DiabyKungFu yep. If we do this. We will have 60 mil+ and 200k per week on Watkins. It will be 65 mil and 275k on his back-up, Havertz and just the 45mil and 265k per week for 3rd choice Jesus. Insane waste of money.

I still say/hope that VIlla won't sell.
We bid for him last week, there was no news, today when the Saudis were pushing for Boniface and not Duran this comes out...so I do hope it's Villa trying to put some pressure on them. They will sell Duran and keep Watkins and save us.

Coombs I agree with everyone who wants Isak, he is amazing. But can someone tell me why will Newcastle sell him to us? The guy has 3 years left, they do not need the money. Ornstein said today that the deal seems imposible.

        HomeSteak we need to force it. That's what big clubs do. Tap him up, make him go on strike, Arteta can go watch Netflix with his mom, I don't care.

          Mirth Jesus is just a cost at this stage. Can't be avoided but shouldn't be considered a player moving forward.

              Qwiss loved the guy when he arrived. but all good things come to an end. he's just deadweihght now.

              @Coombs there is nothing to force. He is owned by a rich club that is fighting for top 4 and could be a marketing pillar ahead of the World Cup in Saudi.

                  Claudius players have power. It's been proven time and again. Time to start rectifying our cowardly mistakes, and that means paying for them, literally.

                    Rumour that Villa are considering offer from Saudi from Duran. If they do, then that's the end of our exploration

                      QuincyAbeyie they made a mistake last summer. Making the same mistake now would be disastrous.

                        Claudius seems like it's done. That's that.

                        We suck at transfers.

                            it was a hailmary anyway. would've ended in tears.

                              JazzG some of these Saudi deals look like money laundering. Cos wtf is that fee

                                Coombs waited till too late in the window

                                  Mirth my point is we won’t be able to shake Jesus off for a while

                                  Jesus is done in 18 months.

                                      Coombs
                                      What amount of money do you imagine will convince Newcastle to sell?

                                          RowJimmy don't care. Just work on the player and give them whatever.

                                            Panda Don't understand why nothing is happening around that guy. He's the perfect profile for us and has a non-outlandish release clause. Thought he was very impressive when we played Sporting even though we crushed them.
