Karl Darlow from Newcastle Utd £400k Joe Rodon from Spurs on loan Joel Piroe from Swansea £12m DJed Spence from Spurs on loan Glen Kamara from Rangers £4m Ilia Gueve from Werder Bremen £5m Today we are expecting Gyabi out on loan, maybe Gelhardt and Hjelde gone. We are hoping to keep Sinisterra, Gnonto and Summerville but it’s the last day and anything can happen. Strange move of the week was Roberto Mancini accepting mucho dinero to take charge of the Saudi National team. This was the man who was doing a rebuild job for Italy and doing some good work and finding Gnonto etc. then he strangely jacked it in a month ago and can’t find out if he had a sordid past coming out, he just fancied jacking or was he tapped up by the Saudi’s? Anyway the other strange thing about this is that Mancini’s first game in charge will be at the barcodes St James’s Park against Costa Rico. Will gobshyte Shearer still be talking about Sports Washing. Is Newcastle now the capital of Saudi national football? What have the Premier League or FA to say about this? The truth is that FIFA, UEFA, FA, BBC, Sky will say nothing about cheating under FFFP rules any more now. Gone are investigations into Chelsea, Man City as Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Saudi Arabia have basically bought football. The Saudi Kingdom owns golf as of earlier this year and now they own football too. People still mention Man City being cheats but the truth is that whatever happened in the time of Mancini, today City do great business in the transfer market. Last season Haaland and Phillips and more come in but City made a net profit on transfers of £65m. This summer they have spent £170m so far but have also sold £112m and more to sell, so whichever way you look at it they only spend what they need and sell to cover the costs so are miles ahead of the curve in FFFP terms and compared to the way we did our transfer business we are a joke as are Chelsea who have spent £1bn since the new yank bought the club. Yes a billion and how can that be within FFFP rules? The Champions League has already thrown up tensions within the UEFA ranks simply because this time we have a Qatari club up against a Saudi club (PSG V Newcastle) and UEFA dictates that matches are available to watch, but as we know BeiN Sports is banned in Saudi Arabia as its Qatari owned, and remember one of the reasons the Premier League refused to sanction the original Newcastle sale was because of Saudi pirating….
The club have, not me mate. Rutter was the best player on the park last week and won MoM plus he scored a great goal. So he is a striker ….
Still no confirmation but Romano is usually never wrong, so Sinisterra going to Bournemouth, maybe. Earlier today he told fans at TA he was staying. FARKE also said he would be surprised if at this late stage He would lose any of Summerville, Gnonto or Sinisterra. He also said it would take something exceptional to allow Sinsterra to go. But everything mentioned so far is a loan which makes no sense. Then we have the legal issue with Sinisterra lawyers who insisted the relegation release clause wasn’t time limited, we said it was and the time has run out. So who the hell knows what’s going on here. How is a loan (if true) and exceptional offer?
would Sini lie to fans? bit of a cnut if he has. I see it as a no deal at a loan what benefits does it do for us as a club? god knows what's his contract situation is but if he has said he's staying when leaving the training ground surely that means he isn't asking to be away so a loan deal would make no sense. all I know as every hour goes by he's closer to staying. If Bournemouth are serious about taking him pay the asking rate or do one. they aint getting him on the cheap we don't play that game anymore well I hope so. 5 hrs 20 mins to go. I just wish the club would come out with something but again we don't do that these days do we going to be a nervous last 5hours.
The only loan deal that makes sense is if its a loan with an obligation to buy. It's just a way of getting around FFP. If we got a £2million loan fee with £35 million next summer it balances the books for us for an extra year. FFP this summer looks OK and a £35 million fee from Bournemouth next summer for Sini would give us big funds to go again if we don't go up. If its just a plain loan deal then it's terrible news for us. We lose our best player, his contract is a year shorter and we don't get financially rewarded from him leaving. It would be a right kick in the nuts basically.
Still to be announced but hearing Gyabi has rejected Fleetwood and gone to Swansea. Gyabi and Fleetwood was a straight loan but not sure on Swansea as Valencian came in earlier with a cash to buy offer?
He's going Doc simple as. only way he doesn't if he fails the medical lots of people now saying hes in the middle of his medical.
Forget Sini. It can't be long until we unveil our ****ing left footed ****ing left back. I wonder who it is? please log in to view this image
Going back to the OP on Saudi taking over football, anyone else noticed how the BBC are now showing us results from the Saudi Pro League? Wonder why all of a sudden, how much did the BBC get paid because remember not so long ago the BBC were calling out the Saudi Royal family and did stories on sports washing etc. tonight I discover Benzema scored again but Mitrovic scored a hat trick against Benzema team
Issues between Leeds and Bournemouth over Sinisterra. Odds an hour ago was 1/8 he goes to Bournemouth. Now it's even money either way. This might fall through yet. I'd piss myself if we got Kieffer Moore on loan. Jammy would be gutted.
