Lloyd Kelly set to join Juventus on loan with a £20M obligation (Ornstein)

[aussiemag]

If Kelly's transfer fee is for next season, that wont allow us any move to spend this season other than saving on his 150000000 pound a week wages. 

[cubaricho]

This needs to be 20.

[cubaricho]

Also good as fuck for him man. Turin sounds dope. 

[Sibierski]

Glad Kelly is off. He’s very average, offers nothing to us and would’ve just been a tough body to get rid of in future. This has Mitchell finger prints all over getting rid of players for good fees that don’t improve the XI.

[Holmesy]

Was this always a tactical signing for PSR reasons? Sign him on a free and sell him for pure profit?

I don’t see how we would agree to a conditional loan where the obligation conditions aren’t more or less certain to be met tbh. There’d be nothing in it for us if we did that.

 

 

 

It’s probably one of those that’s easily achieved, like ours for Hall. So basically Juventus finish top 10-12 they make it permanent, which will happen.

No. Think it was a player Howe wanted, was low cost and turns out to not be any good. So Mitchell as part of evaluating squad likely worked with Howe and marked him as one of many to be sold within 12 months if a deal is there.

 

Almiron / Willock / Longstaff / Trippier / Wilson / Kelly / Targett / Krafth. They will all be the ones that are moved on by end of August 2025.

Slightly concerned at squad depth, but happy if that’s the price.

 

We’re historically really bad sellers. Good deal all round.

Not done yet:

 

 

 

Lloyd Kelly theme. Contacts between Juventus and Newcastle have resumed to resolve the gap on payment terms. The private flight booked for the English defender has been delayed by a few hours. The deal is not yet 100% closed despite the verbal agreement reached between the clubs yesterday evening

Facts. But judging by  twitter people  and here (i know) people are dancing and demanding a signing after getting a fee for miggy and kelly 

The conditions will be met it’ll be something small to protect all parties. Wasn’t wood something daft like 2 games?

[loki679]

It has to be conditional to allow it to be booked in next seasons accounts iirc. If it's a straight obligation then it's counted as a sale and the costs would be booked immediately. That's why there's always some bullshit 'conditions' like 'Player must have two legs on June 30th' (probably would want to change that for Siem de Jong but you get the drift). 

[MagCA]

Another wrong here we go from concerning Newcastle United?

 

Talk about washed.

We could do a loan with an obligation as well, in theory.

[Displayname]

Hard to turn down a profit on this guy based on what he has shown during his six months here. Selling to desperate teams in January might be the winning strat going forward

[Geordie_once_removed]

Can't feel strongly either way here. He's a great addition on paper but has been fine to poor when on the actually on the pitch for us. I do wonder what the club's plan for back up is long term as without him we have Targett who I think will be off in the summer if not before and an aging Burn who was too slow to be a Premier League LB as back up to Hall.

[The Butcher]

[The Prophet]

Can't see I'm fussed if he leaves or not. Benefits us either way really.

[McCormick]

I think he’s much better than he’s shown so far and a versatile option in a pickle but can’t baulk at 15m headroom should we get rid.

[madras]

Is the obligation based on games or anything ? 

Personally I think 15mill is low but it may show how desperate we are to get cash in for other areas.

[The Butcher]

15m for a 3d choice LCB and 2nd/3d choice LB is pretty decent mind.

And Edwards' entire MO is to just say things aren't going to happen, knowing that he'll 'right' at least half of the time.

It's more about the engagement he'll get, as opposed to being right.

[KaKa]

Juventus are playing that Renato Veiga from Chelsea at centre back today.

 

Currently losing to Empoli at home. Conceded after 4 mins.

 

Should try and get an extra £5 million out of them!

 

[MagCA]

Would appear the flight that was supposed to take him to Turin has had the status moved to “Unknown” and a new flight plan showing Newcastle to Augsburg at 1pm. 
 

Deal off?
