Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Few bookies just suspended betting on Charlie Austin to join Newcastle. Austin and Mitrovic? £45 million on three players? Fat man is keeping his word. The revolution v2.6

I was mistaken about the actual budget though. We understood there'd be 60 million available. That however appears to be 'spare cash available on the accounts in may, it now appears with that taken into account plus a ridiculous TV deal the actual budget is closer to £100 million. Or to take the board room quote ' Six Players'

Bas Dost fizzled out after they suggested we pay £30 million..

Spread the word though. The fat man's pockets are leaking.

There has to be a balance though. We're not asking for the ludicrous Freddy Shepherd spending. We're asking for players we actually need. Players like Sissoko are solid. The defence can go. Ayoze Perez is simply brilliant, this lad is genius. He's not Messi but if you watch him it's clear he's trying to head that way. He can't just be benched when megabucks players come. Ronaldo Aarons too. His performance against city in the league cup is enough to convince anyone he's going to be special.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Adz.

Mbemba wanted as well as Mitrovic? both players have been light training according to this. Wolfsburg & Atletico Madrid are in intereted in Mbemba too. €10m (£6.9m) for Mbemba is putting clubs off

http://www.hln.be/hln/nl/923/Sport/a...derlecht.dhtml

Mitrovics transfer offer from Newcastle. €16.5m-£11.5m transfer fee. €2.4m-£1.6m salary net 35k + bonuses of (conversion rate a bit off) 10,000 pounds (€ 11,700) per draw and 20,000 pounds (€ 23,500) per win + €2m-£1.4m signing on fee.

Former club Partizan Belgrade will receive 20% of the transfer fee. Anderlecht to get 5% of any future transfer out of Newcastle.

http://www.dhnet.be/sports/football/...708aa437073d57

Mitrovic could earn between £60-70k

also Mbemba has 4 birthdays :shocked:

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

The original link between Mbemba and Newcastle was a northern journalist merely suggesting Newcastle take a look at him. Not sure if it's still just paper talk or genuine.

Not sure if Charlie Austin was a backup bid or whether they'll still pursue him now that Mitrovic is travelling for a medical. He could do a Remy yet, maybe Newcastle will pay for his travel and he'll end up in Chelsea instead.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Mitrovic at the Hilton.

Mbemba to travel shorty for a medical before signing for £6.5 million

Double deal of £20 million.

Strange times at Newcastle...

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

It will certainly be a interesting season up there with the wally in the brolly at the helm and suddenly he is getting good financial support from the owner as well.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

heres a bit on Mitrovic

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/foo...ds-minder.html

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Steve McClaren has made a statement that there's still a few signings to go and are far bigger and more surprising than Mitrovic, Gino or Mbemba :shocked:

I think that's a massive hint at Charlie Austin or Saido Berahino but he also went on to say a few of these signings have been kept massively under wraps and will only be revealed once it's clear they can't be hijacked.. See Loic Remy.

Mbemba to be confirmed tomorrow anyway.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Well I have seen some substitutions in pre season games but have never seen the full 11 changed at one go, then the second 11 walk right through Barca and score in less than two minutes. United 2-0 Barca. :cool:

3-1 final score, seven of United's 11 subs came through the youth team, mind you Barca did hit the post 3 times and Messi and Neymar didn't play.
