If we can get 50M for him, I would take it.

Resolves any PSR problems without having to sell any more players.

be leaving on a free

Isn't he out of contract? Why would someone give us 50M?

50m for an out of contract 35 year old?

What is in the water in Iceland??

They’re all cousins… but like being from St. Helens but with no escape.

 

[Paul Rideout]

Can see it being true money his religion way off life over there and stuff but maybe the chance play in bmd might convince him is hard tho

Won’t get In Trouble for not wearing rainbow laces Over there.

All these numbers are taken from Transfermarkt (I'm not about to look up the individual £ prices, sue me)

Hall - €30m
Tonali - €58m
Barnes - €44m
Livramento - €37m
Isak - €70m
Gordon - €45m
Guimares - €42m
Joelinton - €43m

These are big fees, are you sure they'd get 'significant profit' on all? Who there would command a 2x (maybe Guimares and maybe Isak, but the rest?). The other issue is Newcastle just don't have the 'book profit' others do - the assets coming through their youth system are not good enough, not even for little profit.

Now look at the Arrivals Vs Departures fees since 21/22 - It does not make for pretty reading:
- €130M in/€0M out (21/22)
- €185M in/€14M out (22/23)
- €148M in/€44M out (23/24)
- €68M in/€89M out (24/25)

Newcastle is not a model that we should follow

Yes to be honest I think you would get a profit on each and every one of those players.

But that's not really the issue.

You said they were in a PSR mess. They may have some constraints but only have to sell Isak for a big profit and the purse strings are loosened.

read the gana article, reads more like his agent fishing for the best deal and putting some pressure on Everton

hopefully we can box him off for another year at least.

saudi does make sense for him at some point, but surely he wants one more year playing Premier league football at the new ground

as with all of these saudi deals for multi millionaires, is his life going to be in any way different going form 80k to 200k odd a week?

the lad is basically a monk, no drink, no gambling, no girls, surely he doesn't need the cash

…it’s not just him, his representatives will all be looking for a nice pay day before he hangs up his boots and he probably gives plenty to Senegal, he seems particularly patriotic.

im sure having earned a premier league salary and a PSG salary for over 10 years he is already more than capable of this

It will probably be more like 350k a wk and for someone like gana it would be an opportunity to take care of his family back in Senegal as well. I could see him investing in the community like kante did, also he's a devout Muslim and even with the extremism and human rights abuses there , conservative muslims see it as an ideal place to live

Net -€384 million on player transactions over the past 4 years, it's going to take more than an Isak sale to loosen purse strings.

But you seem to have forgotten the original point which is Newcastle are not model we should be following - by your logic to 'loosen purse strings' they need to sell their most valuable asset

Bit of perspective as everyone continues debating Moyes’ record at West Ham. He’s smashed it compared to this mess.

 

[Makis]

Ten Hag is not someone who signs players, he came from Ajax and the usual model in the continent is that the so-called manager is just head coach who works with the team he's given.

Any wonder the mess they're in?

That top 3 have been absolutely scandalous transfers.
