looming over us. 2 years ago, under Staveley, we'd have likely already paid what these clubs are asking. Understandably we are being more thoughtful now. It trickles down too. Don't think Howe will let Willock or Longstaff go without feeling like hes really got the most back on them. Be thankful that we are being over quoted on good players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
