I’d be more concerned if Howe wanted to turn down £20m for him.

That headline still feels unreal everytime i read it, just a few months back i saw Wimbldon's striker get the best of him most of the game, and now he is going to play in the back for a team that had some of the best defenders in football history playing for them for years

[ponsaelius]

When we signed him in the summer Botman was crocked and Hall hadn't yet cemented himself in the team. As a signing he made a lot of sense at the time on a free to cover both positions.

 

Circumstances have changed and he's become an overpriced player (in terms of wages) contributing little. It's a very good opportunistic sale to get this money back now.

I doubt Mitchell has just flogged him off without some input from Eddie

I suspect Howe is more than happy with that money.

 

Most likely an agreement Howe is gutted in public so Mitchell can be the bad guy in terms of the squad shake-up. After all, some of the players are losing their friends and changing their lives by moving them on.

Stella bit of business this - £20mil flip

[Danh1]

Can understand concerns about Almiron leaving potentially meaning we’re a bit light but I feel we have more than adequate cover at the back for this one. From the (admittedly little) we’ve seen of Kelly, to turn down £20 million pure profit would be ludicrous.

Eddie implied recently that Big Willie could play RW if needed.

I wasn’t aware of that but good to know. 
 

I am not against Almiron going by any stretch fwiw. Think both sales are good business. 

[HayDen Traces]

Can see us doing same with DCL in summer. Sign him on a free and flip him for a profit 6 months later

We will be back to three keepers on the bench again. 😂

Wish there was keeper tops with short sleeves on sale, be all over a Ruddy shirt if so.

Better they put out stills of him on a treadmill in a vest than highlights of him v West Ham.

Feels like a new signing

Ruined Fifth Element for me with those pics

£20M for a Newcastle United back up, who's played for Bristol City and Bournemouth, from none other than Juventus. 

 

I must be going mental, cos none of that makes any sense at all
