Maldini

£130m and it doesn't activate til next season

Given the fees going around this summer £35m for Gomes is a steal. How long until we get the "we don't want to block Nyoni's pathway" leaks?

Looks like Antonio Silva is going to Bournemouth, presumably we'll sign him in 12 months for 60m more than they pay

Good point

Insane really that they've known for the guts of a year that both these lads are off and they haven't lined up a replacement or replacements.

Dunno if he will be of the standard needed to play for us but Will Wright has something about him. Tall, fast, good finisher, drops into space well. He probably needs to get to the gym but he might make a few benches if we don't get another #9 in

A zabarney if you will

Villa hijacking Newcastle's bid for Manzambi. £50m will probably look like a bargain in a few months. He looks perfect for English football. Another one we could be adding to bump the numbers up especially if we're losing Jones and/or Mac Allister

Yeah, we've gone from being ahead of the curve to being slow off the mark and reactive. We effectively have to sign a player a week til the season starts but we seem to be dragging our heels

Never heard of him before but there's a strong stench of spoof off that account

We also spoke to him before he signed his second deal at PSG

I just hope we have a DOF lined up for when Hughes leaves. The last interregnum cost us a manager and a couple of key players on frees.

He doesn't watch games

Fair

Newcastle seem to be going big on youth this summer, they're spending a ton on 18 to 22-year-olds. It feels like we're missing out on the cheaper end of the market by not being ready yet.

Wait til you hear what the English did!

There's been talk of this for years but the numbers don't add up. £10 a month, even if it's to a global audience won't get near the money they're making at the moment and they'll have to take on all the hassle and cost of broadcast, production and the associated admin. You'd need 32m subscriptions just to match the current income levels (Sky Sports have 8m in the UK for reference) and that's before you factor in the setup and running costs. NFL Network is the model people always spoke about copying but the NFL just wound that up and sold it to ESPN.

Apparently Summerville has a relegation clause in his contract of £40m. I don't think many would be very excited by getting him but I'd rather him than nobody, he has a bit about him.

Germany are trying to fit him and Musiala in the same team but Musiala has the tricks to go past players, they'd be much better off putting him out there

He said a while before that that we were the dream. I think he's probably just young, a bit impetuous and hasn't had any media training

Am I right in thinking Rayan can't move again til January?
