Great, two more weeks of this tedious saga.

...Daily Mail reporting that.

Newcastle aren't paying £20 million for anybody. Certainly not a defensive midfielder when they have 3 or 4 already.

Hooray done tonight then!

He makes me laugh him.

Late in the window is no good to Swansea as they need to move on a replacement.

If it really is going to drag on that long then I hope we are putting the wheels in motion on other targets in the mean time. Need and CB and target man before the window ends.

Great, two more weeks of this tedious saga.

it is already late in the window so probably a safe bet

To say we haven't spent major money isn't really true though. We might have balanced out transfer fees but when you take into account the costs of buying players and the extra wages, we've definitely spent a large amount of cash.

Klaassen 24m : 70k
Pickford 30m : 80k
Keane 30m : 80k
Sandro 5.2m : 80k
Henry 7m : No extra wage costs because of loan deal
Rooney 10m : 150k
Bowler 2m : 10k
Gibson 6m : 10k

114.2m : roughly 480k per week added to the wage bill.

Geri 10.5m : 50k
Lukaku 100m : 80k
The Clev 8m : 60k

118.5m : roughly 190k per week removed from the wage bill.

That's without including any of the transfers from the last two windows which no doubt added to the wage bill (Morgan, Bolasie, Williams etc).

Considering it's before a very likely £40m + 120k per week transfer in Gylfi, we haven't spent small change.

You've forgotten Mcgeady, Valencia and Kone's wages. It looks likely Barkley, Barry, Robles and Niasse will likely be off the wage bill before the window shuts as well.

Which piece........

Doesn't matter, we've lost the other 499

Errrrrrrrr isn't it already late in the window.

Like I said, we've also brought in players on top money other than what I've noted. This easily balances out any Kone wages lol.

Schneiderlin is would be on £100k, Bolasie probably £80k and Williams on similar.

If we're counting players who haven't yet left, you could quite easily say that the "3 more" Koeman wants will cover any further outgoing transfers. Sigurdsson will be earning McGeady, Kone and Valencia's wages alone.

I would also hope that Moshiri/the club are putting something aside from the TV money for the stadium.

It wouldn't be unrealistic to assume we've spent £10-15m on agent fees this summer either.

It's not just a simple transfer outgoings - transfer income = net spend.

Comical Ali had more credibility than this whopper. Can't believe some people still take him seriously.

Crazy, isn't it?

People look at net spend because it fits their agenda where we aren't spending the money we should be.

MOSHIRI THE FRAUD SPENDING £40M ON ICELAND???!!!
