2020/21 ‘Summer’ transfer window thread

[Tobes]

Of course... You'll soon see.

It's just a matter of time

Setting aside the ludicrous narrative that you’ve literally made up about their imaginary involvement in your transfer business this window.

Do you not think they’d be setting their sights a tad higher than the likes of Demarai Gray?

No I don't actually.. Build the club slowly was to be the objective. It was never going to be the big sportswash we've seen at City or the one at Chelsea because the games changed. It was a 10 year plan and let's be honest the clubs a million miles away from competing for big names.

Wilson, Lewis, Fraser and gray were on the list of players they were trying to bring in, but there was also immobile and one or two more expensive ones..

There's conversations still taking place and PIF came back to the table. The legal challenge is for change of ownership, so victory is only a matter of time.

What evidence do you have of that? I’ll stick my neck out and go for absolutely none. You’re literally making **** up mate. Sorry.

Here’s the reality mate, they’re not currently stakeholders, they have no current financial input into Mike Ashley’s Newcastle. The end.

The actual intention of Ashley’s legal action won’t be known until as and when his lawyers issue a LBA to the PL. if his intention is to try and clear the way for the Saudis to come back and complete the sale, then that’ll be seen in the fullness of time.

Any action has no guarantee of success and the idea that you know both his intention, that it’ll definitely succeed and that the Saudis are somehow already involved now, based on absolutely nothing, is for the birds.

 

[Welshie]

He's very skilful, quick and direct... but his end product is too often lacking. It's mostly his decision making when he gets into the danger zone .. tries to shoot when he should / could pass and will often go past his man with ease only to then over hit the cross or put it out for a goal kick.

Very frustrating because he has bags of skill and can score the odd screamer. He has slipped down the pecking order at our place and really does need to go somewhere where he will get game time. There is a player in there alright... but he really needs to step up.

Sounds like St Maximin.

I'd obviously have him because of his raw talent and age, would be a nice addition.

But, I'm not particularly convinced we need him at all. I want us to grab a proper holding midfielder. Should be priority

 

[Welshie]

I saw that dimwit The True Geordie talking about a "Saudi shortlist." As soon as that muscled up ape started about it I knew it was nonsense.

The Saudis hired scouts, made a list, emailed it to Ashley pay pal'd him 100 mil and said "sign those, we'll be there in a bit."

Sounds like utter ****ing dribbling ****e to me, tbph.

Traore & Sarr are the same, is there much you can do about the decision making though?

It sounds like utter tripe as it is utter tripe mate.

 

[Fox Mulder]

It's always the same faces isn't it.. The faces that told me I was an idiot when I said its still with the premier league.

I don't watch the true Geordie

 

[Fox Mulder]

Any transfer links? If you want to tell yourselves pif aren't back in or talk about the takeover there's a thread for that.

What, the same PL who denied that out of hand that was the case, and who reiterated that their previous statement on the issue was how it was, them?

The idea that you’ve got some kind of inside track on this debacle is complete bullshit imo. You just read every tweet and comment and decide that ‘it’s happening’. You flip flopped back and forth on this issue literally every day for months. Now you’re trying to make out that you’re some form of ITK, **** off mate.

I was adaptive throughout would be my reason for that.. Simply holding a position for or against would've been ignorant imo

I heard something from someone who works for the club who had close relations with Charnley and someone at the council... Thats the truth mate that's why I held the position its still with the premier league and not over despite the statement when they withdrew

It was still with the premier league I still believe this will go through.. I could be wrong, but I'm entitled to hold my position.

 

[Commachio]

When pif withdrew a list of players they were after was reported.

The list contained all the players we've signed and immobile who came out saying we'd tried to sign him, so it appears the list was accurate or just a miraculous guess.

I dont think you're an idiot pal, but on this I think you're overthinking it all.

For me, I look at Ashleys business model at Frasers a model he has adopted over the past few years and find it very interesting he now operates at Newcastle in a similar fashion.

Through purchasing Game, Firetrap, Everlast he has doubled the revenue for Frasers compared to Sports Direct.

Ye don't need to be ITK, Steve Bruce tells us whats happening. Ashley is just spending more money because his company makes more money, flexing his muscles.

As I've said until I'm blue in the face, Ashley has a company richer than Evertons owener and King Power, on par with Spurs owners

There's no excuse that we can't compete financially, signing a few players Villa and the likes had their eyes on should be a standard and doesnt indicate Saudi interest.

You can hold any opinion that you want mate. Only what you can’t do, is make assertions that you claim are factual without having anything whatsoever to back them up, and not expect to get called out for it.

Like your imaginary Saudi list

Sorry I wasn't really having a dig it was meant to be funny.. I am an idiot to be fair, but I'm holding my line.

 

[FosseFilberto]

You can coach it to a degree... lots of match footage to demonstrate... the problem is that many footballers aren't that bright ... bit of a generalisation there, I know, but true nonetheless...

What the **** is this ****e. Saudi Blackdoor transfers for Burnley and Leicester players?
