Newcastle valued him at £40 million according to reports, they didn’t value Dom at that though. At 19 years of age was he guaranteed to come in and fill his spot? Sorry but I would have had serious doubts. This guy looks good but for me he isn’t what we need right now. We need to secure mid table next season and then push on from there. In the future I’d be for this kind of deal, at this moment in time, no.
Reporst were we were geting around 35m for DCL before the deal broke down.
Also the fee for players was agreed by the clubs. Deal only broke down because DCLs wage demands were too high.
Minteh isnt DCL replacement hes a winger. We would of singed his replacement with the 30m odd we would of recived from the deal.
Essentially we could of ended up with a front 3 of
Philogene adebayo minteh
Out of one deal with the player + the wiggle room it would of allowed us with psr. Now were stuck DCL if he can stay fit and the two snails on the wings.
