Transfer Rumours The “What the F**k’s the point in another transfer window thread- Winter 2025 Transfer thread

They've paid Kelly 150k a week to just be happy to be here and never complain about a damn thing.

 

He’s not even of interest, I don’t believe. We don’t take these risks.

 

Stupidest ****ing deal since the takeover. And I include Barnes in that.

 

I don't think he's our type either.

Macatee and dibling are though

 

Cross David off... a few **** clubs that don't have a better striker have gone in for him on a pre contract

 

I assume Wilson's will rarely play again for us, if ever, and Osula hardly seems like a first team player yet.

We need another striker, and if we can get him for £50m, it seems decent for a proven Prem striker.

 

It's a no from me

 

Proven to be not good enough for Liverpool apparently. And we'd likely be strengthening them by giving them a wedge to improve on their mistake.

 

Craig Hope as much as dislike him has explained why this window is purely for sales.

 

If it's to generate transfer funds and free up the wage bill, then I really don't mind.

So long as we can put it to good use in the summer.

 

Basically Newcastle are still in the same position as the summer and that won't change until the second account period starts this summer and not before.

It's all about avoiding any sanctions and being in the best position possible to go again in the summer.... that's something to look forward to.

I'm sure people will moan regardless, but that's the top and bottom of it.

 

Fair enough. It is what it is. As I say, if we can put it to good use this summer, with some decent signings, then all is fine.

 

People just get a hard on for new signings and have an 'anything will do' attitude like a coke head on his last run from an unknown source. they get a packet, feel relieved, but then soon realise the gear is **** and wish they'd waited for some better gear.

There's always a minority voice saying wait, but nobody listening.

 

The same position as the summer being what?

 

They had to sell players before the deadline to avoid issues.

All about the summer it appears.

 

How is our pursuit of Guehi explained then?
Where was the cash for him coming from?

 

This is quite funny given palaces anti Saudi flags.

They'll try to wriggle out of it

Another vote for us around a table though hopefully

 

I agreed to buy some half time pies on my next visit.

 

Not about moaning, really, it's clear to all that we are hamstrung not by our owners but by the league/cartel. All I'd appreciate is clarity, really, in terms of basic numbers. How do we "sell" £65m of players, big £65m for Guehi, then actually not have any money?

I presume now with all finances published it's easy to work out who has what to spend, so not even a case of smoke and mirrors. Would be nice if someone could just spell it out - PSR means this, NUFC have spent that, revenues are £xxxx so can only spend £yyyy until Jul 1st.

The PL has proper ****ed a lot of the joy of football. Jan window the latest victim of their desperation to preserve the status quo. Like that Palace news, if I were a Palace fan knowing what's happened at NUFC, I wouldn't even bother reading it, as there's nowt they can do. Even if Bezos, Musk and Gates set up a new sports investment firm, they'd still be in the loan market.
