SteV Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 7 minutes ago, Bunk Moreland said: Very reliable source for Dutch players iirc. Says on his Twitter he thinks the fee would be below 40m. Yes please! With one year left on his contract it wants to be a canny bit below £40m! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikri Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Haven't we been linked with him in previous summers? I'm sure his name has come up before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton are likely to finish above us and we don’t have that pedigree yet without Europe. It’s a shame we need a major rebuild the summer we have no European football. We are going to have to think outside of the box this summer. Bigger club, better manager, better players, recent trophy win, recent Champions League football, a much more ambitious project, higher salary.

We looked into it last summer according to the Dutch reports I think. Guessing Brighton probably wanted similar to what Palace wanted when we went in for Guehi though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a huge step up though our goals next season will be top half same as Brighton, he could easily get in the Liverpool or Man U team. Arsenal love to sign centre backs too.

Infinitely Content Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) Of course if Liverpool come in, or Man U even it's going to be hard for us to compete there - but there's definitely reason to leave Brighton for Newcastle. We're a better club by pretty much every metric imo. Also our goal for next season will not be top half, I'm almost certain of that, it will be top 5.

Turnbull2000 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Goal next season should be qualifying for Europa League and winning it. Our income, sponsorships and infrastructure aren't really conducive to top 5 ambitions. It should be considered a financial bonus only if it happens.

We pay higher wages and have a higher ceiling than Brighton. One season finishing below them doesn't change that.

That's not what I'm saying (or trying to say). I'm saying we are similar to them when a player is considering us or Brighton, the same way the players mentioned were considering us or man utd/chelsea. We are a clear step up from Brighton.

Kimbo Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I think if we had Ronaldinho half the talk would be about how he’s no Cabaye. If I was Gordon and saw the way fans talk about me I’d probably fuck off at the first opportunity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) We must've been linked with about £600m worth of player so far Suppose we've been asking around and/or you throw enough shit at the wall something will stick. Not that I expect these journalists (agents) to give a shite about truth or accuracy. Edited April 14 by Casey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
