Don’t think we should go for any players that want a relegation release clause if they take us down they should stay and help the club back up.

Relegation clauses work both ways. Usually there's a significant reduction in salary upon relegation, and in return they get a release clause, don't they? That's how I thought it worked.
What difference does it make if we get relegated and they get reduction in wage, they got a release clause so they be hopping it and it won’t effect them.
That’s a very naive view of modern football.
It’s incredibly naive to expect young, foreign players and their agents to sign for a newly-promoted Premier League club and not be thinking about their future careers. A release clause in the event of relegation will be higher than the fee we pay for them anyway so it still protects the club’s investment. These players would also have relegation clauses in their contracts to reduce their salaries so it works both ways.
If you think we should only sign players who bleed black and amber to survive in the Premier League then yes, you are naive.
Give him an Elsa mask and Pete will do it.
I’m not saying I would pay to watch that but I’m not saying I wouldn’t
Didn't they try and sell us to that lot that ****ed Reading over?
I wonder if Kasper Hogh is on the list. Striker with FC Glimt who did so well in Champions League. Norwich bid £7 million for him in January Celitc wanted him too but then they went on the great run and he stayed. under contract until 2029. Another striker at the club though only 17 Mikkel Bro Hansen is on Newcastles radar.
Høgh scored a brace this evening.
Tbh, really hard to judge bødo players as individual signings. It's all about Kjetil Knutsen, turned average players into world class e.g. when they played Roma a couple of seasons ago and turns around the career of fading young players who've hit difficulties at bigger clubs. Players massively up their game when playing under him. He was given a free hand and total trust to create a football squad and so how players will perform when away from him is a bit of an unknown. Sort of like a more successful Graham Potter. He'd have had the piss taken out of him for being a primary school teacher in the UK and not got the respect from the players or media.
Sort of sounds a lot like Sergei.... players down on confidence, now become 10 times better... maybe Hogh would be good fit then..
Maybe Rosenior needs to go to one of the big Scandinavian clubs and try to overachieve in European competitions with them to get his career back on track.
I can see him going back to Ligue 1 - one of the smaller teams with lower expectations - Nice if not relegated or Auxerre eventually. He needs to improve his french though.
We were linked with Matija Frigan last summer and he previously played under Jakirović at Rijeka between 2022 and 2023. When Rijeka sold Frigan to Westerlo in July 2023, they had already signed his replacement in Franjo Ivanović a few weeks before.
Ivanović only played under Jakirović for a few games as Jakirović left Rijeka for Dinamo Zagreb in August 2023 but it’s relevant because you’d imagine Jakirović had some input in bringing Ivanović to Rijeka in the first place. Ivanović was later sold to Belgian club Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in August 2024 and he scored 23 goals and got 6 assists in 49 appearances in all competitions in the 24/25 season. This earned him a £20 million move to Benfica last summer and he scored 7 goals and got 1 assist in 38 appearances in all competitions this season.
Apparently, Benfica are willing to let Ivanović leave this summer, either on loan or for a similar fee they paid for him last summer. A loan with an obligation to buy if we stay up might be doable for us. He’s a good finisher, quick and athletic but he just didn’t seem to hit the ground running in Portugal the same way he did in Belgium. He was also second fiddle to Pavlidis for most of this season. I think that would be a good signing for City if we could pull it off.

24 games with 2gls 3 assists in Turkish league. Isn’t too bad but not great.
Can’t see him wanting to be here, too soft.
