duncanmckenzieismagic Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Joking aside it seems a good deal for us but leaves us ridiculously short of options You can only imagine we have at least one incoming sorted but then I didn’t think we would start the season without a CF Romey 1878, Matt and Sibdane 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ‘English’ player premium is alive and well.

Either way. great price for not a great player I think maybe the £60M figure banded around may have been what we said we want for him, but where never going to get. If we'd have paid £45M for Gordan this window, we would all be doing our nut. So getting £40M straight away with £5M add-on is a great deal for us. Yes, he does have potential, but they are paying top dollar for it. Would be nice to be saying good luck to the lad (as we all did with Richy), but I will have a wry smile if it all goes the way of Jeffers, Rodwell or Barkley.

StevO Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Seems Newcastle are trying to move on Saint Maximim (spelling). I’d take him. He’s a headless chicken, but he makes things happen and can beat a man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badaids Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Thanks for the cash, and good riddance to a player who has acted questionably, but it can't hide the fact that this is one more failure from a badly run club; failing to handle and keep a promising player.

I wonder now much we save? Not a great deal I imagine giving his wages. Just to put it in to perspective - the fee is 4th highest for an English 21 or under player and just outside the top ten (11th) of any player 21 or under purchased in the Premiership. To me that's decent money for a lad who is approaching 22 and not yet been selected for the senior England squad, never mind earnt a senior cap. more than any fee we have paid for a player, and second most expensive Newcastle signing ever. Just need to get a replacement - but a bit of wiggle room financially - shame is so late in the window. but Gordan has force the issue and made it near impossible to keep him.

Hafnia Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 So happy we aren’t selling those Everton obsessed Saudis a good player. £45m plus a sell on fee. The sell on fee won’t be worth anything. He will sort his parents out for a house, and basically be a bench player. wont take them long to get pissed off with him. He had our fans eating out of his hands till he thought he had made it. Like I said in August lads, watch out for the warning signs. We’ve seen them before.

Aidan Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 It's almost as if Newcastle haven't been watching him play this season. On top of that, why anyone would invest so much money into an individual with a stinking attitude is beyond me. It's such a shame, if he had more of a driven and professional personality he could have been a very good player. Another Barkley in the making. We will see him at Newcastle, then somewhere like West Ham or Bournemouth, then he will be playing abroad somewhere when he will be all but forgotten about. And it's no less than he deserves. He has personally ruined his career before it even begun. KinL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
