Rick 2,282 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 For 12m we should be all over this with Trent moving into the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil 1,179 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 This would be very clever business by Newcastle. Good player in a crap side at Southampton. 12 million, even if he's a squad player that's good value for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero 5,267 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Quote Chelsea have a hefty sell on clause on Livramento - If Southampton sell for £30m, they would keep £18m. Chelsea would then earn £12m. (@J_Tanswell @TheAthleticFC) Go on Saints rinse them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey 3,767 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 £30m for someone who hasn't played in a year is daft. I can only assume that he can play left back or Trippier would be moved there. Not keen on the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that tweet just using the £30m in an example to show how the Chelsea sell on clause would work? Granted... they could have just used £10m or just put the percentage... but that wouldn't get the Athletic as many clicks as insinuating he'd cost £30m despite not playing in a year would.

Our local paper is saying Southampton are holding out for £30m I wouldn't put it past them to be victims of clickbait though to be fair. Our local journos have a reputation for knowing nothing.

Our local journos have a reputation for knowing nothing. I mean if I'm Southampton and I see a club owned by the Saudis wants one of my players and I see what the Saudi league is paying for players... I'm also going to ask for a huge amount of money. At the same time, I imagine they'd probably see a benefit in selling a player who's been out for almost a year with an injury that some players don't really ever come back from the same (sad VVD noises in the background for this sentence) as they hope to rebuild for promotion and will need to inject some new blood into the side... and Newcastle aren't in the Saudi league and tbf to them, look like they're trying to be more self-sustaining than other oil clubs. Isn't it strange how local paper sports journos seem to be so shit now? It doesn't seem that long ago that I used to disregard most transfer rumours and just look to see what the Liverpool Echo had to say about our transfer dealings because that was where all the journos who actually knew anything worked. Turns out... it was something like 15 years ago and since then good journos have been swept up by national papers or international ones like The Athletic and now the Liverpool Echo is just full of absolute nonsense. Any reliable journos working at non-local papers for Newcastle related transfers... or is it all just sensationalist guess work now? It's gotta be more sensationalist guess work for you lot now because you've got owners that can basically just print out money since they've got that black liquid coming out of the ground there... there's probably all kinds of bullshit they can spew that'll generate clicks. Neymar to Newcastle, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neymar to Newcastle, etc. Never thought about that but I think you're on to something about the good journos being snapped up. I bet local paper pay lags further behind than ever before. We've also got this problem where Ashey and co banned some journos. Wouldnt give them anything. So they had to go get other sources. Agents, players etc. Possibly part of bigger networks. Whilst locals were left either buying good will off the club or being left with nothing and looking crap at their job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeKhrush 299 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 seems a bit pricey but conversely if he reaches pre injury levels, we get a very young long term asset. if we can add Axel Disasi and clear out some dead wood it will be a good summer where we strengthened all areas needing attention.

Administrator Stan 18,412 Posted August 3, 2023 Administrator Share Posted August 3, 2023 Deal agreed. Would take their spending this summer to approx £140-150m. Last season was £175m approx. Season before was £115m approx. 3rd highest net spend in the last 5 seasons (behind Arsenal and Man Utd). Saudi money working wonders... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
