Geordie_once_removed Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 2 hours ago, The Prophet said: Hope update on transfers: We don't intend to sell Osula, although his agents may push for fresh terms. We like Delap, but Chelsea don't want to sell and he doesn't want to leave, so we've moved onto other targets. Bayern have contacted us over Gordon, but there's a gap in valuation as big as £20 million. Woltamade wants to stay, but he wants a more prominent role in the side. If true, I'm happy with all that. I still have visions of the promised land of a big man, wee man pairing of Woltemade and Wissa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bayern really has contacted us, which I doubt, then Gordon is as good as gone. He will push for that move and we will agree somewhere in the middle. Whatever that is.

Mike Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 15 hours ago, KaKa said: Looks like Darwin Nunez is going to reach an agreement to be released on a free from Al-Hilal. Chronicle has mentioned Newcastle's long standing interest and possibly going for him this summer. Are we signing him so he can't score vs us?

alexf Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 People saying a free transfer is a no brainer are forgetting we have a strict and tight wage structure. Isn't there a rule about revenue vs wages ratios? Nunez was a £70m big striker summer signing for, at the time one of the big 2 clubs in the country along with City. He would have been on mega money at Liverpool and then probably doubled that of not more to move to Saudi. So even if he halved his wages, he'd probably be way clear of our highest earner in Bruno but the ability level of someone like Osula but with less potential. Plenty of risk there for me even if there is no transfer fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
