The Official Silly Season Summer Transfer Thread 2018/19

[Roberty]

From Sky Sports:


NEWCASTLE AND FULHAM IN MITROVIC STALEMATE

Newcastle and Fulham remain apart over their valuation of Aleksandar Mitrovic.

The Serb striker is back training on Tyneside after returning from an extended holiday following the World Cup.

Doesn't sound like anything is close

just had a idea that this wouldn't be easy getting mitro could go to the wire this one!

Here we go again.
Let's try to save £500k and then miss the player we need and know fits the team......

:031:

Perhaps we are paying market rate for a player they are trying to get rid off, who had a good season in our system(no guarantee it would have worked as well at Anderlecht) and started 5 games in the prem last year...

Guess what, he may not even be our first choice...

Why on earth do you think we should spend more than we have to to buy him - he is a cast off and there is no one who does not know that - so he should be priced accordingly

I'm sure that the atmosphere at Darsley Park is wonderful today and that they were all so happy to have him back.

He is not a dimwit and knows the situation - I'm sure he is enjoying Rafa's pain, since he's suffered so much pain from him

More David Lopez drama, he has been offered a new contract, but is reluctant to sign it. If he doesn't it is likely that a higher offer than we've had thus far would be able to get him here.

I don't know how much truth there is in this (and I've never heard of this before) but.....apparently we offered enough for the player that gave him permission to talk to us (must be a clause in his contract) even though our offer falls well short of his buy out clause. They thought the terms we offered are significantly higher than what he is currently earning (about triple according to the site) and his club can't get close to that in their new contract offer to him

Talkshi*e saying Fulham looking to other options striker wise,maybe Mitro want happen then?😵

That was my point - Or was that to someone else?

Guy on Talk Sport just said Seri's got a heart problem, insinuating that's why 'bigger' teams didn't get him. First I've heard of this.

First I've heard of a heart problem. He has the thing where he struggles a bit in cold weather, but then I was reading that apparently Nice were able to manage it with medication so...

Have no knowledge of his medical issue, but that sounds like a cold air induced asthmatic to me...

But Hey, heart, lungs, they are all the same right?

No, he has chillbains. It just means he'll be wearing sleeves and gloves in winter.

So, Lupus.

Thanks for clarifying. That is a bit different than a heart issue though. Will be interested to see if he does in fact miss a game or two a season if the temperatures approach freezing levels.

[Mince n Tatties]

Has Crouchie passed his medical?😊

[Roberty]

That was my point - Or was that to someone else?

Great minds think alike - I think we both replied at about the same time

Since Tony Khan has been pulling a lot of good quality and unexpected rabbits out of the hat - I would not be at all surprised to find out that he has another Ace up his sleeve - if that is the case maybe Newcastle will pay us to collect Mitro

[Mince n Tatties]

Breaking News....Newcastle in for Rondon,and after signing the Japanese lad surely they'll let Mitro go.😵

it doesn't sound like Lupus. Therapeutic immune deficiency.

The only source that Seri has any issue other than chillbains is a talksport pundit who realistically shouldn't have any inside knowledge.

And chillbains isn't lupus.

Is chillbains related to Leighton?

'Ski pricing Morata at 62m !!!
Mitro looks good value ven at 20m ...is someone being bloody minded6?
Side note....I see Freddo got a few minutes in the friendly against Villa coming on for Zabelleta.

He actually cost less than a Freddo...  (please don't jump me re: salary, agent fee, signing fee etc)

Adrian Chilblains, he supports WBA doesn't he?

No someone - presumably Tony Khan is being realistic - how much is an unwanted player worth - why should we pay more - I'm sure they have welcomed him back to their training ground today - maybe Rafa should not have told everyone that he does not want him and will not play him

If Tony Khan is playing hard-ball it is for a reason - it's probably because he's got an ace up his sleeve

I thought I read on here that Seri suffers from ingrowing toenails?!

Add to that, Gayle to West Brom in exchange for Rondon.

Followed by a King Queen Jack I expect, but no Jokers.

Sky caught him on camera going into Newcastle's training ground today and he stopped for autographs but looked very glum.. didn't smile or force a smile once. Clearly doesn't want to be there.
