Pliskin Posted 4 January 2022 Share Posted 4 January 2022 (edited) Trippier might do a job there for a season and a bit, but it’s just petty cash to them. If these kind of signings keep them up they can start pumping the big Benjamin’s into the side. Edited 4 January 2022 by Pliskin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xen Posted 4 January 2022 Share Posted 4 January 2022 2 hours ago, CrispinLA in Texas said: Everton sign 20year old RB Nathan Patterson from Rangers for 12m, after purchasing the 22year old LB Mykolenko for around 17m. Rafa seems to have money to spend and strengthening the defense buying young youngsters, we need to some activity quickly band by the kid from Aberdeen and the Belgium guy and maybe also a hardworking 20 something South American player Is there any other kind? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFox99 Posted 4 January 2022 Share Posted 4 January 2022 20 minutes ago, goody2028 said: Madness that Atlético only got £12m (+add ons) out of the now richest club in football for him. Decent signing for them but the only head turner for him being the money. Imagine going from playing in sunny Spain and champions league to now playing in the championship next season. Apparently it's half up front, and should Newcastle stay up, it's another 12m. If they get relegated the money made on a potential sale would also go back to Atletico. Read that in total the deal is around 25-30m which is around the number Atletico wanted from ManUtd when they were interested earlier this year.

EastAnglianFox Posted 4 January 2022 Share Posted 4 January 2022 So frustrating knowing so many clubs are going to be doing business this month yet seems we don't have room for anything barring a surprise big sale. I don't like the term "deadwood" but we do seem year after year to be stuck with a shed load of players that just hang around and offer nothing in terms of moving us to that next level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a full England international, their first choice RB, and they're a Champions League, title-winning team. Ignore the wages side, why have Atletico accepted?? 12m for someone who 32 at the start of next season, with 18 months on his contract isn't too shabby I'd imagine the get more if Newcastle stay up. Probably on a decent wage too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFox99 Posted 4 January 2022 Share Posted 4 January 2022 Perez, Mendy, Hamza, Benkovic are all players that we need to move on sooner than later before they lose any sort of value. Think we could cop somewhere around 25-30m in total for this lot, the majority coming from Perez and Hamza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think we sell Hamza when Wilf is away at the Afcon Mendy and Benko are worth very little. Edited 4 January 2022 by coolhandfox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get relegated he only costs 12m. If they stay up it’s 24. Not that hard to understand , or do you expect them to refund them if they go down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we did an excellent job of felling some deadwood initially last summer, then we lost Fofana and brought some in. The more I think about it we did some very tragic business last summer, so I for one are very pleased Conmanerton has fooked off to Italia. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrispinLA in Texas Posted 5 January 2022 Share Posted 5 January 2022 (edited) It's so frustrating now that we have 2 CB's that have flopped at Leicester, 14m wasted on Vestergaard and 13m wasted on Benkovic, while other teams like Everton have spent nearly the same amount on 2 up and coming young LB and RB this week. Hope Brendan doesn't waste 10's m buying other EPL deadwood CB's. Edited 5 January 2022 by CrispinLA in Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Brendan doesn't waste 10's m buying other EPL deadwood CB's. I’m not sure Everton are the best example I believe they have spent > £77m on Mina, Keane and Godfrey. A staggering amount, for bang average CB options. In contrast Söyüncü, Evans, Fofana & Amartey set us back £60m. Vestergaard was a mistake but was an isolated panic buy due to Evans & Fofana’s injuries, and would still give us a total less than Everton’s. Especially when you consider all those signings are offset by a certain fridge being sold for £85m. So we are still up financially over the last few years. And Benkovic was an investment in a young player who has been hampered by injuries although prefer that sort of signing to Vestergaard, as he could have gone on to be a decent signing based on his Celtic loan. Also their 2 new signings have been full backs. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
