That tweet has the old numbers, the newest as in last night/ today rumour is upgraded figures Over at Hürriyet, they state the Turkish champions have rejected Aston Villa’s €30m package This has seen Unai Emery’s side make an improved proposal that includes a €5m loan fee with a option to buy set at €27m. It’s stated Galatasaray are ‘evaluating the new offer’ made by Aston Villa but are not keen since it doesn’t include a mandatory purchase option. Meanwhile, Calciomercato.it state the player ‘immediately said yes’ to the English club and the two parties are working to sort out the personal terms. It’s down to Aston Villa to agree a deal with Galatasaray for the transfer to take shape

Yep, newest rumours are the loan fee has been upped to 5 million € and a straight out fee if we buy of 27m € this would tie in with the release clause numbers

300 million net on new signings since January 2022

I rate Howe, but Newcastle is their PR for the Arabs, look how honest and sporting we are. Chelsea is being used as a smoke screen to divert what Newcastle are doing. Start with the shirt sleeve sponsor being 5 times the amount, that then gives a very thin legitimacy for 4x the shirt sponsorship a year later, which gives legitimacy for even bigger self sponsorship. By having that cheat money enabled signings they couldn't afford which got them 4th which then gets them more money to spend. That in itself is letting them double what they can spend, so just buying in 2 x 60 million players each window would never be something they could do without the self sponsoring. It's like man city now claiming their 5 year net spend 10 years of what Newcastle are doing to get to that point where they can sell off players purchased to cover 70% of incoming players.

Played out of position and was in no man's land until after half time when the damage had been done and the reality of mings injury set in. A few of our players reverted to their bad old ways, mcginn trying Hollywood balls several times and none successful as he tried to force the game. Was a poor performance and you could see on his face how upset he was when he came off. Don't like his comment which almost blames torres for the result after mings went off. We should have set up robust from the start instead of trying to accommodate Bailey and diaby. Mcginn in his regular position would have meant cash not getting so exposed and on a yellow. Against physically weaker opposition 2 wingers/ wide forwards may work but we lost the battle as we had a far physically weaker midfield yesterday. If we don't have a wide player who can produce other than diaby then don't try using 2 at ghe same time in tougher games.

Watched quite a few of these world Cup games. The standard of play is pretty poor, the occasional great bit of skill but bearing in mind these are meant to be the world's best players, exeter city, in division 1 would play any of these teams off the park. Hearing usa female team demanding same wage as their male counterparts is laughable. They generated 2.5 million and expect 6 million in pay because that's what the mens team got in their world Cup. It's a different grade of sport. England have managed to get through, good on them, I have an interest in all England teams or sports people but the lack of criticism of the standard of play or terrible play from the commentators when players are horrendous is mystifying. If someone's playing appallingly or not doing what they should in the men's game, it gets said. Seems people are scared to criticise anything in the woman version of football.

They are both owned by the same people. Chelsea is more trendy and glamorous and flashy so gets publicly lavished with money however the PR side is Newcastle so it will be less obviously done. while not looking like its taking the piss compared to Chelsea, increasing sponsorship revenue just on the shirt by close to 30 million per season by sponsoring themselves. And that's most likely the tip of a cheating iceberg It will be sponsor stadium next for crazy money, again by themselves, and training ground again by themselves. Premier league won't care as no doubt they will get whistle or headphone sponsorship for the officials for 10 million per season as a good will gesture by chelsea/ newcastles owner

Haven't they just been sponsored by themselves for 4 times their last sponsorship ?

Just down to numbers, I think by Monday an agreement will be made Over at Hürriyet, they state the Turkish champions have rejected Aston Villa’s €30m package This has seen Unai Emery’s side make an improved proposal that includes a €5m loan fee with a option to buy set at €27m. It’s stated Galatasaray are ‘evaluating the new offer’ made by Aston Villa but are not keen since it doesn’t include a mandatory purchase option. Meanwhile, Calciomercato.it state the player ‘immediately said yes’ to the English club and the two parties are working to sort out the personal terms. It’s down to Aston Villa to agree a deal with Galatasaray for the transfer to take shape.

Any first team targets we have, we may possibly need to go down the loan to buy route to comply with FFP. I think we are all in agreement that a starting right back is required A starting winger / inside forward is required That doesn't include a striker Unless we can ship out 2 or 3 of our squad for decent money such as donk, Chambers, bailey, big phil then the reported zaniolo transfer arrangement may have to be used for anyone incoming.

