DeadlyDirk Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Watch 32 year old (at the time) Callum Wilson transfer to one of the pif owned Saudi clubs next summer for £45 Million. Whole thing stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZZAM Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 ASM stats are shocking scored like 11 goals in 112 games. Compared to Bertie Traore 9 in 53. But we'd struggle to sell Bertie for over 10 Mill but ASM is worth 40 mill. LOGIC. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Watford did it last year, sold a random squad player to Udinese for about 15m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference is that ManUre, Liverpool, Arsenal wouldn't have been fussed about Watford. Now that it threatens millions of potential revenue for the big clubs, they'll be very vocal. Whether this has any effect immediately remains to be seen, but you can bet they'll be watching Newcastle's activities like a hawk. It'll be like Christian Horner and his radio messages to the stewards. Hopefully the likes of us, Spuds, Brighton and Brentford are also weighing in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WallisFrizz Posted July 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2023 The problem is, I’m not sure that in a transfer window when Havertz was sold for 68 mil that selling ASM for approx 30 mil is that outrageous. It’s not like the Saudis are only buying from Newcastle. There’s all kinds of dodginess going on but I don’t think this is the deal that proves it. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signed Aaron Mooy for nothing when he was mid 20s then loaned him out and Huddersfield signed him for about 7-8m which helped with the FPP for that year I'm sure. People can throw plenty at Newcastle but not like other premier league clubs are squeaky clean in the past with moving players on or signing them from feeder clubs to exploit loopholes. I'd also say they signed ASM for 20m in 2019 and he's had some good seasons for them so he's in 30m bracket so this hasn't been inflated too much in a market where Burnley are spending 20m on a keeper who's only senior experience is league 1 football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 I’d agree that the fee doesn’t seem that bad but am surprised there isn’t a rule already in place to stop teams trading players when they are owned by same people.

Perhaps not, but it sets a precedent that Newcastle have got a dumping ground for whatever players they deem surplus to requirements. If they are currently in the sign Craig Bellamy/James Miner/Samir Nasri phase of the Manchester City cycle they can fast track to the Pep Guardiola and Erling Haaland phase because they can always win in player trading. Selling Saint Maximan for a price that people can look at and consider ‘fair’ just normalises it all. He’s going to a club that won’t be a rival in any competition Newcastle will be playing in and they get the price as if he would. What’s to stop them doing the same with this Summer’s signings in two years and using the money to sign Jude Bellingham? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
