No it doesn't depend on the way you look at it I said other clubs were interested and you 3 said I was wrong and insulted me, but they were and he's in negotiations to sign for them. Roland yielded btw
I think we should stop the pointless bickering. It appears that PSG are interested, which then puts you as right (most likely, if Mercato are telling the truth). That suggests his preferred move was PSG, which is understandable, probably his agents preferred solution, the reason why he didn't want to come and has the added problem of making me and TT wrong. I'm pretty sure that covers it and we can move on. He's not coming to Newcastle, I'm glad he's not, time to put this to bed.
Okay so show me some concrete proof they are. Something reputable. Not speculation, not twitter, not sports witness or some bs clickbait site. A genuine article without the words "suggested, possibly, probably, believed to be"
Best you're gonna get is "Mercato are reporting PSG made a verbal offer which Reims rejected". Leave it at that, then if it turns out to be bollocks we can all complete rinse Chaos.
To be honest I am not fussed who’s right or wrong. It makes no difference because we are not signing him. I do hope we sign at least one forward player.
Ok so you've now gone full circle, so I will explain again what I figured out long before psgs Interest was confirmed by several journalists. You were on here only yesterday posting news about psg not paying the same fee btw.. You know I was right, but you've got so far in your brain is using a defence mechanism to find a way out of just saying.. Fair enough chaos but I still think he's a ****..
No doubt he looks great, I just think it's a year too soon with the added issue that he's just got Leverkusen into the CL. Personally think we should be trying to go for players one step before where Diaby is. Doku, for example. Same with CF - I expect they're surprised by the fee quoted for Isak. No doubt he's got talent, but up and down form and 'only' playing for Sociedad shouldn't come with £50m+ price tags. It's all ****ing PSG's fault. Those stupid daft twats completely ignoring FFP by signing Neymar for £200m completely ****ed everything, for everyone. Annoying they moved the transfer window back to 1st September. Thought that was particularly pathetic and spineless. This year there's going to be players moving around having already played 4/5 times for their club. Moronic. I ****ing hate football associations.
I'll be honest mate, City did that before them, Chelsea before them, Leeds before them, Us before them, Blackburn before us......it's always gone on. The thing that is now way out of hand is the agents fee's they demand from clubs. The agent is acting on behalf of the player and therefor should be paid by the player.
Of course you're not because you were wrong and wanted to insult the person that was right and then when that person was shown to be correct you just skip off saying you've moved on without acknowledgement or apology.
No you'll find there's alot more reporting it Including the specifics, but now I know how all 3 of your brains are working on trying to win a battle you lost last week. Not that I don't know the people im dealing with see screenshot for details
Okay I will use Le Parisian who stated on 28th June - As reported in Le Parisien this morning, Reims striker Hugo Ekitike (20) is not a player that Paris Saint-Germain are targeting this summer. According to the Parisian-based paper, PSG’s name is being used to drive up the young striker’s asking price. Also "There were suggestions that PSG have held talks with the forward for a move, but according to French daily Le Parisien, the rumours are baseless. Ekitike has not been on PSG’s radar this summer and no attempt has been made to sign him. PSG have a list of targets and the Reims striker’s name does not feature on their shortlist in the ongoing window. The Parisians believe their name has been used by Reims and his representatives to get more money from other suitors. It remains to be seen whether Newcastle consider rekindling their interest in Ekitike this summer."
Yes that was the 28th of June and all 3 of you came out swinging and taking the piss but unfortunately since then... Just a few I await your you to just yield but I know for you and GG it's reached a point where you're simply unable to confront this properly. Even today you when from trying to pass of the word interest as signing and then when that failed you've gone to its just news. Just admit you were wrong mate.. I was spot on all along...
You can be keen on two things but not when those two things are diametrically opposed to each other. You can’t be keen on joining both Newcastle and PSG because one precludes the other. In that case the only thing you are keen on is leaving your current club. I find a player who would ask for a better deal from a club he doesn’t want to come to a flawed character. He either doesn’t care where he plays - its only the money that matters, or he is using us to get a better deal from PSG. I suspect that maybe PSG are trying to get him on the cheap from Rheims because the agent has asked for more for the player or himself.
Sorry but that is just wrong you can be keen on moving to two jobs and therefore in two minds. Especially if one employer has a stronger interest, but isn't your ideal choice. Psg obviously stepped up interest and he was no longer as keen to join newcastle. Newcastle did move on at that point, but you'll not find any player with psg or a top club being interested in the same player as Newcastle will result in either losing out or paying more. That's just how it works until newcastle are established themselves.
So your admitting and therefor "yielding" that for 6 months we were in fact correct. I've proven the clubs you have mentioned had no interest at the point in time you started this. I've shown you proof that even PSG weren't interested on 27th June (story published 28th so giving you a day there). PSG DOF Luis Campos was only appointed 10th June. So you have been wrong for over 5 months and might have stumbled into a get out clause through sheer dumb luck. I have constantly said that if it came out that PSG were serious about him then I will tip my cap. I seriously don't care. I never ever wanted him. I think he's ****. I constantly said this but all we got was "people think they know better than NUFC scouts" No ......... sometimes people just know that if it's brown, and it smells like ****, looks like **** then there's a very high probability that if you taste it, you probably shouldn't be surprised if it's not chocolate.