They really weren't. I think it was the first 25 minutes in where I thought about posting he needs to come off. I didnt because i was trying to be optimistic but by then he had managed to break up attacking moves for us, didn't offer any protection for cash so they just kept playing down our right, fell over multiple times giving the ball away and made us look weak. He should not have started and that's on emery. As for the argument we conceded 3 in the second without him ? You mean after all the players had been informed mings was now going to hospital because the injury is worse than emi b s? Everyone was effected clearly by that, hence the huge drop off in performance by the entire team. bailey didnt drop off, that would imply he, at some stage of the game, was good. He wasnt, hence a large amount of people wanting him off at half time. Bailey has for some time become a FFS player, the ball goes to him, he messes up and you auto have in your head 'FFS bailey' . He does nothing positive for at least 75% of the time it goes to him and just as the passing stats for yesterday show you, he can't even pass it to his own team mates let alone beat his man, basic traits of his position. Hes like a worse trez. At least trez put in the effort of closing players down or pressuring the opposition defence.

Good showing against a tough defence. Nice volley finish and some genuine skill and pace out wide. He's probably not happy tonight like the rest of us

Another who had a shocker Didn't help that 1st half Bailey was in front of him doing little to nothing so was hung out to dry and by half time he was on a yellow card or if not was 1 mild foul away from 1. Then he panics, tries to get forward but cuts back every time, can't get back as trying to push forwards and can't tackle because he's on a yellow. At fault for 1st and 4th ? goals due to poor awareness and positioning. He can look really good, normally when mcginn is in front of him, he looks really bad when left to mark 2 players. Something young would normally sort out but we let him go and didn't replace.

Today emery got it badly wrong. Can't help injuries but he's seen enough of the players to know who can be relied on and who can't. He will not be so trusting with certain players again I feel.

It was not a performance to be proud of. He looks unfit, lightweight, slow and lacking basic skills for a winger. He's a luxury player, if we are 2 or 3 up then he gets some minutes but is just so so terribly bad at most things. It's on emery today, he should never have started and mcginn should have not been moved to accommodate him.

Totally devastated. Mings did however cause part of the issue himself, yes it was a freak injury, but why tf are you trying to play the player when you have conceded 2 goals early in the game ? Just knock it out for a throw !! It's something mings used to do, get suckered into playing the player not the ball and it's rarely worked in his favour. Fingers cross for him, he's probably bar doug, the most improved player in our squad since promotion and one of the most important players for spirit and organisation. Also one of my favourite players.

Just like 90% of the team, a day to forget.

Got a stupid yellow after 9 minutes, wasn't that bad, far better than a lot of the team today. No yellow and he can be a bit more aggressive. Easy yellow for kicking the ball to stop a thrown in.. should be fined for that, it was just stupid

Players with any credit Diaby who ran chased and created and scored Martinez who saved 2 or 3 certain goals The bad Emery set us up completely wrong Mginn is most effective on the right , was put as a floating midfielder and that means he was lost and did nothing Bailey, oh my days, shouldn't have started and proved why. Watkins ? Seriously ? He put in a Bailey type of effort today, as in pretty much none. Flick on for goal and 1 shot. No running, no closing down, nothing. Cash with zero help from Bailey managed to get torn apart and then booked, poor decision making multiple times and at fault for 2 ? Of the goals, 1st being 2 yards behind the high line and 2nd fancying around and instead of a simple pass to torres makes a stupid pass to martinez, they then score, from nothing. Konsa, started well enough but then went to sleep multiple times for at least 2 goals Digne, gets a stupid yellow after 9 minutes and then is under pressure all game. Teilmans played deep then further forward then deep by which time the balls zoomed passed him and he's out of the game, multiple times. Doug, a very bad day, possibly should have had a penalty but really looked off. Kamara decided we don't need the ball any more and just gave it away repeatedly Mings being injured just sums up what a terrible day its been. Instead of playing the ball, goes back to trying to play the player, something he trys to do and rarely succeeds in doing. Ends up probably out 3 to 9 months now, gutted for him. We possibly now need a right back a winger and a forward as a matter of urgency after injuries and players continuing to fail to impress. I can only hope man utd get hammered.

Can't watch any more, been a shambles, konsa been pretty wank today, cash pretty wank teilmans in the wrong position should be further forward mginn taken off when he's the only one who will fight, watkins doing an impression of the lazy invisible man. Too many totally off form today and poor set up from the off and continued throughout the game by emery. He will need to make some simple decisions such as dont start Bailey, push konsa to right side cash doesn't start. Kamara doesn't start on today's piss poor show, given the ball away more times than his made a successful pass. At least it can't get any worse.

Fml cash ? Wtf ? Simple pass to Torres but no put martinez under pressure and they score. Really been a shambles, watkins has been a waste if a shirt other than 1 shot and 1 flick, zero running or effort. Cash been average to poor Hopefully we keep the score to just 4 !!!

Why is digne taking corners ? Left yes, right doug

Thank goodness Bailey off teilmans on

Bailey off please Mginn back on the right against burns, he is completely ineffective where he has been put. Teilmans on in front of doug and kamara Diaby on the left Can't honestly think of one positive from Bailey today, very poor performance, lacking pace, energy, composure , skill and tactical positioning.

Mings injured But doing what he used to, charging the player rather than going for the ball. Bailey looks too weak down the right, would rather mcginn goes there and Bailey stays left while he is on the pitch.
