200 million??? Lololol

Put the pipe down mate.

Also, we ARE selling players this sunmer. As an absolute fact.

JJ and Luiz is 150 on their own, and yes we will sell players, it remains to be seen if we are selling any top players, I seriously doubt it.

Balde is a great shout, Fermin Lopez looks good this season - Eric Garcia would be a good pick up also. Cheeky swop deal Moreno / Digne plus €£$ for Balde sounds like a good deal for us - maybe not them … 

I thought he was the only one of the 3 that made sense too.

Ramsey 35m and Luiz 75m is about where I see it given the new profit and sustainability rules. Clubs just don't have te money to spend on big transfers atm and fees will be slightly lower than you may think but let's see.

We will certainly be selling players. Whether or not they are top players is debatable but I can definitely see Luiz going.

It seems that all negativity from the champions league qualification thread has moved in the transfer one. It’s the best position this club has been in more than 40 years and people still can’t help themselves. Apparently we’re selling everyone because Emery said they should be smart duhh.

FFS lads get a grip.

Had to laugh at the Sun Headline that popped up on my newsfeed! Thing they have been reading this thread

"Villa have to sell, biggest losses in Europe and there won't be many coming in blah blah... "

Yes we are probably going need to sell but it's not THAT bad. 

We have already seen our squad is small and we need additional players in key positions, its a guarantee we will have injuries and suspensions next season so we can't just sell everyone, as much as the media want us to fall on our backside. 

Let's just trust Unai. He got us into the CL.

Trevoh Chalobah is another possible deal from Chelsea that could make sense. Can play CB or RB afaik and he's been very good since he's come in for them.

Would be quite an ideal replacement if say Carlos is sold.

Not a bad shout at all, good player and has couple of seasons of CL experience. Good for the RB/RCB. He's also had plenty of games as CDM so he could operate in the CM who drops into RCB in posession (like Kamara has done often). What I like about him is how good he is in posession, very high and consistent passing stats.

That Sun article is hilarious. We aren't signing Grealish, let alone for £50m which is conveniently the fee we would sell JJ for. Arsenal still interested in Dougie so we'd sell him too. Hilarious stuff. They never wrote this about Newcastle.

Which is funny as Bruno G to Man City is well down the line

Him and Rodri in midfield? PL Champions 24/25 season.

Might be something in the Chelsea rumours. They must need to sell having already spent £50m on a 16 year old. Surely the PL will see through their dodgy deals at some point. 

[Tubby]

Reading some of these posts leaves me looking forward to 30th August when the window shuts.

We are run by some of the smartest people in football, we have nothing to worry about.

If we sell each other players, is it dodgy?

even being open about the sales are for FFP reasons, is it still dodgy?

The only dodgy part would be how much money each club would get. But if the prices aren’t inflated, then it’s fine, right? 

but saying this, how much is Duran worth?!? His potential is wildly unpredictable. He could be a Bertie Traore, his whole career or world class. So £40m to £100m could arguably be the range 

It all feels dodgy and it is, but what rules would actually be broken?

Yes they did.

Newcastle accept they may have to sell one of their best players this summer as they strive to remain on the right side of the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations.

When they qualified for the CL, you're quoting a different paper

This if from the Sun and a few months after they qualified for the Champions League.

Newcastle face having to sell huge star to comply with FFP rules after confirming £150million losses

There is no media conspiracy around Aston Villa. We came very close to breaching FFP and the media are reporting on it, as they did with Newcastle when their financial results were made public.

Not what I said. Again, you're pointing to a Jan 2024 article. I'm under no illusion about FFP. I was asking about the summer of 2023.

They spent a lot of time hyping them up, talk of £450m spending sprees. I never said there was a conspiracy, but there's a hierarchy of bias when it comes to teams in the league. Do you think they are going to publish stuff like this about us?

"HARRY KANE and Neymar are among the star-studded list of Newcastle's transfer targets, according to reports.

The Magpies are back in the Champions League for the first time in 20 years and can now look forward to an exciting summer of transfer recruitment."

I think it's worth pointing out that I think even last season people were saying we didn't have much money. 

And that we had zero money to spend in January too.

I would be shocked, shocked if we were unable to spend roughly 100 million again this year. As we have done for every season we have been promoted.

Obviously that was before their accounts were published and we all thought Saudi were going to turn them into the new Man City.

Now accounts have come out for both clubs in relation to FFP and the media is responding to that news instead.
