Transfer Rumours 2015/16

Anthony Martial's transfer documents have been leaked.

- 20m euros last summer (£15m)
- 30m euros July 2016 (£23m)
- 10m euros for reaching 25 goals for United (£7.7m)
- 10m euros for reaching 25 French caps (£7.7m)
- 10m euros for reaching nominated for the Ballon D'Or (the 30 list?) (£7.7m)

£61.1m altogether providing he hits the clauses, which he probably will. Jesus Christ.

Tiote demanding (and not getting) 100k a week from Shanghai Shenua means he's on his way back to Newcastle tomorrow.

What a greedy cunt

Still, more the merrier til the summer.

Hope it doesn't effect the transfers in that we need (LB, ST, RW)

Chinese clubs are such absolute chumps on the transfer market.

Chinese League One (2nd tier) side Tianjin Quanjian spent a total of £13m on the two domestic signings of Lu Zhang and Ke Sun. Bloody insane that!

I heard it was more they wouldn't match the £60k a week he is on now?

Byram has signed for West Ham over Everton, probably the right choice as he is more likely to start games there I think. West Ham also rumoured to be after Sturridge?! One injured ex-Liverpool striker isn't enough, they want another!

Chelsea are apparently getting Pato.

Pato and Falcao. Imagine if it was 2011.

Don't think it's a great signing tbh.

Pedro already wants to leave Chelsea, supposedly

Oh come on haha

Bollocks apparently, his manager is just resting him

He's pulled his bollocks?

Pulling out the deal to sign 2 young english internationals because their price is too much and sticking a 1m bid in for a young senegalese forward instead...

dear me.

£14m for Townsend is a fucking rip-off anyway. I think Matt Phillips at QPR or maybe even Nathan Redmond would be better value for money, although the latter probably wouldn't move due to Norwich probably being more sane than Swansea.

Who's the Senegalese forward?

Jesus, Newcastle have spent £70m ffs. And £45m for two somewhat unproven players is a bit steep.

Doesn't change the fact we need more - if we'd spent consistently over the past 4-5 years rather than the way we've done things we wouldn't need so much investment now.

We're another 50-60m away from a top half team, and we're in dire need of a goalscorer to ensure we stay in the division.

For the record I think 14m on Townsend is too much - but I can see the logic in spending 18-20m on Berahino. And I'm baffled why we wouldnt - I'm especially baffled why we wouldn't buy Charlie Austin for 4m though - although there's no sell on value

How do you come to these figures? 1 year ago Newcastle were in the top 10 and now they need to spend around £130m to get into the top down. The PL has improved by £130m? How many 'Premier League' players do Crystal Palace have? How much would you value their entire squad at?

http://talksport.com/football/premier-league-clubs-ranked-net-spend-last-five-summer-transfer-windows-150903165355?p=8 - Apparently we have the fifth highest net spend in the past five summer windows? cba to find a better link. Do you really think clubs like Palace, WBA, Watford have been consistently outspending Newcastle over the past five years?

Why do people think the decision to only buy Vurnon Anita in 2012 is relevant now?

And the rumours aren't even particularly negative today. One is no one is quite sure if WBA are willing to sell and at what price, and the other is Newcastle are frustrated with Spurs. (The other rumour is that the clubs are getting closer)

Apparently Austin asked for 80k/pw so either that, worries over his knee or the club just don't rate him. And remind me again why a 26 year old Englishman who signed for £4m doesn't have resale value?

I don't know how much meaning that "fifth highest spenders since 2010" comment has given £50+million of that comes out of the net spend in the summer 2015 window. I'd say no permanent buys in 2013/14 knocked us out of sync a little bit, even with the top 10 finish, and the consequent slapdash buying around Europe to compensate in summer 2014 and activity-free January (in an incoming sense at least) was also unhelpful.

We still need more - even moreso if Gouffran, Marveaux and some of the other deadwood are removed as desired. Its been a step in the right direction, but we still need the players who can get us secured in the Premier League, and hopefully in a position where we can not endure apocalyptically terrible form at the start of next season. Again.

You think Newcastle are bad in transfer markets. Try being a Sheffield United fan for one window ffs. We clearly need a Center back or two, and a striker, Adkins says he's put "7" 6 figure bids on the table for numerous players, which isn't bad for a League One side, but they've all been rejected so he's going to make do with what we have.

Can't put out a back four at the weekend but were well stocked in defence so don't need to buy any.

Hmm.

Tbf we've done that before. Still sounds shit though, particularly as Peterborough losing Washington does open the door for SUFC a little bit.

Apparently if Colback is injured or kept in CM, Lascelles at left-back is the option mooted, which given his previous efforts there is asking for trouble. Its either that or throwing the now-fit again Steven Taylor back in at the deep end.

I like how unimpressed with his life choices he looks in the photo.

Absolutely irresponsible not having a 4th choice left back.

Not like in our last two games we played against real full backs like Ashley Young and James Tomkins.

I'd rather we have a first choice given Haidara and Dummett aren't that great, but whatever.

Daniel Amartey is a great signing by Leicester if it goes through.

He's class on FIFA in my Bournemouth career

Aye, be more than happy to sell one of them and buy a better one.

Same with Taylor and we still don't have a back up right back.

If we're buying a defender it should be at CB to partner Colo.....

I thought that was the point of buying Mbemba, who had looked the better of the two until Coloccini began to look arsed in the wake of the pulping by Palace.

Then again Yanga-Mbiwa was signed to replace Coloccini, and wound up being superceded by the same player, so who knows.

We should buy a centre back and a left back and a right back. We need all 3.

Ramires could be joining Chinese side Jiangsu for a fee that could rise to £25m.
