Isegrim 11894 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 From what I know down here, unfortunately the fee is as high as it is stated, nothing fishy about it apart from the stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 42149 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 If true, that’s £40m in a failed attempt to get one over on Benitez. Finally getting the hang of this football lark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The craic about Ashley/Charley or whoever offering Joe for £40m would be quite interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to fucking argue with this. But what possible dodgy deal could it be? How does Ashley benefit from being out £40m that he won't recoup?

Ayatollah Hermione 17238 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 It would have been a better move if he’d invested £40 million in Blockbuster Video tbh. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will only be in the next accounts, but the official stance from Hoffenheim is that it is the biggest transfer money they have received so far, more than Firmino who they sold for 41m Euro. https://www.achtzehn99.de/aktuelles/news/2019/07/joelinton-wechselt-zu-newcastle-united/ A dodgy deal would get them in bother with the league (as well as tax authorities) down here, so there is hardly a reason why they should lie about it.

NJS 5298 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I'm at the stage where I don't know which is worse - it's either completely bent or they actually thought he was worth 40m. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 39222 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 It's typical of Mike Ashley's Newcastle United to spent fuck all for years then obliterate our transfer record on an absolute donkey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 22487 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Pogba was like 85mill? seeing as 40 mill is twice as much as Ashley had spent on any other fucker It's like Man United spending 170 mill on an untried foreigner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
