This whole peace bollocks and sone press saying we'd have a hard time getting Carvalho after Fulham being furious with the Elliot deal is a joke. The fee was set by tribunal so no doubt they were a bit pissed at the fee, but any issues were sorted with tbe Harry Wilson deal, allowing them to pay later for FFP reasons.  Same as any suggestion they could play hardball with Carvalho, 6 months left on the deal, if he go abroad you get nothing. They didn't hold any cards at all. Glad he sees out the season with them if the deal happens though.

Watched the Fulham game yesterday and Carvalho was shite. Not big or physical enough, not especially quick, pushed off the ball easily, had a real attitude too, a proper shit weasel. I wouldn't waste £5m on him.

 

Harry Wilson is miles better.

[Megadrive Man]

Harry Wilson is five years older than Carvalho, Wilson was far too lightweight at the same age. 

 

Carvalho seems like a bit of a money ball signing, we probably think that we can develop him, and then sell him on at a big profit in a few years.

If that's the case then great because he's nowhere near good enough to play for us.

[Pidge]

Not often we pass something to Joyce unless there's confidence it'll happen.  Echo were onto it earlier too.

 

I wonder if Porto have been in touch...

Not keen on spending the next few years with people assuming you're his biggest fan then?

Or develop him and be a good player for us!

 

The lad's supposedly being tracked by other clubs so Im not on board with this buy to sell him. It might work out that way but equally, we could be buying him, like Elliott, to develop and use him.

[Lee909]

Looks like Dembele to PSG

Possible swap with Icardi. 

 

Also Milan agreed a deal for Renato Sanches but deal off due to wage demands

Just my opinion. The kid is miles away and will never make it.

 

Would love it if he proves me wrong.

How funny would it be if Burnley bought Origi for 12-15ml with the fund Newcastle gave them for Woods and he kept them up at Newcastles expense

What have you seen that makes you think this?

 

He looks to be at the same level Elliott was last season.

Just done some Youtube scouting.  Seems a bit lightweight, not sure he would settle.

[3 Stacks]

The lightweight piece. To be a top player you have to gain weight, you just do. Always has been the case. Put 20 pounds of rock hard muscle on Fab Carvalhos frame and then lets talk.

I’d rather keep him for that amount and fuck those ale house cunts anyway.

 

Newcastle relegated they’ll bounce straight back up, Burnley will probably be gone for good.

The game v Blackpool at the weekend and I disagree.

Christian Eriksen has signed for Brentford. Rumours that United have entered the race for Dembele. Burnley are bringing in Wout Weghorst from Wolfsburg

[Pidge]

Thought dembele had agreed terms with PSG.

I hope the mancs sign Dembele. 

[Scott_M]

Another Newcastle signing…

 

 

Seeing Geordies on Twitter “buzzing” at their signings, but to me, they are mostly meh…

 

Trippier - Good player.

Wood - Shite. 
This Brazilian midfielder - He has 3 Brazil caps in a squad where Fred is an ever present and not played for them since 2020. Can’t help that think if he was that good, he wouldn’t be going to Newcastle.

Dan Burn - Meh.

Ekitike - Never heard of him until 15 mins ago, his stats look good to be fair. Unsure he’ll be an instant starter.

 

To me, Newcastle are alright going forward. St Maximan, on his day, is a threat, Almiron, Wilson & Friaser are Premiership quality players.

 

Defensively & midfield they are a mess, I don’t see Dan Burn sorting the defensive mess out and it’s a lot to ask Guimarães of in midfield.

 

It all feels very scattergun. 

[Scott_M]

Another meh player. I thought Dan Burn was a left back?

 

[Total Longo]

How much can Newcastle spend before FFP bites them? Yeah i know this has never affected City etc but i'm sure someone gave a figure when the Saudi takeover happened of the amount they could spend in the first window.  

[TD_LFC]

They were well run (financially) under Ashley so plenty of room at the moment.

[CapeRed]

Bar codes spending reminds me of when I was a kid going to Woolies for picknmix. Any d shite will do.
