Other clubs transfers 2021

[WA Toffee]

And people really believed the Geordies wouldn't overtake us at some stage despite them being the richest club in der werld.

Them, Villa, WHU, Leicester etc and its all down to recruitment.

We had our money and Walsh/Brands wizzed it on crap.

Only ourselves to blame.

Newcastle haven't overtaken us.

So far all they have done is spend a lot of money on someone who used to be pretty good but is past his best, so it seems they are just following the Everton model anyway which makes it unlikely they will overtake us any time soon

This is a steal for him but clubs may be best waiting to see what happens with his assault case first

It's definitely not a steal. He's good to great but 50m is still 50m

I honestly don't know what to say to this.

if reports are to be believed the Villa have just added around £300-£350k a week to their wage bill with Coutinho and Digne - the Grealish sale really has helped them out financially!

Feels very “win now” to be honest.

But different to us, where they at least have a younger core, when they went on their spree.

But big core of that side will be Ings, Digne and Coutinho, who will all be nearing 30 soon.

They have 2-3 years to get it right, before even the likes of McGinn turn 30, so big gamble on Coutinho too.


That said, I’d 10000000% take being in their position now than ours. Progressive young manager, good football and no Benitez, Tosun, Rondon etc…

The loans were Hicks and Gillette's, loans they took out themselves to purchase the club them dumped the payments on the club.

When bank saw how precarious it was to get money back they moved those loans in their toxic asset division, bank protocol in the industry on loans of that magnitude.

They wanted to refinance the loan and the bank wanted the money, seems it was in loan agreement that if they were struggling to get loan payments, seems quite a few payments were missed then the bank could act which triggered them owning the club and to sell it for the actual debt, which happened.

Not sure how the you correlated that with the British government, banks were twitchy then it was a year after the credit crunch and toxic assets needed to be reduced in their portfolios especially banks that were bailed out by the tax payer.

Seems it was a case is the most bad timing to leverage buyout in 2007, it they'd bought the club 2 years earlier they would have ended up like Leeds.

Weird you’d kind of defend them!

Seen this lad play a couple of times and whilst tidy with some promise that is an ENORMOUS fee and he for sure isn't read to start in the PL.

Geordies showing their desperation with their targets, seen them linked with Origi at the RS as well as the Czech lad and Chris Wood. They’ve ended interest in Botman too as Lille steadfast refuse to sell

You’d rather have Gerrard than Benitez?

 

[barneygumble]

You’d rather have Gerrard than Benitez?

I mean, both are equal evils.

The only difference is, one has everything to prove and the other has nothing to prove and is causing carnage over the club.

Prefer neither, and hate Gerrard more than Benitez by some great distance but I’d have him over Benitez and his stubborn ways 100%

Talks that Newcastle are after Chris woods for 20 million go solve their goal scoring issue and keep them up.

Fella has scored 3 goals this season.

Gets 10+ every year. Not amazing but can see why they'd look at him.
