Mags embarrassing themselves yet again

quite pleased for them actually, quick google and the bloke looks like he has a good business head on his shoulders...they probably would have liked people with a bit more financial clout to back them of course but i think they will be happy enough with this takeover.

 

Wonder how they are going to justify £12m fee + £30m wages for a 31 year old who played 58 games in 4 seasons for spurs...with no resale...

I'd be staggered if it was only £12m anarl. Atletico are notorious hard cases in the market, and one way or another, they will get more out of them.

 

£100k a week, two and a half year contract equates to £13m. Don’t know where the £30m has come from?
Not going to keep us up single handed, but could be a catalyst for others to sign. Decent buy imo.

 

144k a week is being reported. Regardless, 12 million for Trippier is very good business. He's a level above a relegation battle but I couldn't see him getting in any of the top 8 teams. I guess this is the slow gradual build you're starting on, now.

 

Probably the fact he's an England international, and a La Liga winner with Atletico.

Decent signing for Newcastle, rivalry aside.

 

£100kpw or more for a lad who will be 33 next year? Suppose they have plenty money to waste but it's not a great model - hoovering up 30+ cast offs from other side and giving them huge contracts

 

He turned 31 in September. He's just won the league with Ath Madrid and made the team of the year. Hardly a cast off. Its a great signing for them. No doubt about it.

They just need to survive this season and a few more like him through the door and it will pretty much make sure of that barring a massive injury crisis.

 

I'd call him a decent signing and no more than that. Just because he played in a Madrid side that won the league doesn't automatically make him a superstar, Don't forget he couldn't get into an average Spurs side for the couple of years before he left for Spain

 

He's probably the best player they've got now so for them rather than in the context of the Premier league, I'd say he is a great signing.

 

His hamstring will ping during his first lengthy dash

 

I hope so

 

We can but hope, both would be better and his shoulders pop out as he falls to the ground in agony

 

If he's on 100k, or as the Telegraph has it 130k, then he will be thier best paid player by miles. Probably at least double what their best two players are on. And no doubt with a very hefty signing on fee, and the same for his agent.

I'm sure all the other players , and their agents will be delighted and not be envious or resentful in the slightest.

Though it could be of course that they would in any event, turn down any extra money which might come from a State which kills for fun, persecutes and discriminates against the vast majority of people who live in that there, and is on record as having complete contempt for Western culture and it's values.

 

Wonder how his new owners like the idea of his mrs having what appears to be a tadger are

It's literally the first signing of the new ownership at Newcastle, it's hardly 'hoovering up 30 year olds'.

 

Give it a month
