As the chant goes, he only cost £5mill, he also scored a good number of goals over several seasons so although he has been poor for a while (which began when he was played out of position under Poch because we didn’t have signings) in the grand scheme of things his wages dont offend me. Whereas the money that Ndombelle and Aurier spunked out of transfer budget (signing on fee, wages & resale value) is boadering on theft.

I get your point. But I’d still rather that than them be here
Sad about dele. The others bollox to em
Hopefully the latter!
As much as it physically pains me to give them any credit, and while it’s obvious there are pretty significant loopholes, I think the evidence is growing that FFP has changed behavior.
Newcastle can’t do it the way Chelsea and City did without forgoing Champions League football for an indefinite period.
We’re well positioned to compete at the very top of the sport, IF we can maintain high ticket demand and make ourselves regulars in the CL, both of which are rapidly slipping away.
Oh, and of course if we fire all of the executive leadership of the club and entirely transform the way we do business and the organizational commitment to sporting integrity. That too.

You can't unsettle players during the season. Sometimes that doesn't work out. Speak to her agent. Perhaps a loan deal could work.I was edging closer.
Than....
A point from Chelsea would have been great, now our advantage is getting smaller and we've shown in the past to not seize this sort of advantage.
I don't think Bergjwin is like a new signing, however I want him to be, and if we do get Traore I can see us only getting some youngster in as well. Nobody else.
Does that mean Ndombele owes us a few quid? Dread to think how much
Cheers mate, it needs to be stronger, a "get the fuck out of here". Maybe "angrily rebuffed".
What evidence have you seen for FFP? Because I'm not sure I've seen any... A despotic country with enough money for world domination has just bought Newcastle, with barely any questions asked... They likely have a lair in a volcano, a shark tank and plans for a death-ray in space. We have no hope.
corrected for you
He seems to be the 3rd or 4th best player on a fairly mediocre Fiorentina team why would we have any interest in this guy?
He also seems to add a lot of what we have, hard work defensive play zero passing quality and zero creativity. He doesn't appear to be able to take on the deep lying playmaker role, isn't a creative number 10-ish (I know Conte doesn't use a 10). He seems to a lesser version of PEH and Skipp so another Winks?
Maybe if wages were performance based, these 'big talents', would actually be motivated to show what they can do...
…and his Ticktoks are shit.
Thank fuck I was really getting worried we weren’t going to sign any one
I feel much better about things now
To be fair he has scored a lot of goals before his contract and had a lot of credit/goodwill in his locker.
He's probably peed off that Ndombele is on more than him
