Sly Posted 30 July 2022 Share Posted 30 July 2022 If Newcastle were to recruit the best of the rest, they’d be a threat. It’ll happen, as they’re the richest club in the world. In theory, if they wanted to spend the money, they could have a team of: Pope Trippier Botman Fofana Cucurella St Maxim Tielemans N’Didi Maddison Barnes Werner That’s a team that would cause them issues!

We are not broke. Just need (just need😳) to shift out the expensive and surplus deadwood due to Fair Play Rules. The fact that a team (I think in Italy) have been demoted because they are 40m Euros in debt, of which 9.5m is a bad debt from Barcelona) just shows how sick these rules are.

But Newcastle have high ambitions, they need better players and will know they can't yet poach from top of the table clubs, guess we're in the next bracket they feel they can purchase our best players. I think they aren't as attractive as they think... yet. They haven't done any great business and will want a marquee singing to show progress to their fans. I thought top says we want to be fighting for Europe? Now we’ve got mid table teams bidding for our players, hardly shows ambition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think that’s even better than the team we could put out if we were to stop messing about and sign a RW? You’ve got 4 players from Leicester there? You might as well have neymar, mappe, van Dijk in there too while you’re at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bigger concern is if we start to accept bids for our perceived better players from clubs we deem as competition for best of rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've spent a lot of time in the Middle East and they may have loads of money but when it comes to buying anything they can't help but haggle over the price and try and get a bargain. They have started already. Imagine an Arabic Daniel Levy. They may realize this isn't working and then feel like they are losing face if the team struggles and then really chuck money at it but it will take time I reckon. If that moment comes then yes they will be a big threat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrispinLA in Texas Posted 30 July 2022 Share Posted 30 July 2022 All the s*** in the media this week that Leicester are skint....have to sell to buy...have no to money etc etc. Seems to have raised eyebrows at other clubs.

They have read the papers and assumed we are desperate. It's more of an opportunistic punt rather than a detailed list of players they need to move forward. Proper scattergun stuff. We should publicly state his asking price of £100m then bid £10m for saint-maxim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayfox26 Posted 30 July 2022 Share Posted 30 July 2022 Christ this is a depressing place. If the media and some people on here are to be listened to (they are not) then we may as well fold the club as we are selling all out players and never signing another player ever!

Personally, I think low balling in business is counterproductive. Embarrassing a potential business partner, as Newcastle have done with us, is a bad way to start off a business relationship. Chelsea have never pissed us about on 3 deals worth 100m quid. Nor Ed Woodward at Man U. And guess what? we were pragmatic enough to do business with them. Man City we even managed a fairly reasonable compromise and all parties felt they'd had a minor 'win' in the Mahrez deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
