£30m +£5m seems more than fair given he’s into the last year of his contract. Brentford taking the piss with this one. They did exactly the same to Man U though so it’s to be expected 

Two years left. 1 + option

 

Someone has to go for this disaster. I’m just now sure who yet.

I thought it was a just a running joke that Eddie’s nephew was at the wheel.

It is understood Giles has held further talks with Newcastle's acting sporting director Andy Howe over the past 24 hours - but a deal is still to be reached.

I’m going to be sick.

Its not, and he is  Basically Eddies runner.

Can anyone speculate why our window looks like a complete shitshow? 

[McDog]

Offer 40M +10M in addons based on making the UCL Quarter finals. We get that far, fair play and here is your 10M.

Eddie having words with his big bro telling him to sort Andy out

Yeah there are no people at the top guiding the club.

Can't blame them though can you? They've already lost Mbuemo. Why give someone a fair price for Wissa? The whole point of them quoting £50m is to fend us off, or if we do pay it, then they can use that money to buy someone as good or better than Wissa. 

 

I'd be raging if we gave Isak to Liverpool for a fair price.

Still to much, 29 year old with 1 year left on his contract 

[The Prophet]

Still thinks this gets done, but nothing has been easy this window. Even the Elanga deal nearly collapsed at one point.

I’m going to put my neck on the line and say we will sign Wissa… I’m very very confident on this one.
 

They’re asking for £50m, but have a very unhappy player on their hands who won’t play for them again. We have “walked away / moved on” as a bargaining tactic, and in about a week a deal will all of a sudden be agreed for around £35m ish.

I don’t know why you guys insist on reacting like this to every tweet that gets put out like 😁

 

 

 

 

 If this is who we are we deserve what's happening to us.

I know exactly why. It’s about 3 posts above.

Because of our absent owners.

According to Transfrmarkt Andy Howe is 31. Experience previously working for Bournemouth.

Also, Andy Howe doing the negotiations. 

 

 

 

 

Don't let @JT24 see that bit about Andy Howe

Whilst I agree, desperate times require desperate measures. Unless most here are reading the situation wrong and everything is fine.

No Sporting Director and no CEO, with lads who are glorified scouts stepping up to try and fill the void.

What has happened to the club we all love?

[stozo]

I think people here are just generally getting a bit delirious with everything that is going on. Briefing media that we are moving on to other targets, after Brentford demand £40m for a 29 year old with a max of 2 years left on his contract and who is currently on strike to force a move, is a perfectly valid negotiating tactic. 

[Hanshithispantz]

"Hi Giles, I'm Andy Howe, nephew of Eddie Howe, Newcastle manager extraordinaire."

 

"Hi Andy, so about Wissa, we're not going to go lower than £50m."

 

"Well that's the thing, me and my uncle, Eddie Howe, Newcastle United manager, will not go a penny over £25m"

 

"It's still £50m."

 

"Well I think Eddie Howe, my uncle, would stretch to £30m." 

 

"50."

 

"He's my mam's brother you know, Eddie Howe, he'll go to £35m."

 

"Thank you for your time, Andy."

Will probably get us our man too, if indeed it's us he wants.

100% agreed. I think Wissa ends up here in the next fortnight.

It just qualified for the CL for the 2nd time in 3 years and won its first domestic trophy in 70 years.

 

Now its having a little trouble on the management side after the CEO being sick with cancer and our sporting director suddenly quit after supposedly clashing with one of our greatest manager ever.
