 I did feel at the start of the summer that 2 or 3 quality additions could really kick us on next season, but it's looking more and more likely that it could be another summer of upheaval and high volume.

I agree. 3 key additions and we should be good. But here we are playing Football Manager again

He’d be better than KDH thats for sure.

This is a sign that the ownership and football crowd are just here to turn a profit without being competitive.

He isn’t an upgrade on anyone we have in midfield though so it really is a pointless move. Even Gallagher, who splits fan opinions.

KDH would be a good signing for me, I would certainly take him over Conor on a reinvestment piece, tweets aside. Thought he was a good player with Barnes and Madi as well.

What's this Isak isn't worth £120m etc? Not saying he is but people referencing his La Liga days like players can't improve? That's akin to De Bruyne not becoming worth a staggering staggering amount because he was deemed impatient here and we got a decent fee back when. Would be all for Isak however I would certainly prefer to sort other positions.

If we can shift Rom to Saudi for the reported £38m then we've got some real funds to play with. Newcastle take Broja for £35m, we take Isak for £120m, PSR PSR PSR, this time next year Rodney...

Loan i'd be ok with but not selling so soon. Seems like we are continuing the theme  with this regime of planting seeds then pulling them out before they have fully grown.atleast under Roman they were allowed to sprout on loan somewhere.

Kellyman official.

 

Welcome, young man.

[We Hate Scouse 10,327]

Welcome to the kid that'll always be known as the PSR bypass product. 

[Pizy 18,952]

Will we ever see Kellyman in a Chelsea shirt after preseason, I wonder…

£20m and I have no idea.

[Special Juan 28,140]

Kellyman will be around the team as bring as it comes, the odd cameo against teams when the games are dead, that's if he isn't loaned which is very likely

The Isak thing is really interesting as Newcastle took an approach from Liverpool for Gordon- they really do need funds and quite a sum apparently, one to watch

Anyone explain this to me? 

How are we able to spend so much where as these teams can't? 

Is it due to us historically having these sums covered? And our outgoings over all these years? And then I assume the wage thing comes into play - because a lot of people are citing that is the reason Villa is on there. 

Maybe our board is forward thinking and not getting enough credit with this wage reduction stuff?

I think it's more to do with how Newcastle/Villa/Everton were run in previous years and that is catching up to them.

I just don't see them selling their best attacker, would be almost as bad as Bruno G wanting to move elsewhere.

There will be more to this story.  There's no way Kellyman is worth 19 million at this stage of his career.   

It will be interesting to see whether other clubs complain about these 'PSR' deals.

I see one of our nearest rivals United are going for Ugarte and De Ligt. Two players who were hyped up as soon to be superstars and then flopped at their new clubs. People complain about us not going for “big names,” but it isn’t always necessary. I would be happy if they waste money on those two than get actual top class ones.

De Ligt and Ugarte are hardly flops though.

De Ligt was excellent at Ajax and Juventus but has mainly struggled with fitness at Bayern.

Ugarte was popular here when we were linked also but just hasn’t worked out at Paris. This happens though, just like with Enzo and Moises here so far, hasn’t particularly worked out but doesn’t mean we’ve given up on them.

Does that make them bad players? No. Would take both in a heartbeat if the deals were favourable. Ugarte was a big opportunity last summer and was disappointed we didn’t get him particularly. Way your making them out as if they are second rate players, they are far far from it.

I would take de ligt and ugarte in Chelsea without a problem 

[Strike 7,493]

 

Explains the interest in Isak. Can go back in with a 40m + Madueke offer and see if Newcastle agree.

Chelsea close to signing the Argentine defender

He fits perfectly in our team..as per money I don't care because it's not my money🤣

Does he? From what I've seen of him, great on the counter and when running at defenders. 

I feel like Jackson is the better back to goal player now with hold up.

Chukwuemeka or Casadei costed approximately the same amount two years ago, they also had very little senior experience, Casadei maybe none. It's not so outstanding.
