Scenes all over the Geordie nation when the latest signing news broke...

Christ - Darren Peacock hasn't half let himself go.

Reminds me of Swansea squeezing us for £40m+ for Gylfi.
Everybody knows how rich they are so why do they think they can go all tight ars* Daniel Levy style and expect clubs to sell to them?

 

[Marius57]

Just had a message from one of my geordie mates in our group chat saying he isn't bitter but he hopes VDB is s*** for us. They were all hoping to sign VDB (who said he didn't want to join a team in a relegation scrap ?)

They have spent almost £90m after buying Dan Burns.

 

[hktoffee]

Confirmed now.

Depressing.

Indeed. We should be signing these type of player.

Really weird transfer business from the Toon

£40m on Guimaraes
£12m on Trippier
£25m on Wood
£13m on Burn
Potentially a loan for Dean Henderson

Why hasn’t our game against them that was supposed to be on December 29th been rearranged?

Other than the top one, looks like they're hedging their bets for a tilt at the Championship next season.

Dunno Mike, the only one of our 3 that got rearranged was Leicester and they pulled out of it

Guimaraes £33m as the initial fee.

They are targeting the Villa second choice lb for £15m

Not weird if it keeps them up I suppose. As average as Burn is he is better than the defenders Newcastle have got.

Been a corking transfer window for us so far.

A first-choice England full-back who's just won La Liga and was adored by Diego Simeone; a fairly dependable striker who routinely scores double-figures in the PL; a Brazilian international centre-mid and one of the most wanted prospects on the continent; and a decent CB being taken out of one of the best defences in the league.

Upgrades in every single case, which was the most important thing. Been nice to pick up another one or two like; we've certainly given ourselves a fighting chance of staying up regardless, if only due to the scale of the upgrades on what we had.

The problem is you've spent around £83 million and the team is still light years away from the top 6 never mind top 4.

Thats when the reality soon dawns on the Newcastle fans expecting a title push in the next few years of the farce that FFP is as you simply cant afford the players that really push you up there (not just the fees but the wages).
