So how much do you think Swansea will tag on to the asking price now? Is it: A. Nothing because it's a separate transaction? B. The exact amount in dispute for Martin? C. A **** tonne more because we pissed them off? I'll go out on a limb here are say I don't think it's A or B.
Because we're from the south of England, they'll charge us double what they would a club from up north.
Fine, let them try it and walk away. If we’re basing our whole season on being able to get a couple of players from Swansea, I’d be worried!
Saints wanting around £30m, Newcastle starting at £15m plus add-ons. It's come from Luke Edwards initially, so definitely been put out there by Newcastle.
Was hoping we might keep Livramento due to hardly featuring this year, but appears not. Interesting to see what sort of fee we can get
CL football, back in the PL, and a pay increase. Hard to say no to really. Something around £25 million would at least soften the blow a bit.
Whilst our model is selling players on for profit so we will naturally lose a few, this is what happens when you get relegated. JWP, Lavia, Tino, KWP would all likely stay for another season if we stayed up, unless we got absolutely mental money. Such a shame to lose talented players so soon after signing them - thats all on SR!
Yep. If we sell for £12m we have lost the plot. Genuinely think Gao was a better owner than this lot so far
Nobody has? It's been reported by the Newcastle mouthpiece that Newcastle hope to get him for that price. Which they won't unless there's something really horrible in his medical records.
I never said anybody had - sanctions is a future tense word. If somebody had, I'd have said sanctioned. Pedantic hat off.
I think there is a good chance Tino will stay at least until Jan. Then depending where we are in the table, how well he has played and whether Newcastle have progressed to the knock stages of the Champions League, he may well leave.
The Athletic painting a bit of a different picture - via David Ornstein and Jacob Tanswell. - Newcastle have approached Saints - Saints would like Livramento to stay - Tino is happy at Saints and has been focusing on his rehab No mention of prices or TL asking for a move at this point. Certainly doesn't sound like it gets done at sub-£20m.
