Flopped at Milan but looks better at Atalanta
Why do they always go with the line about selling clubs wanting to sell for more than a previous player?
As if that's relevant at all to the value of this player..
I watched Atalanta the other day and learned that he's on loan there.
Played as #9 and really impressed me tbh. Scored twice, really good feet and passing.
Not schoolgirl hit me one more time Britney or shaved headed loony off the rails Britney? Must be a close 2nd at least
I think CDK is their record sale so they're probably using that transfer as a yardstick, "if CDK is worth x Nusa must be worth y". It's probably made up press bullshit anyway but I could see clubs applying this sort of logic, we as fans do it all the time.
Tbh I'd love to know what clubs generally agree on as methods to calculate transfer value. Transfermarkt almost always calculate the value lower.
Doesn't even come close mate.
Probably an age thing
I feel like Transfermarkt value is pretty accurate to what the selling club would want if they were actively marketing the player, book value of a player the club actually doesn't want to sell is always going to be sigfnificantly higher than that. If you look at Winks' transfermarkt value as an example of a player we recently willingly sold, it's 12m euros, so roughly £10m which is precisely what we sold him for.
It all comes down to how much you trust your scouting.
Everyone kinda knew 25m for Alex Scott would turn out to look like peanuts in a couple seasons. Plenty of other examples where it's just obvious.
If we think Wharton is in that bracket then we should be comfortable paying it.
Gone are the days of getting a high potential HG player who is already performing well in the Championship for 10-15m.
Newcastle now considering surprise move for £20m Tottenham player this week
This could get the ball rolling 👀
It is thought that Eddie Howe would like to recruit a midfielder before January ends, especially given Joe linton is now injured.
And that desire could have a significant ripple effect across the Premier League.
Tottenham are also thought to be keeping an eye on any opportunities that could arise in the midfield market, having shown interest in Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher.
And given the shock news that Newcastle are now interested in a deal for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, things could really get moving.
Newcastle are considering a loan move for Tottenham player Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg
Journalist Aaron Stokes uncovered the news today whilst speaking on The Chronicle.
Stokes said he’s been hearing rumours of Newcastle’s interest in Tottenham midfielder Hojbjerg, a loan move that would look achievable.
He said: “There’s one name that’s been sort of bubbling and rumbling away under the surface for the last couple of weeks and that is Hojbjerg at Tottenham, apparently on loan.
“I’m not sure, I don’t have that confirmed that that is the case, but that is you know, a deal that you could hope Newcastle could strike.
“A player out of favour at a top six club, who they might be able to do a favourable loan deal for.
“But I’ve just sat here and said I think Trippier and Wilson and Almiron will all be at the club this time next week.
“That means, you know, I can’t then say they’re going to go and spend money because I just think until they get players off the books it’s going to be a very, very careful month.”
January is heating up
As mentioned, it does seem as if a move for Tottenham’s Hojbjerg would be very dependent on Newcastle’s ability to sell a player or two.
But should that be the case, then Spurs may consider £20m Hojbjerg’s departure on loan as green light to pursue their key targets.
Perhaps a deal for Conor Gallagher could then be reignited.
Of course, it also seems as if Newcastle could go down a different route if they are able to achieve the sales mentioned.

"Ange doesn't play players out of position" - agreed. But #6 is one of the two positions for Bentancur, so it is not needed in that context. It is not under discussion - Ange has been coach in games where Benta has started at #6.
Just like playing Son on ST or LW - neither is playing him out of position. Or like playing Deki on #10 or on RW is not playing them out of position.
Seems a lot of cash for him though doesnt it?
If it gets near that figure that must include all the usual impossible to reach add ons.
