Max Power Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 I’ll jinx it now but this must the quickest gap from first rumours to done deal ever? Slick work behind the scenes.

Sign a proven Prem player after his best season, with stats that tick all crucial areas we desperately need for £25-30m? Why would that be a) surprising or b) outrageous? I guarantee if he had never played in the Prem but came from France or Spai having scores 13 in 40 from the wing that nobody would care about the price, and be excited. Well happy with this. Excellent point!

brucey Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 ESPN also reporting 30m. Earlier reports from May mention a 30m euro release clause. http://sportwitness.co.uk/newcastle-forward-become-cl-hopefuls-new-idea-fee-little-e20-25m/

Fightforever Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 Providing that we buy him that would mean that we'd have spent 40 million pounds
Max Power Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 2 minutes ago, brucey said: Danny Ward last summer was rapid as well. True. Although this feels a much bigger deal. Ward was Liverpool’s fourth choice keeper despite the ludicrous fee paid.
Wymsey Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 Mike Ashley needs the extra cash to pay for his Sports Direct warehouse workers' wages accurately this time..

FantasticMrFox&Son Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 Another club (Newcastle) that feels toxic right now. We are truly BLESSED with our owners.

Well happy with this. 100% agree. Obviously would prefer it to be as low a price as possible but if it's £30m, it's £30m. Not only does he improve our starting 11 playing on the right but he enhances the depth we have in a number of other positions. Cracking signing.
FrankieADZ Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 feel for the newcastle fans tbh, they are a great lot tbh, their club is toxic as hell and Mike Ashley is running it into the ground,

KingsX Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 Player in his prime, but we won't be able to sell at a profit on £30m. This one is about competing now. Will he improve us enough?

Actually feel very sorry for them. They've got unbelievable fans and surely for somebody's wanting to invest, they are the perfect club. Best owner v worst owner.
wardyfox86 Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 "don't worry it's not my money" blah blah blah but £30m seems like alot of money for a guy who's preferred position is taken up by Maddison and (hopefully) Tielemans. Ok he plays wide, but more on the inside channels, will he work in our 4141?
Buce Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 16 minutes ago, brucey said: Earlier reports from May mention a 30m euro release clause. That’s a big improvement on the 39 billion release clause she got last time...
Bossman Blessed It Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 Considering he got 12 goals in a team that basically limited themselves to a handful of chances per game (to varying degrees of success), I'd say he's got potential. He's at a good age and knows the Premier League well by now too. If Rodgers can see it in him then surely we should be positive about this given that it's his first transfer window? He is certainly an improvement on Ghezzal, Iheanacho, Gray, Barnes and Albrighton (attacking-wise at least), so will make us more competitive.
brucey Posted 2 July 2019 Posted 2 July 2019 is this the 30-50m winger that Tanner was referring to then?
