Much better now. 🙂 Edited January 10, 2023 by OhForAGreavsie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should have been moves made a couple years ago that were ignored. We have been hit unbelievably hard with injuries. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad transfers, running contracts down, sanctions, new owners etc etc. Newcastle have gone from pure negatively week in week out with fans, mike Ashley etc etc l, to now been on cloud 9 richest club in England by far.

If he does super well here Atleti (having just now extended his contract) can demand £100m or more for him in the summer. Or just not consider selling him at all. I mean, with Boehly in charge I have no doubt that he would pay what Atleti ask for if he wants to stay, but with the previous regime in charge we would’ve insisted and likely succeeded in agreeing a buy option for something reasonable. Injuries made us desperate, clearly. We agreed to a pretty shit deal out of desperation. We've had our pants pulled down if I am honest. Despite the fact he could be a good signing. If he does well and we get up the table wont mind as much but wouldn't think he will be coming here next season. Full wages for 6 months which are 250k per week, a €11m loan fee and no option to buy. Plus he’s renewed his contract there to protect Atletico’s investment in him there also. Not even a mention of an option like the Kovacic loan either. Some places even speculating now that they aren’t sure Potter specifically wanted him either. Apparently consulted but thats as far as it goes as they see him as “head coach” more than the manager. Although his job title is head coach, going on this info, the signings from now I would imagine will be targets chosen more by a recruitment team. Similar to how Salzburg and Leipzig do it.

I don’t know. I would of thought if he didn't have some sort of option/clause, we wouldn’t of been able to buy him due to the transfer ban. Could be wrong but don’t see how we managed to get him otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We we're banned from registering players but since Kovacic was already registered on loan we could buy him but I don't think he had any buy option.
