With a name like Sesko I was sure he'd be a huge black dude, but he's a skinny white guy lol.

Isn't a 19 year old a huge risk though?
 
Maxwell Cornet rumours picking up this afternoon.

If the release clause at 17.5m is true I'm all for it. 26 games last year - 9 goals and 1 assist is a great return in a struggling team.

If you could have Dwight McNeil at £20m with one assist in 38 games or Jack Harrison at £30+m with 8 goals and one assist or Cornet the sensible money is on Cornet.

He quoted it after last nights game. Sounded downbeat about it as well.

That the market conditions are difficult.

Not happening, we wouldn't be making bids for Ekitike, Nunez, Paqueta blah blah if money was tight. After making such a statement in Jan, is doesn't make sense for spending to stop now.
 
This bid for Maddison seems legit aswell.

Interesting that we are going for a CM and not a striker or RW.

Miggy made captain last night suggests that Eddie is happy with him.
Maddison has proven effective at RW too. Presumably would be predominantly used alongside Joelinton and Bruno but viewed as an option for RW if required.

Yes probably. I would love it if we got him. He’s a good player. But we need to pay 60m for them to even consider.

Which I don’t think we will.
 
I think it’s because clubs are adding the NUFC tax on. Maddison they want 60m. We put in 40m.
They want £60million because he's one of their best players, who scores and creates a lot of their goals. It's not really a Newcastle tax thing, I don't think... Contract is running down though so may be able to get him for a bit less than that.

He’s a very good player. If we signed him for 50m that would be good business.

They have been told they need to sell before they can buy.

Quite funny because I reckon within the next few months a few of these clubs that voted with the 5 to ban friendly sponsorship deals may be kicking themselves when the realise their owners can't do it anymore either.
