sne Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Latest players to be linked are Cavani, Coutinho, Nabil Fekir and Koulibaly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 No chance they get the first two imo, even talk Cavani will actually stay at PSG now. Wouldn't say Fekir is that unrealistic, he's at Betis and been in and out with injuries all season so his stock isn't as high two years ago when Liverpool nearly signed him. If they signed Koulibaly wouldn't mind having a nibble at one of Schar or Lascelles. Even Federico Fernandez isn't that bad a CB and he'd be available you'd imagine.

Should maybe introduce some kind of media watchdog or summet. Crazy I know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle will be a dream come true for a lot of players. Get linked to a club with loads of money to spend, all of a sudden you’re getting a new improved deal at your current club under your nose.

I won't believe this take over 'til I see it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Coutinho was linked to everton yesterday, barca are desperate for the cash Cavani will be interesting, 33 years old, coming off a monster contract, if someone offers him a 3 year deal on £200k a week you can see it happening, the sensibility in giving him that contract is questionable though, he'd do well to see out 50% of those games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 If thought this deal was supposed to be a done deal.. why isn't anything happening? Starting to doubt this supposedly takeover will happen. Reminds me last time they were linked to a takeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it does go through FFP will heavily hinder them doing what they want.

Just a decent PL player cost 50-60 mill these days Yeah there's been countless Newcastle take overs, at least one every year. Think this is a serious one thou. But the timing (Covid-19) combined with the people behind it does complicate things a bit as he is a murdering psychopath that there is no legitimate reason to pass as fit and proper. As for FFP who knows how that will look now, and would they even care if it did remain in some form? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Haven't contracts been agreed and everything? This is further down the line than 18 months ago or whenever there was last serious talk of this group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Plot twist! There is another bidder. American media mogul Henry Mauriss is desperate to buy apparently and is working with Chris Ronnie, close friend of owner Ashley and who recently served a four-year prison sentence for fraud. All according to The Mirror.. Even without a TV-show this is my favorite soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they go big on a mega money striker and he gets injured they're back to square one, but with a much bigger wage bill and higher expectations. Its not as easy as it might appear to buy the titles now. Making Cavani the big money signing will be suicidal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can actually get Pochettino i'd be concerned about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jury still out on him for me, he’s good, but is he great? Not sure. Newcastle need to avoid the urge to jump to buying world class players. They need to improve their 11 gradually over 2 or 3 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
