Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

I read that Wilson has been offered a 5 year deal at the Geordies? No wonder he has gone there.

Going by those Purslow comments, Newcastle are able to offer better terms too. More money, longer term contract. You can see what he's thinking. Probably his last big contract.

Yep, think ~£100k/wk for 5 years would be hard to turn down for him (assuming he's wanted roughly what he was getting paid at Bournemouth), and we're right not to pursue him on those terms.

And this is the problem with signing 'established' Premier League stars.

Exactly. It's the equivalent of signing Steve Stone and Dave Watson under Gregory.

Apparently reduced to £50k/wk on relegation. Might have been happy just to get a longer contract.

Well I've given up on us bringing any experience into the side with those salary quotes. Young hungry lower league players it is then.

[Villan82]

This is turning into a shambles.

Another false dawn?

Steve Watson.

I can't see why Norwich would contemplate selling Pukki.  He wouldn't command a particularly big fee, they have their parachute payment and he is their most likley ticket to a return to the PL.

Don't think there's any legs in this one.

If Pukki has an offer to stay in the Premier League he will take it.

Newcastle pay big fees and big wages for certain players but they still keep the purse strings tight by operating with a relatively small squad.

Can't say I'm massively disappointed about Wilson, as I do think his injury record is a concern, particularly if that kind of money is on the table.

Yes and let’s bloody well hope it’s not from us.

You might as well stick with Hogan as buy somebody like Pukki.

Agree. After reading the articles by the new head of recruitment anyone else suspect that Pukki might be identified as a player whose stats are about to decline?

[sickbeggar]

I like the fact Pukki started out as a blond adonis who wasn't much good, and only really progressed once he started to resemble a brick-layer. There should be more prematurely-aged footballers.

Sheffield United signing Ethan Ampadu on loan - not sure if he is any good.
