Because ASM is a world class attacking player and Hendrick is a Championship relegation fodder player according to certain worshippers of ASM. Wish @Ben 10 would come back and defend HBA’s honour
Yeah, he keeps getting his name mentioned. Skillful and with good stats this season in a struggling team - has had Real Madrid and Barca interested. We could get him for a lot less than Maddison or Szoboszlai (€30million release clause apparently), but probably not quite as good as those two yet. It would certainly be a bigger gamble, as he has only just broken through at Celta. Bit of an Ekitike type risk.
He's barely played has a similar record to Gordon but everyone on twitter is absolutely buzzing about him. It's because he's Spanish I suspect, foreign names go a long way at Newcastle. I'll welcome any player that comes to Newcastle, but I won't get my hopes up about this lad just yet
I'll trust the club, but equally £40m sounds like a big gamble on someone who is relatively unproven. It's not like we have Chelsea level transfer kitty. That said, it's just media talk at this stage and I said I wouldn't get sucked in by press reports. And yet here I am...
Tbh, considering our track record over the previous windows, this has a 95% chance of being bollocks. A lad we have never even considered will be unveiled later. Perhaps Maddison is dead in the water, but certainly in my opinion a mistake by the club there.
For Maddison it all depends upon what the money comes to. I've read that he's after £250,000 pw. If true I'd look elsewhere as that would cause a big knock on effect in relation to the wages of the rest of the squad.
From what I read, that would be more than double the wages of Bruno. Matt Target btw is on 100 grand a week. Can you believe that
