"Too far norf" again. West Brom probably allows him to live in his existing pad on Merseyside and he's familiar with the area.
So he doesn't fancy being our 1 up top week in out? ****ing shock !!!! I was secretly hoping that the rumours we were after him weren't true, i'm still not sure if they were or not (probably not). He's made of ****ing glass and he'll be in the treatment room within a month. He certainly ain't worth £4m in wages until the end of the season in my opinion, and clearly Charnley's as well
Not sure how it would be £4m in wages. I get about £2.6m if he's on £120k/week assuming the wages would be paid up till end of June, but then I have no idea of what the loan fee would be. It's a choice between a gamble like that for a few million versus just seeing Joselu up front for the rest of the season and probably losing £130m TV income.
not sure why i was thinking a million a month (doh). He was never in the picture to come here on that sort of salary like. Charnley wouldn't pay that for 3 players wages never mind 1.
Solid work from Pardew. If they get Schurrle that would be some window from the silver fox. Schurrle and Sturridge choose Pardew over Rafa. Our Rafa fanboys will never get over it. Its the money no doubt... Sturridge didn't even show up for the meeting once he knew silky Alan was involved.
Couldn't argue with that. tbh we'd be going nuts if both turned up at SJP and rightly so, massive upgrades on what we have although I do agree with @cronemeister Sturridge would manage about as much time as Mitro on the pitch.
BENITEZ STILL CONFIDENT OF LANDING STRIKER Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez has still not given up hope of landing the striker he desperately wants with the January transfer window entering its final few hours. "We have some time and we have an important game tomorrow, I will not talk about the window. I will concentrate on the game and ensure we will not lose focus on that," Benitez said in his press conference today. "We still have time I am confident we can do something. I will not spend too much time speaking about that. "Yes, we are working on names and we have worked for one month, longer than one month. The last month we have worked on the names we had on the list, we still have some time."
The way it reads we make up a list of names that we like and then see if we can find a player who actually has that name. Not surprising it's taking us so long to find the ones we want.
What else can he possibly say? Of course he has to remain confident we can still get a body in, but let’s be honest about it. If past experience is anything to go by, our business is done already.
Yes, but what is the list of names for? They could be the list of traffic wardens working down at Houghton-Le-Spring for all we know.
So basically we are in for a Joselu 2.0, but still as **** so by 2.0 I really mean -0.5 It’s not ****ing rocket science is it Schurrle clearly is being touted Big SAM has said he wants to shed a few players ****ing loan in Schniderlin and Ramerez get Schurrle in on loan, pick up the phone ask the clubs what they want for them and offer it! And if they can be arsed to put a bit more effort in try and sign a Dembele or I’d even take a Jorgensen at this stage! We cannot be left with Joselu Ffs at this rate I’m going to start a supporters trust get everyone to chip some cash in and personally kick Ashley and Charney out ****s
We can only loan two PL players and even if we had not already loaned one in Kenedy, you can also only loan no more than one from a single PL team... So wouldn't be possible sadly... Still, could loan one, buy the other and loan Schurrle. That'd do nicely. Would mean spending money though so...
