Marseille interested in CJER

[Papabendi]

Seems like we are holding out for a number ‘well in excess of £30m’ for Trafford:

and so we should, otherwise we may well end up looking like fools further down the line.

[ClaretPete001]

I don't think you can compare a season in the Championship playing for a team that only concedes 16 goals is the same as playing in the PL. He looked to have improved significantly but you just aren't under the same pressure in the Championship.

Course you would probably be under less pressure at a top PL club than a club like Burnley as a keeper. I think he recognised as top potential because of his age and his ability to progress as much as anything else.

[Guller Bull]

Mail says 40m - Deal not close.

[Papabendi]

Newcastle need an English quota for Champions League. That obviously does not impact the current #1, but plays a part for the squad.

[CyrilEbokiPoh]

Mail says 40m - Deal not close.

For £40m and us reinvesting that money in areas needed (Striker, centre mid, full back / renewing contracts of CJER, JB) and bringing in an established goalkeeper I would be very happy with this. (For all parties).

The reality is that at some point JT goes. This would be close to a very good deal for all three parties!

Any fee to Newcastle must include
A) The oil tax
B) the secondary oil tax namely a cut for City
C) The Chris Wood Tax incl relegation
D) The FA Cup 1974 Seni Final tax

Let's add another couple
E) Nick Pope bargain tax
F) Malcolm Mcdonald tax

[gandhisflipflop]

35m and I’d be seriously tempted at that point. If that 35m could get the below for example it would be great business. Before anyone jumps in, I’m not saying we have been linked with those players I’m just using it as a basic example.

Cooper/Ramsdale

As Nick Pope is their established keeper, Trafford must know he's likely to spend pretty much all of next season on the bench (aside from cup games, injuries etc.)

[FeedTheArf]

Let's add another couple
E) Nick Pope bargain tax
F) Malcolm Mcdonald tax

G) Callum Wilson being a d*ck tax

[alwaysaclaret]

Neither will be happy to sit on the bench, could turn out to be a very tricky game if Howe does manage to pull the Trafford deal off, which I doubt. Imagine the fan's response, having a £40m signing sat on the bench.

[Goliath]

There's been rumours about Howe wanting to replace Pope for years. I think it's bound to happen sooner rather than later.

[warksclaret]

The standard of GK's in the PL is at an all time high, with the majority of clubs having two or more absolutely talented keepers. The more this progresses, and with a high price ticket Trafford seems to have, the more I think it will be beneficial for Trafford to stay with us. Subject to injury, he is likely to play every league game, and the whole football world will see what a talent he is, then maybe in 12 months he can pick his club when his value might be even higher. At present its not a given he can walk into any PL team. It also saves us shelling out on a GK and we already know we have a great keeper who our defence are at ease with

[AfloatinClaret]

Do they still make creosote? It's foul stuff!!

Yes, but only for sale/use by commercial buyers such as farmers, otherwise it's 'creoCote' rather than creoSote.

Coufal from West Ham, linked with us and Sunderland.

Pope wasn't that great last season. If they spend that much on Trafford he isn't going to be a backup.

I see your point warks but I see it the other way. Trafford has always been seen as an investment by the club and I would expect them to accept an offer before the start of the season if it agrees with their valuation. I totally agree with you about the vast number of talented goalkeepers available and I would add that there is a good chance we could replace Trafford and not be at any greater disadvantage.
Now is the time to cash in for me even if it would be disappointing.

Dull signing but would probably be pretty useful. Not too dissimilar to Bardsley

Burnley have had an offer for Salford City’s teenage sensation Kyrell Malcolm rejected.

Don’t have an issue with him leaving if they meet the clubs valuation but I see a new Burnley here playing hardball on the deal they expect

[Hedontplayforyou]

Article says so

I have a good feeling about him being at the club

[EarbyClaret]

The other factor to consider with Trafford is that he is highly regarded by Tuchel - who it would appear sees him as a future number one especially given his age

Tuchel has said he prefers his players to be involved in European club football and there's a World Cup on the horizon

Much as it would be sad to see such a quality goalkeeper leave this looks like the best opportunity we are going to get to maximise our return on him - presuming that's what the club want to do

[Targetman]

Newcastle were quite happy when the boot was on the other foot and they took Pope off us for a "song"!

[Greekclaret]

CJER officially rejects contract for French move

[Newcastleclaret93]

CJER officially rejects contract for French move

Disappointed with that

[Woodleyclaret]

So CJER didn't fancy a shot at the Premier league still we have Humphries to step back in.

[mkmel]

Humphreys is predominantly a left sided defender.

So would think we would be looking for a right sided central defender to replace CJ.

Someone like Tanganga of Millwall

[Woodleyclaret]

Both of the Czech lads at WHU are bring released.Imo they're decent players and would strengthen our team.

Significantly.

And would be a good fit for our style.

[kendalianclaret]

I think CJER will be more disappointed in France next season if things don't work out, i certainly think he stepped up last season but i think he is not realising the others around him as in Esteve Roberts Humphries/Pires and Trafford also helped him look even better, time will tell but a brave move in my opinion

[Hedontplayforyou]

Is Soucek leaving West Ham? If he is I’d expect him to turn up at Everton . Coufal is said to be favouring a move to rejoin Moyes as well.

Maybe he doesn't fancy playing in the Premier League. Ligue 1 is about halfway between the Premier League and the Championship.

Will CJER move to Marseille have any impact on leveraging the Abline deal?

https://www.si.com/soccer/sunderland/su ... ert-claims

Why?
Abline plays for Nantes, if CJER moves to Marseille it'll be for thousands not millions so won't affect their business going forward

[matttheclaret]

I suspect it's not so much him not fancying playing in the PL, more that he does fancy playing in the Champions League for a huge club in front of 60,000+ every week.

You could well be right. I'd forgotten about that.

He can certainly take a corner, goodness me .most of his assists are dead balls.

The difference is though, probably at a guess an extra £10m in his bank over 3-5 years!

Would be an incredible move. As a player and person!

[Jakubs Tash]

Not new news, but £25m isn't enough for Trafford and CJ is staying

Probably time to change your ‘contact’.

[Papabendi]

what leverage would that be exactly?
