Administrator Stan 18,363 Posted September 1, 2020 Administrator Share Posted September 1, 2020 Pretty sure earlier this summer Bournemouth valued him at approx £40m? @Harvsky do you reckon Ritchie might be interested in going back down south to Bournemouth so Newcastle are willing to use him in a deal?

He'd probably go if forced. £40m for a 1 in 3 striker who turns 29 this season. Fuck me. I'd give them £16m tops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey 3,767 Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 One thing being touted is that we'll bring in Ryan Fraser on a free to replace Ritchie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m surprised he hasn’t already signed with a new club tbh. Yeah he was a bit shit last season (Bournemouth were as a whole though), but in the years before that he was one of their standout players imo.

I think Ashley is happy if you finish 17th, there's no ambition or interest there for him in Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without doubt the case for the last decade. The asset price doesn't go down if the club is in the Premier League and it barely goes up if it finishes 7th. Spreadsheet champions every year.

Honey Honey 3,767 Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 Apparently he wants to be closer to Aberdeen, but he'll still have to get on a plane. Aberdeen is about a 4 or 5 hour drive from Newcastle. Maybe no flights from Southampton to Aberdeen and he had to drive to London first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one airline, Eastern I think, that flies to Aberdeen from Southampton. It's a pretty limited service mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentford seem to be moving the goalposts with Ollie Watkins and pricing everyone out of a move for him. Villa were heavily rumoured to be signing him but must have had enough of the nonsense. Given he is better than anything Villa currently have, I dont think that's a bad price. Can't believe Newcastle won't pay that when all they have sitting in the wings is Joelinton, Gayle and the Japanese lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to be a fly on the wall in that boardroom and hear why you can't justify that but will happily spend more wages on a defender you don't need.

Danny 2,201 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Yeah word is that we’re looking for around £28m for Watkins and Villa aren’t buying so looking at Wilson...one of those “meh” signings I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
