Transfers, 2024-25 season

[PaddockLad 19935]

I have no idea what sort of fettle he’s likely to be in after two(?) seasons of bullshit in West London but I always through Dewsbury Hall was a decent player as well as a Tudor mansion in Shropshire

Left footed as well which we don’t have in midfield.

 

Dont think we should be selling longstaff if we don’t have to, just going off my impressions he seems like a really good squad member and happy to play a bit part. Home grown which we may need for squad registration purposes depending on what Eddie wants to do with the kids.

 

No idea what the money situation is or the appetite for risk regarding transfers though

I don’t think he would be happy at being an odd sub. He’s a honest lad, the type I think just wants to play football and that’s why I think he hasn’t signed an extension.

His original deal ran out this summer, he signed a one year extension, I suspect so we can get a fee for him.

Maybe right mate, but he must realise we as a club (his club) are on the up. And he isn’t going to be a starter ahead of the lads playing now.

 

Maybe it’s me putting myself in his position, I would rather be a squad player who is well liked at Newcastle than a regular starter for a Moyes Everton for example.

[ewerk 34646]

I know exactly what you’re saying. If he were to spend the rest of his career as a substitute then I’d had no problem with that as he always gives 100% on the pitch despite his obvious limitations.

 

The feeling I get from him though and the way he has spoken previously is that he wants to play football and fair play to him for that.

We're going to have no fucker left next season

 

Seasons not even over and so far I've seen;

 

Botman to PSG

Tino to Man City

Tonali to all of italy (or man u  )

Bruno to city or arsenal

Gordon to arsenal

barnes to villa

Isak to arsenal or liverpool

 

Big mitch really does have a job on

 

 

If we were going to lose one of those, who's out the door for you?

[David Kelly 1430]

Barnes shirley?

+1

[Dougle 3881]

Botman sadly

[Alex 38103]

If PSG were going to give us megabucks for Botman I’d probably go for that. I think he’s class but he’s been injured a fair bit. I realise we’d then really need to be looking at bringing in two CBs this summer if that happened. I also realise it’s probably bollocks 

[Gemmill 53296]

Aye it's got to be the lad that has barely played all season. 

[David Kelly 1430]

Burn and Schar are both 33 now and we really don't have anyone else in the way of options in the centre of defence so I'd be extremely concerned if we lost Sven.  I'm not convinced Barnes is going to be happy dropping back behind Gordon, even with the prospect of European football next season (there were noises about him wanting to be away in January anyway) so he's much more dispensable imo.  Of course if we thought Botman will have ongoing injury problems then it might be more acceptable to move him on but it would certainly cause us problems.

[Dougle 3881]

If we want a squad with quality in depth then we need to keep the likes of Barnes.

With Botman for me it just seems he will be out more often than in. I hope I’m wrong

[wykikitoon 24061]

The injuries of Botman is a concern.  Would PSG really chuck cash at him?

Botman because it's abroad. I'd be selling no cunt to any cunt in the premier league.

Looks like Huijsen is going to Real
