Percy reporting that plans were in place before the Konsa injury to bring in a central defender, and that  James Tarkowski (Burnley, out of contract in the summer) gas been discussed.

I wonder if there are any more in the pipeline...

Don't think about it, you'd just be fuelling rumours.

It's not a signing that would raise the BP

Can someone explain to me why some believe Newcastle are the new threat to the top clubs?
I get the sovereign wealth stuff but why do some think that within the FFP (or successor rules) we can’t compete and are actually further ahead on this road?
I do not see Newcastle as the new Man City or Chelsea and effectively trumping our approach to compete.
John e above makes some valid points hence why signing Coutinho was a statement.

Apart from holding Barcelona to ransom there were some financial benefits to us doing the Coutinho deal early. My understanding is that the FFP rules are changing as of this summer; with an emphasis now on revenue (think clubs are only permitted to spend 70% of it from next season onwards or pay a super tax). I think prior to these rule changes Newcastle did have a significant advantage in that for years and years (until Bruce came in) Ashley spent relatively little net wise in order to make a sale for attractive as there was plenty of FFP wriggle room for spending. Now I don’t believe that will be as relevant a factor. Mind you, they could just do what Man Citeh did to get round it. After all, the EPL have already approved the Newcastle take over with the ‘interesting’ view that there is no direct link between the Saudi Royal family and the PFI. They’ll probably just wave them through again. UEFA are terrible at bringing cases against clubs for breaches of FFP also (see PSG, see Man Citeh).

I'd like to have paired Tarkowski with Konsa, but Tarkowski and Mings?

Diesel do.
