The January New Manager Warchest Transfer Thread

[eamonn]

Newcastle have triggered Chris Woods release clause at Burnley. Those who have been touting Ings to Newcastle, I
guess you'd make do with Danny returning to his original claret and blues?

Fucking hell, all the money in the world and you sign Chris fucking Woods up front.

I get the sentiment, but he will score goals and they are desperate.

A £25 million release clause triggered?  Smart move really as he's a decent player and this ruins Burnley.  They may have a few quid to spend now but who would want to go to Burnley at this point? Are they readying themselves for relegation?

Not the stellar signing but he knows the league, will score a few goals and weaken one of your main relegation rivals. If he contributes in keeping them up it’s job done and he’ll be shifted out for a bigger name. Must be a fairly big fee for Burnley to agree to
let him go.

Newcastle need a big hard number 9 to play off. It's a brilliant move from them.

Isn't it a release clause that's been met, so they don't have much say?

Think it's a reasonable signing for Newcastle. Must be a bit of a hard sell to get anyone to go there right now (guess £££ helps). He'll score a few goals, and crucially also cripple one of their main rivals.

Burney will struggle though. £25m doesn't get you a top quality striker, particularly in January.

I think I get the joke.

Rumours on twitter that Carney is off, deleted all his villa related social media etc.

Didn’t realise it was a release clause, first I heard of it was in Paul_e’s post but it makes sense. Like you say Burnley have no choice then and it’ll be even more of a struggle for them now you would think.

Yeah I saw that, its a shame as he seemed to be made out as the chosen one.  But it seems like we not going to be able to keep him happy, so probably better just to cash in before he is on a free. 

Think he says more about him, then us TBH

[ozzjim]

Agreed, I think he's looking at the Young players getting games in Germany with big eyes probably. With 18 months on his contract I'd expect a decent fee and a large sell on clause though.

Thank fuck for that, maybe 'up front' was too subtle and I should've said something about him being a long retired goalkeeper.

Chukwuemeka is still on Instagram too. Twitter bullshit.
