✍️ OFFICIAL Kieran Tierney (Out)

[Blood on the Tracks]

£30m plus add on is the absolute bare minimum we should accept.

You know Newcastle will lowball us and then go and spash £50-60m on someone else.

 

[Hunta]

£25m is more realistic.

He’s on over £100k a week, I doubt Newcastle have more than 3/4 on that money. In fact barring Trippier I don’t think they’d have anyone on that type of money right now.

 

[bingobob]

I think they've spent over £250m in the last two seasons, so there will be an element of balancing the books based on previous transfer activity. You could argue they did the speculating to get into this spot and now they need a period of consolidation if they're taking ffp seriously.

Just read they made a 70m loss and have a 94.6 wage to turnover ratio for 21/22. It'll be interesting to see how they fix that.

 

[Mudi]

Send him to Villa, they will pay £35m and at least you don't strengthen Newcastle.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

I don't buy Newcastle pleading poverty. I think they're playing games.

They haven't spent an obscene amount of money since the takeover and they have CL football now.

 

[Ljonin]

So they’re trying to fool us they don’t have any money?

Who could have seen that coming

 

[RacingPhoton]

They obviously have money. But it might take them quite awhile to set up foolproof dodgy finances to help them do it all without being punished for breaking FFP.

 

[Blankety Blank]

Just read they made a 70m loss and have a 94.6 wage to turnover ratio for 21/22. It'll be interesting to see how they fix that.

I'm sure they can find extra 'sponsorship' deals.

That's what happens when you keep
spending above ur grade. The thing about football all the money ends up with players and agents.
Fans and media scream at clubs to spend, spend, spend but in general terms unless you have access to a slush fund & doing shady things It's not sustainable.

The thing is with the new uefa rules the wage & transfer fee to turnover ratio needs to get down to 70% in a couple of years which seems reasonable.

However if you breach the rules & nothing major is done clubs will still flout it.

Can that really be so? £25m, the same as what we paid, to one of the richest clubs in the world? Surely we can get at least £30m?

 

[boonthegoon]

Newcastle not interested anymore?

 

[Sanchez11]

Newcastle not interested anymore?

Staying then

 

[Hunta]

Loan him to Celtic.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

30M is really hard for you Newcastle? you paid 25M for Willock and you were broke now you own by oil. do not fool us.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

"Arsenal are driving a hard bargain"

 

[Heavy Duty Rom]

Fascinating that nobody wants him. Almost as if i was right all along. Mid player.

 

[MikeVinna]

Or maybe he’s not desperate to leave and we’re not desprate to sell under his value. Letting him go means signing a replacement so why lower our valuation?

He's not desperate to leave? Means he's given up on his career if he is not looking to leave despite somehow being third/fourth choice in his position now even though we only have two LBs.

Lol. Like this would ever happen…

 

[VibalistDK]

We should absolutely not sell this man. He's such an amazing deputy to Zinchenko, and with Champions League coming up he'll get plenty of rotation time.
There's also reports out there that Arteta has convinced him to stay. I'm certain he considers him important as well.

He's so good that he didn't play even when fit & Zinny was out for several games towards the end of the season & earlier when Tomi was preferred.

Teta does not rate or trust him enough.
