Paid 2 million for him. We can quite easily just keep him until his contract runs out when he’s nearly 31. Unless a Man U want to make a ludicrous offer. If he runs it down, he will get a massive payday as his “last contract” and at 31 and we will have had his best years. Either way we win.

An excuse for Fifa to make a couple of thousand for changing his club on an Excel Spreadsheet

Our opinions aren't important. China, Singapore & USA would prefer to watch United. They haven't heard of Luton and Cambridge is just a University to them.

I remember our city dwelling neighbours were so supportive over Villa when we nearly went out of business due to dodgy investment. Therefore HA HA F******* HA. I hope they. end up like Bury.

They are probably earning twice the salary in those 2 and a half years. Newcastle probably have a plan to be stabilised in the PL by end of 2024 (either by building their current squad or relegated and come back). At that point they will really go for it spending wise.

The most impressive thing about his whole video is the save! If Coutinho is even 80% of what he was there, we have a special player.

This is complete groundwork for a summer move. By the summer he should be 10mill cheaper + his legal case will be sorted (1 way or the other).

Levy put himself into a big corner. He's forced to back Conte. He can't sack him. If Conte walks the fans will revolt.

I think the rumours of PL teams not selling to Newcastle might be true. They've obviously got Trippier from Madrid and Wood was a release clause (Burnley can't do anything). Apart from the usual journalistic nonsense, I can't see any substantial deals with PL clubs being completed. Aubemyang is an obvious easy (yet expensive) deal for Newcastle to do, along with Origi but not seen anything about deals or fees being closed to agreed.

1 week tomorrow. 6:45pm. We are winning 2:0, atmosphere is insane, Rashford smashes his 4th shot into the upper North Stand, Fernandes is crying to the referee and Ronaldo is asking Konsa for an autograph. Then Coutinho comes on to make his debut.

Think he's quite happy earning 300k a week, Champions League and winning the premier league tbh.

Think Everton want 25 million. He was Evertons best player for a bit, and been at Barca etc so his wages would be north of 100k as well.

Can Sky Sports legally be influencing betting markets so obviously? Yesterday, ever major source has Coutinho as virtually a done deal: Sky Sports news ran every 30 minutes saying he has a choice between 4/5 clubs This morning: He has to choose between 2 clubs, even 20 minutes before the announcement they were running the story, hinting it could be Newcastle.

Yes villa announced it

More games in the 2021 calendar year due to Covid. In reality he scored 20 in 42 games last season, and admittedly had a great half to this season 18 in 20 I think. A very good return, and he's a fine young player; but he is still a gamble at 70 million. A 70 million player would also command a 200k salary. There is absolutely no guarantee he would be any better as a premier league goalscorer than Calum Wilson, a striker they already own and very capable of 20 goals a season with the right team behind him. Only takes 2,3 of those and you end up at FFP buffers. Investing in defenders (Botman, Trippier) is sensible, then probably move to the midfield. Origi will be cheap due to his contract and has proven he can score in the PL. Due to FFP in the short / medium term Newcastle don't have unlimited funds. If they spaff 70 million of it on a striker they don't really need, rather than a quality defender or midfielder which they desperately need, I for one will be encouraged.

Interesting time at Spurs this transfer window and in the summer. Conte, undeniably a great manager, clearly saying they need to bring in players / spend. Levy obviously wont want to spend heavily. Unlike Poch, Nuno etc he can't throw the manager who has ALWAYS been successful under the bus. If they don't spend in the summer I could see Conte walking.

I hope it does. 70 million on a player who has had 1 decent season (20 goals) and 1 great half season is how you end up smashing FFP and end up with a mid table squad. In fact i'd argue they are better off with Wilson (basically guaranteed 20 premier league goals a season) than Vlahovic (expensive gamble). Botman, the CB is a signing for 30m worries me more. He's good, fairly priced and what they need.

I was watching Danny Drinkwater wobble around midfield just over a year ago. Coutinho is the second coming of Jesus Christ in comparison.

They are trying to shift Umtiti as well. I think if you are over the limit then only 25 of money recouped can go towards new players. If Torres on 100k a week they need to recoup 400k. They also moving on a couple of youngsters and terminated a players contract.

Eventually we will reach the Everton quandary. Need to sign quality players, but can't quite attract the "elite players". The mistake Everton made was overpaying for the likes of Siggurdsson, Iwobi etc and getting journeymen / elite rejects like James Rodriguez.

Watford and Burnley being rubbish will keep them up. Half way through the season (admittedly a couple a game or so behind) 4 teams are on 13 points or less.

I had a Man U fan trying to give me advice on where to park next Monday at Old Trafford. I kindly reminded him i've been to Old Trafford more times than him (about 10 times).

Signed a 1 year extension yesterday.

They are probably going to lose Rudiger, Azpilicueta and Christensen all on a free this summer as well.
