With Jorginho coming in at Chelsea the lad must surely see he’s never going to get a chance in that midfield (I know they take up different positions on the pitch but you can only play so many and with all the talk of cutting back at Chelsea they’ve just hoyed in 60m for another CM). It’d be a stretch with fat cunt as owner of course but I think he’d be a brilliant signing who we could play in an advanced position in front of Shelvey and Diame. I don’t think we can loan loftus-cheek as we have Kenedy from Chelsea already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would been nice if we would just buy the cunt like most other PL clubs (even the ones that clearly have far lower revenue than us) fuck all chance of that with Ashley on the purse strings.

Thought it wasn't clear meaning probably not I thought I saw it reported but tbh I don’t know. From what I read it seemed like Chelsea wanted more than Ashley was willing to pay, so I’d expect any clause to be at the price we won’t meet anyway. So aye probably irrelevant.

LooneyToony 41 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Spending continues at West Ham Felipe Anderson has reportedly passed a medical. He will join from Lazio in a £40m deal Ay Caramba! NUFC have no money, though. We're broke as a bottle of wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper 940 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) Looks like Townsend was part of Ashley's smoke & mirrors routine Roy Hodgson speaking to Football.London: “There can be as much speculation as you like….Andros Townsend has got three years on his contract, and we have no interest at all in selling Andros Townsend. “I am not surprised that other clubs would be interested (in Andros Townsend), and there are players at other clubs who aren’t for sale that I wouldn’t mind, but we are not selling players. “We are not a selling club at the moment, far from it. “We are working very hard to keep the players we have got, players of big importance, and Zaha and Townsend are right up there as players we want to keep. “And speculation can continue, the fun can continue if people want to read it, but I have no interest in it.” Edited July 17, 2018 by trooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5881 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 So this £40-50mil we supposedly had. Topped up with the impending sales of Mitro, Merino, Mbemba and Hayden. Gives us the best part of £100mil. 3 weeks to go and we've got a free transfer, a loan and a £4mil GK. Not sure why I'm surprised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loans and free transfers, what a joke. When you see the transfer business of other clubs, he must surely see he’s wasting his time with our lot of penny pinching amateurs.

Noelie 103 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I believe, and I hope I am totally wrong, but …………………………………. I don't see us spending big money. I don't see us bringing in a marquis player. I don't see Rafa getting what or who he wants. I don't see us matching the likes of West Ham who I think have already brought in 7 new players. I do see us getting wannaway players from relegated teams. (already have one from Swansea) I do see us getting free transfer players if the wages and terms are acceptable. I do see us getting loan players if the terms are acceptable. (already have one from Chelsea) And in reality it's a bit stupid to say we've signed 3 new players. Dubravka & Kenedy both played for us last season so you can hardly say they're new. The South Korean is the only new face so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has a ring of truth to it, they're both waiting for someone to blink first, both knowing full well that neither will. With Carr in place Ashley entrusted him to appoint McLaren and spend 100mill but he won't let a champions league winner look anywhere for players apart from the "bargain bin" until he signs a new contract...fuckin pitiful..

I read the the rumoured Rondon deal would end up costing us more than his release fee as well. Which is money that could instead be spent on doing things like improving training facilities and getting Benitez to sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zerosum 234 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I’ve no idea on the type of forward Rondon is, didn’t really watch any WBA games. I know his goal stats are dubious, but is he more in fitting of the rafa player? IE plays the pressing game? Think that’s why he went for salami on loan, cos he’s one of those that runs and runs all game (like Perez). Just hope he’s not a headless chicken like Joselu.
