Exactly the sort of signing I can see Newcastle doing in January or the summer. Several £25-30m players each window to improve their league position and stabilise them over the next 18 months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 It’s going to be hard for a lot of players to turn down Newcastle with the wages they could potentially offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really don’t see them spending stupid high fees (ie £50m plus) on one player for at least 18 months/2 years. They need to build a decent squad and be competitive in the first instance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on their acumen. We've shown that we are happy to walk away if a club is trying for too much. If Newcastle overpay this winter (to stay in the league), then they'll be held to ransom forevermore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However get to next summer and Luiz could still be refusing to sign so with one year left we'd have to sell him. Who knows if Sanson will finally be playing by then. If he hasn't it will have been 18 months since joining so probably time to cut losses. And Nakamba will also have one year left on his deal. So suddenly from being well stocked in central midfield we'd be pretty light of quality options even if some good kids are coming through. McKennie would be in Bailey bracket for me given he's played at good level in europe for last few years. I assume his nationality and potential marketing would also appeal to Wes especially with 2026 world cup coming up. Let's sign him and leave Newcastle to get Ward Prowse for 40m next summer, that sounds a fair deal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd want 160-200k per week. That kind of money destabilises a whole dressing room. Jack was an exception, because he was a special player and the squad knew that. If we give Lingard that, then Martinez, Mcginn, Mings, Konsa, Ollie etc would all demand the same. Quite quickly 30 million a year is added to the wage budget. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s mad the Saudi’s have chose Newcastle of all clubs. I’d have thought they have gone for a London club. I guess there would be no chance they be able to takeover a club for 300m though. Back on topic I reckon we’ll go for an experienced number 2 goalie in January. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering their wealth of 200b+, i imagine Newcastle for 300m or a London team for X hundreds of millions probably wouldnt bother them, i imagine it was more down to which teams were actually available for purchase!?

Yes and the threat of bin Salman ordering the player to be tortured and beheaded if he turns them down or expresses criticism of Saudi Arabia.

They would still want to see a return regardless of their wealth. If you bought one of the big clubs for 1.5x what it was worth, its very unlikely they would see any of that back. £300m on Newcastle can very easily be worth £900m in a few years.

sne Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) They are not buying the club to make profit, they are buying to use it as a front to promote Saudi Arabia as a place for people to visit and to have it seem like less of a murderous regime. Currently when people think of Saudi Arabia people think of Khashoggi and dead children in Yemen. They aim to change that (while obviously not stopping bombing innocent people or murdering dissidents) They could not care one bit if Newcastle doesn't make them money directly.
