They see themselves as CL challengers already and if we don’t want a player, they won’t take him. How on earth have you come to the conclusion Newcastle see themselves as Champions League challengers already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveAV1 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 1 hour ago, Tomaszk said: I think it would be tricky to sell for a price we're happy with yes. What do you think the lowest we'd accept is? £20m? £25m? Don't see a club paying it. I’m constantly amazed how much clubs will pay for a footballer and the incredible wages they get too. So my guess is as good as yours. I suppose much of it depends on how long is left on his contract, how much he wants to leave and who the buying club are. £20m plus and we’ve got our money back more or less. But if he goes the replacement cost has to be considered. If that happens first then perhaps that makes it a more simple equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khizzy Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I wonder if this was a red herring now that the Carlos deal is pretty much done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, I could see us signing both of them and shipping Konsa/Hause out for 25-30 million, leaving us with Tarkowski, Carlos, Mings, & Chambers.

They couldn't even get their main targets in January by throwing huge stacks of cash at them. Hell, the best manager they could find to replace Potato Head was Eddie Fookin' Howe. I don't see them challenging for Europe for another couple of seasons. They need to build a base first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but they’re the biggest club in Newcastle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarkowski is a free agent. Not sure why we’d pull that stunt with someone out of contract really. Like others have said, we could well get both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's played RCB when Mee played and LCB in games that Mee was out. Don't think we're ever in for him that it matters though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I think Mings js going to be made available. Tarkowski on the right and Carlos on the left of central defence. Would give great balance and experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would give great balance and experience. Meaning we'd sell our captain 2 seasons in a row And start a new season with a brand new CB pairing Has either of them happened before? Take mings out of it for a minute and just look at the logic of those 2 things, it's not likely based on that alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I rate Tarkowski I really hope we don't do that. Leaves us with three CBs 29-30 and Chambers must not be far off that age given he's been around nearly a decade now. Should be either Carlos/Tarkowski and seems we've chosen Carlos. Next step needs to be a more long term option which is why I like the Bassey links as he fits the profile nicely and can cover LB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t believe Howe or his DoF does, it’s mostly the fans so far. But I do think they’re planning to reach Europe if not this coming season so definitely the next, and will try to make deals accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
