    Pretty sure it will be around £5m with add ons to £8m. Decent fee, decent player.

    Will be interesting what Slutsky "supermarket is closed" will do for odds of Clucas to Newcastle

    Grosicki potentially staying is also a bonus. Think he could tear this division apart.

    I doubt it will be £8m, and we do need a midfielder with Hudd going. Meyler is still touch and go, who knows how long Mason will be out.

    Four or five defenders are more important though

    Evandro, Clucas, Henriksen, Meyler and Mason can all potentially play through CM, plus our kids like Batty, Clark, etc. CM really didn't need a whole lot of strengthening.

    So there is your starting midfielder pair, who do you replace them with if they are injured /having run of poor form/knackered after playing tons of game, sometimes twice a week

    Evandro? Meyler? Clark? Batty? You can't really suggest that having Stewart as third choice is worth spending 5m+ on instead of either relying on Meyler/Evandro/Clark or bringing in a FA and buying a CB, winger or fullback for 5m?

    We really do need a defensive midfielder. We only have Clucas who can comfortably play there. No idea how long Mason will be either.

    Eh? We just named 4 - Meyler, Henriksen, Clucas, Mason. On top of that we've got Evandro. If Slutsky is right and there's no more sales then I think the money could be spent much better in other areas.

    Evandwro and Henriksen are not defensive
    Meyler and Mason injured
    Batty/Clark ect not tested at this level.
    Clucas may still go (though I don't think he will.

    Course we need an additional midfielder

    We all whinged when Hudd went, not people complaining when we replace him

    Meyler will be fit for the first game of the season so not really injured.

    Stewart hasn't been tested at this level either.

    Who's injured and also questionable.

    I'm not sure Evandro will still be with us either.

    Again, Meyler is fit for the first game of the season.

    Stewart's highest level to date is League 1 and we're paying 5m + on him to come in and start in place of Huddlestone?

    Interesting that hardly anyone believes there will be no more sales.

    Like goalkeeper.











    I doubt I'll ever get bored of the old 'we need another goalkeeper' line.

    It's a timeless classic.

    I don't know, to me there's a difference between sales if that makes sense. I hope the only players to go now are people like Evandro, Diomande etc but that'll require us to have brought in enough
