Shrewd move for Ajax. He will get 15 goals and 10 assists and will sell him for a decent profit. There will always be clubs out there who will take the bait of sexy Eredivisie stats.
How much are they spending for him? My guess would have been no higher than €10 million. Newly promoted teams in the EPL have the unique quandary of an influx of cash but the inability to attract the players that are actually worth 20 million. It could happen.
Always seemed likely when it came out that Roman liked him. I still doubt that any move is official until we get a manager which has been happening “tomorrow” every single day for the last month so who knows.
I should have been more thorough by clarifying the rather unique Portuguese diaspora to Wolverhampton. Good ole Jorge Mendes.
Yeah that was strange. I’m surprised Lazio fans response to that wasn’t a nuclear one. They aren’t known for having an easy going nature.
Lots of smoke that Matt Ritchie is headed to Stoke City DelapThrows Apparently Rafa is wanting Townsend and Kenedy
This was priority #1. Glad Khan is pulling the wallet out. With Cairney and Sessegnon staying around I like our chances to stay up this year.
I mean, 20mm is a lot to put elsewhere but who knows what you could get and if they'll fit the system
Better get it done, but I'm sure its just posturing to try to get more money. Newcastle doesn't even really want him. 20 mil already seems a bit high.
I think most Newcastle fans were hoping for 20-25. Fans love the guy, but Rafa doesn't rate him. It's how it goes sometimes.
