Think this gets done now.

 

It does if he makes it clear he wants to come to Newcastle, which as he's a toon fan you would imagine he'd crawl over broken glass to get here.

[NSG]

Think this could fall into the “make funds available if the right deal becomes available” category.

 

Probably means no signings in January mind.

[STM]

30m sounds very much like a deal we can get done, if we can persuade Chelsea to defer the payment(s) via a loan or other hocus pocus.

Matt Targett to Forest for £15m once they shit the bed in January a la Wood and Shelvey.

I think January signings were possibly off the table anyway, barring some sort of emergency.

[STM]

I can absolutely see Targett moving on, if we secure Hall. There should be loads of PL clubs willing to give us decent wedge too.

I wasn't impressed with him home or away against us so I hope he's been class in his other 10 games.

According to Wiki he’s from Slough. 

[Zero]

If you could complete your work in the summer, don’t wait till January. January rarely gives you good deals unless it’s Gordon’s case

Born in Slough a year after The Office stopped airing.

 

Don't want him just because he reminds me of my own mortality.

Yeah struggle to integrate in January for younger players. I think if we are high up the league and still in champions league they will sign players in Jan anyway and gamble on it.

Watched a Hall comp. Looks a baller. Pass off both feet.  
 

Looks like he’s actually a midfielder. Don’t expect he can defend much. Very little first team football. 
 

Looks a real talent.  But anything over £20m seems excessive to me. 
 

The Miranda lad looks ready for first team football.   His highlights are full of actual defending. But shows some good ability going forward.  I like that he’s tall and seems a defender first.  I like Burns profile I just think he’s not great.  

 

For a young homegrown English player that is this young and didn't look out of place in a Prem game, with some versatility too, and still so much room for growth, I don't think £20 million would be a possibility.

 

It does mean though, as you say, that Burn/ Target mostly start this season, with Hall being more of a rotation player. 

 

Its an opportunistic signing for a seemingly top prospect though, so I can see the thinking, especially if the structure is favourable.

What’s our FFP wiggle room? Is it that we can’t make it work with the accounts for this period or more about the stress it would put on us to make it work over the next year or two?

 

It seems more likely that it's this period that's the main issue, rather than the years ahead when our revenue will be much higher than it has been in the past three year period.

So we will be able to go big again next summer?

[Viana]

Chelsea are probably looking at the Livramento fee as a guide post for someone with little Premier League experience but a lot of promises.

 

I think 20m plus bonuses might be the more realistic fee, but I don’t doubt Ashworth and co’s ability to strike a good deal if Chelsea are legitimately willing sellers.

I think that initial £160m or whatever it was outlay has gone from the rolling 3 years

I’ve only ever seen the U.S. version. 

[Pilko]

Would like Hall. £30m seems slightly steep but not ridiculous. Wonder if we could get away with 25+5 or similar?

[KaKa]

You may call me crazy but I think we should sign both Hall and Miranda.

 

Apparently Miranda can be had for less than £10 million.

 

Ideally we'd probably do this, but it would mean having to shift Target, which would be difficult I imagine.

Seen earlier they are in for Arsenal's Tavares, so maybe even this window!

 

I'm fine with keeping Targett though, think he'll get back to the form he first showed when he joined.

If we get Hall, is that out signings done? Thought we needed a RCB?

[chronicfc]

Or buy Hall and keep pretending to everyone we are struggling with FFP.

I reckon so. We needed a CM last Jan but the club spent on Gordon instead and seemingly hedged their bets on leaving the midfield signing for the summer. If we can’t get signings we want, it seems like the club will wait rather than go too far down the wanted lists. Think they’ve decided Lascelles will be fine as backup until at least the winter window now.

Imo we don’t need anything - anyone we sign is purely strengthening now.
