NUFC Transfer Rumours

They signed him for 100k in the summer apparently.

Correct. A giant who can play lcb or rcb and can develop behind Schär. I feel like RW would be a better winter signing than RCB though.  Having more than one option for a transfer and looking beyond the EPL.

Is he good the Lens player?

Suffers a bit of vignetting when he goes very wide. 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Depends on which way you look at him?

I haven't watched him but seems to be sound defending but not passing. He is only 20.

Pretty big news has been circulating about Tomori recently. Apparently he's ready to return to the Prem, having fallen out of favour at Milan. They are willing to let him leave in January.

 

The rumoured fee Milan are looking for is shockingly decent at 30 million Euros and his current salary will be easy for us to improve upon at around 80k a week.

If all that information is true. The deal is almost too good to pass on. Similar sort of profile to Guehi who we targeted in the summer.

 Guess it would depend if turning 27 in the next few weeks would take him out of consideration we have no idea if Mitchell will seek to bring the age profile down and target under 23s or if its deal specific.

It's a good point.

 

We did look at Tosin who is 27 this year too, but he was on a free and that was also prior to Mitchell.

 

I think for the reasonable fee and wages and for his title winning experience in Italy, champions league experience, previous Prem experience and much needed speed in the backline, I would do it personally.

 

Especially because I think he goes straight into the first team to partner Botman, as Schar is starting to drop off and looks more of a backup going forward.

Nico Wiliams

This would be a remarkable signing, but Newcastle United have the ability to bring Spanish sensation Nico Williams to the Premier League next summer.

The Athletic Bilbao star has a release clause of around £46 and, according to the Athletic, would be open to the Premier League move. Now of course that means several other sides will also be interested, with Liverpool potentially looking for a Mo Salah replacement for starters.

Yeah… Get him and Lamal too.

The Athletic deal sheet. 

 

“I know we hate the term ‘PSR’, but it’s what we have to work to,” Darren Eales, the CEO, said this month. “It’s unforgiving for us. We’re walking on a tightrope.”

 

Supporters may be sick of hearing about the constraints of PSR, but Newcastle’s executive team keep stressing how much their strategy is being governed by the financial rules, given they still cannot rival elite clubs for income. The owners insist they are committed to spending the maximum permitted under the rules — club sources point to the recent £35m investment via a share issue — but they are hamstrung in the short-to-medium term by their revenue.

 

Wages are a constant in the PSR calculation and, following pay rises for Gordon and Joelinton and with no high earners moved out, Newcastle must balance their cost base.

 

Mercifully, Newcastle are not in the perilous position of last June but outgoings are required — Newcastle lost £73.4m across 2022-23, which still features in the three-year rolling calculation. Selling fringe players, such as Almiron, should suffice this time.

 

If Newcastle do any significant business in January, further outgoings may be required before June 30.

 

Supporters point to Newcastle’s willingness to spend £50m or more on Guehi during the summer as evidence of a large transfer budget. Theoretically, they do have the capacity to invest, but any money spent almost certainly needs to be offset — and that would have been the case had Guehi signed.

 

It is in Newcastle’s interest to plead poverty but every indication is that PSR remains a genuine restraint. That, allied with the club’s viewpoint that summer windows represent better value, means they will be far busier in the off-season than in January.

 

It's going to a long January

[Joelinton7]

Yeah we’re not buying anyone for at least the next two windows without major sales 

[r0cafella]

Wonder how much we will have after 1st July.

[SUPERTOON]

What we can’t do is be in a position where we need to sell someone in the summer. Going into it we need to be the ones who hold all the cards, not like last summer where clubs could take advantage. If we have to sell a big name, at least let us be the ones dictating terms.

Funny you say that but if the athletic Are to be believed that was indeed our plan. Or else how could we have signed Guehi/Olise.

Yeah it’s the wrong way to go about it imo, of course bringing in extra revenue via sponsors would help, but I’ve given up on us doing that tbh.

I'm ok with it, as long as we do not sell Isak. 

 

Im assuming and this is a massive assumption that we haven't signed certain deals because we don't want the value to be tagged to a low number due to APT rules.

Maybe, surely we could sign deals now and change them if the rules are changed ? Obviously a very simplistic way of looking at it mind.

 

I also don’t mind if we have to sell someone, however I just think to get maximum value we would need to not be desperate to sell like last summer. Fwiw I think we will sell Barnes and that may give us enough to keep the others.

I think if we say anchor ourselves to a certain amount for say training ground sponsorship it will be difficult to argue it being worth say double the next time round. 

 

I think it's quite clear these rules will be staying in one form or another, despite our disdain and the odd media howl most of the league love these rules. 

 

im not sure on Barnes, I don't see us not losing money on him if I'm honest. Who can pay what we paid for him ?

On Barnes, I think someone would just based of some of the deals we have seen. Despite his limitations, he’s a goal scoring winger, you look at the likes of Andersen going to Fulham for big money so I think it’s definitely possible.

Yeah I hear you and see that. To be honest that Andersen deal feels more like an outlier these days than the rule. Most clubs have an eye on resale value. 

 

Let's see how it plays out, will be interesting either way 

[Keegans Export]

If I was a PL team in need of a left winger, Barnes would be very high up on my list.

 

Let's face it, if we didn't have Gordon, Barnes would be starting every game for us without question.
