HanoiVillan Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 8 hours ago, rjw63 said: Jawdees have taken over the BBC transfer gossip column. According to that they are going to try and sign: Lingard; Tripper; Ben Clogger Mee; Tarkowski; Ousmane Dembele. It's so tiresome. Maybe they will be able to sign some good players, but more likely they won't be able to sign anyone much at all until the summer. And the whole thing, from the fans to the media, is just so embarrassingly thirsty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money will talk - they'll overpay, but they'll get the domestic players they want "£20m for Tarkowski, he's out of contract in 6 months" "We're reluctant to do business with your human right offending oil money" "£30m" "We're reluctant to do business with you because of, er..."

Some clubs have been knocked down a rung because of Newcastle wealth If they bid 35 million for Davis I wouldn't say No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you to your kind new Saudi overlords" Tarkowski is an interesting one this winter. £20-30mill for a player out of contract is good business, but strengthening a rival and weakening yourself for the relegation fight. If he kick up a fuss, might be an opportunity for another club to come in and steal him from under Newcastles nose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 yeah id be surprised if burnley put any kind of price on him effectively consigning themselves to relegation if they sell him to newcastle and the PL dwarfs the transfer value but their owner seems like a dick so who knows 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Tarkowski is a decent defender but he is being overrated by the media and isnt going to transform the defence. Burnley have been mainly a bottom half team since he joined and he is about 8th choice England centre back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Saw a story today saying they're maybe looking at buying Pedersen from the noses . . . not that I think he's awful, because he's a decent-to-good LB for a Championship side, but it's hardly the kind of signing their fans will have been expecting I'd have thought. (They do desperately need a LB though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham will surely be in for him given they've lost Ogbonna for season and Zouma until March. He'd likely start there aswell so would be amazed if he chose Newcastle over them.

Don't think they took too kindly to his comments about training regime when he was last with Wales. That or Everton coming in with 40m bid in typical fashion.
