And the idiot managers of all the other clubs who we’ve loaned players to and they never played? Or is just ****ty Shola?
....so is it £75m, £100m or £150m????! Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has been told he will have £75m to spend this summer with Leicester's England international James Maddison, 26, their top midfield target and Brighton's 21-year-old Ecuadorian Moises Caicedo, Manchester United's Scotland international Scott McTominay, 26, and Chelsea and England's Conor Gallagher, 23, also under consideration. (Mail) Alternatively, Newcastle have a transfer budget of £100m to £150m this summer. (Athletic - subscription needed)
The Mail is quoting Maddison at £60m, Caicedo at £80m, McTomminay at £30m and Gallagher at £50m....so a total of £220m for that lot, lol. So this is about FFP then, and if so, aren't Chelsea massively ****ed after spending £600m this season?!
Or even more as we are just playing down how much we will actually spend to avoid inflated prices. Or even nobody outside the Owners really knows. But the last one doesn’t get any site clicks so journalists tend to pretend that a ‘source’ told them how much. You’ve just got to love transfer windows.
