Anthony Elanga: NUFC have bid of £45m rejected (Ornstein)

[JT24]

Big price that.

"Newcastle have other targets not in public domain" is going to be the line of the summer isn't it?

The point was you cannot be too reliant on stats. So the example was maybe stupid (as was intended) but the point wasn’t. Shame you couldn’t understand that but we shall move on 

No the point was you don’t understand expectations.

Imminent.

I can see this transfer saga taking a bit Elanga to complete.

It’s their way of covering bases if we sign someone they haven’t named.

Forest value him at £60m but "don't want to sell"

No it wasn’t  why are you wrongly trying to interpret my point ffs

All the local journos doing the same thing now. Reporting the exact same story but tweaking it ever so slightly to make it look like they had an idea when they don't have a clue. Douglas adding that it is £40 to £45m and Downie saying we have targets not in the public domain.

 

Other than Ornstein, none of them have a clue.

No chance imo, we can’t afford them and everything else we would need.

Then Pedro makes no sense, if we are after a RW, wich the Elanga bid tells us. Or we can believe Bailey (wich I do not) turning Pedro into a RW.

[Ikon]

I’m thinking about posting a tweet from Downie and Ornstein.

Confused by that part as well.

 

Personally think they'd sell at anything close to 60m

It makes no sense financially, we where never going to be able afford both surely ?

Yup, all these journos are getting the £60m fee from somewhere. Just seems like Forest negotiating as anyone would

[nufc123]

Almost everyone saying we have other targets, wich to me tells we are not going to dwell long with this.

But RW is a priority position wich the Elanga bid is a proof for, and we are advancing with Pedro if we believe the reports.

[Tsunami]

45M plus they can have the Greek lad back; he’s 20M right there.

[et tu brute]

Good move on he's not worth that never mind 10-15 million more

I like the idea of Elanga, providing we get someone like Joao Pedro in

 

Doubling down on Howe's style whilst adding some quality and guile through the middle 

 

Only question I have, will Elanga get the absolute best out of Tino when he moves back to RB? 

 

We've seen how effective Tino is on the left with a good LW to work with. I know Elanga is very 2 footed, but not sure how often he would be cutting in / making space for Tino to cause havoc

[Alberto2005]

I think we'll offer at least 50, I don't see why we'd think they'd accept 45m as a first offer.

We probably didn't.

Aye, I never really believed the Pedro one tbh, although if we got both we would be in a fantastic position.
