Summer transfer window

[Swizzlestick]

They’ve been about for years just can’t imagine Nick pope posting something like that.Ive no doubt Trafford will end up at Newcastle just don’t believe everything you see on social media shagger.

The Nick Pope comment was legit.

[NewClaret]

I certain Trafford won’t be with us by the close of the window, and it wouldn’t shock me if something is all agreed behind the scenes ready to go on July 1st, but we saw all this Instagram innuendo last year and it came to nothing.

[ecc]

Don't want to depress people but an example of what people will pay for young strikers:

Croatian media reporting Sporting have had an offer of €20m for Franjo Ivanović, 21 year-old, turned down by Union Saint-Gilloise, last season's Belgian champions. Besiktas are supposed to be interested too. Interestingly, Tony Bloom is a minority shareholder in Union Saint-Gilloise. Wouldn't be surprising to see Brighton get involved.

[Jakubs Tash]

Harrison Reed was mentioned previously knows SP from his Fulham days.A suitable replacement for Josh Brownhill

Do you really think that Harrison Reed is a like-for-like replacement for Josh Brownhill?

[Robbie_painter]

The Nick Pope comment was legit.

How do you know?

[Commy]

Newcastle said they would walk away from the three they have put offers in for if they couldn't get them quickly, because they hung on last year and ended up with nobody. We need to keep dragging it on then they will go to the next on the list .

[Swizzlestick]

How do you know?

Well it was from his official account, so I think that’s pretty concrete. His account could have been hacked I guess, but it’s a stretch.

Ok shagger

[Robbie_painter]

Just seems a ridiculous thing for Nick pope to say.

[Darnhill Claret]

Why ridiculous? Carlisle is known for having a lot of sheep, a bit like Wales.

[CyrilEbokiPoh]

That's what's killed us ... We're not dead.

I mean financially.

£30m for the three of them is rubbish. But £30m In Isolation for Trafford is fine.

We are a good £20m short of what we could have got if they were in contract.

But in the clubs defence we were never going to offer them the same last year as what they can command this. So is what it is.

As I said. Still not worried

Problem is. This time next year he then has 12 months of his deal left. And if we have gone down (highly possible) we get less and we still need to replace him.

One from my list

I like the look of him, someone is going to get a player with huge potential there.

[Andingle]

Hasn't his future replacement already been signed?
And if we stay up (not impossible) , Trafford has a good season and maybe an England start , I'd think we'd get more.

Don't want to depress people but

Too late, I've already started reading the messageboard this morning.

[Fretters]

I've just realised (without being surprised) that nothing ever came of Alastair Campbell's son tweeting that Tella is a done deal.

What does he get out of doing that? Surely it just reflects badly on his dad? (And I'm aware of his dad's association with things that aren't quite true, before anyone jumps on that).

I’m sure not people really believed it but I’ll judge him when the window closes. We’re still in June.

Agreed-says a lot about the lad if there is no substance in the story

It does really put the warmongering in perspective.

He’ll hardly be a ‘lad’. Campbell’s children must be in their 30s now.

Maybe he just had some duff info? I don’t think he’s ever positioned himself as some kind of Romano-esque ITK character. He mainly tweets about Marseille from what I can see anyway.

[CyrilEbokiPoh]

But which outcome is more likely.

The club have probably already agreed with him last summer too that if the offer comes this year we let him go.

He came down. Stayed with us (when many weren’t sure about him anyway). Had a record breaking season.

We can’t stand in his way. He deserves the chance of a big move in a World Cup year and probably trebling his wages.

We’ve gained a reputation for doing this with players. Pipe. Trippier. Keane. Among others. It would be wrong for us to stop now.

Fair enough , but that shouldn’t mean Newcastle get him on the cheap

[Chester Perry]

Maybe but the Trafford family farm is just outside Cockermouth

[Spijed]

Does that mean we should be prepared to accept a lower fee just to keep him happy?

[Commy]

Lazio owner speaking about the clubs finances and offers/sales of players.

'I sold Tchaouna for €15m. But I don’t want to dismantle the team.'

Loum Tchaouna Sold to Burnley
Lotito also listed the offers he rejected for some of his key players, while confirming the sale of Loum Tchaouna for €15 million. Although the Lazio owner didn’t mention the Frenchman’s next club, all major sources in Italian football had already identified Burnley as his next destination.

Strange of Nick Pope to be celebrating someone coming in to take his place.

Oh well.

Well yes.....his contract runs out tomorrow.
Tick tock will be staying or will he go.....tick tock..

Calvin Lewin just said he's a free agent tomorrow after leaving Everton...

He'll get a new bumper contract somewhere

Feels ideal for West Ham with their hit rate of signing strikers who disappear.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Looks nailed on for United or Arsenal

[Ric_C]

Maybe Nick Pope is coming to Burnley to join Trafford?

[Darnhill Claret]

Quote from father of James.
'He helps us get the sheep into the field. It's one of his favourite jobs'.

[alwaysaclaret]

Maybe Nick Pope is coming to Burnley to join Trafford?

Perhaps we should set the cat amongst the pigeons and offer them £1m for him.

[123EasyasBFC]

Maybe he just had some duff info? I don’t think he’s ever positioned himself as some kind of Romano-esque ITK character. He mainly tweets about Marseille from what I can see anyway.

Probs the same duff information claret Tony and big Gaz received when they came on here and said both brownhill and Egan-Riley had signed new deals

[It Is What It Is]

Newcastle's £25 million valuation of Trafford is way not enough.
Onana went to Manure for £47m and he's crap.

[Woodleyclaret]

Spot on the price is £40m and not a penny less
.Also City want a percentage of any sale so this needs factoring in the negotiations

[blatherwickstattoos]

Lad from lazio done deal according to lazios chairman. 15 million euros

[Bacchus]

.Also City want a percentage of any sale so this needs factoring in the negotiations

Why? That was part of the negotiation when we bought him and would have been reflected in the price we paid up front. We can't just assume that we'll be able to increase the potential sale price to offset the portion that needs to be paid on to City.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Lad from lazio done deal according to lazios chairman. 15 million euros

Fantastic business again

[blatherwickstattoos]

Fantastic business again

I agree. Only need one or 2 good seasons or glimpses of form and we could get 30-40-50 million for him. The way we are going about the windows are really exciting these days.

[It Is What It Is]

Well we really did have Newcastle's pants down.....Chris Woods for £25m !!!
They're obviously trying to claw that back a bit with cheap offer for JT

[PremierLeagueClass]

Fantastic business again

What do you know about him?

[Newcastleclaret93]

What do you know about him?

Can’t say I know much more than the next person, but he looks quick, strong, athletic and also has technical ability on the ball.

Exactly the type of player we should be going for and for that type of fee it seems a no brainer.

Quite impressive for the U21s recently.

Fingers crossed it’s works out

[LaLigaClaret]

Newcastle have plenty of cash to splash out on bids for other players so they should be serious about making a bid that reflects Traffords true market valuation. Figures below £40m are an insult and ranks of taking liberties we should tell them pay the valuation or do one. Trafford is being touted as likely Englands number one GK for many years to come. He smashed all sorts of records last season, saved two penalties in the same game and has reviously won the under 21 Euros whilst not conceding a goal. His age gives him a lot of potential to be at the top of his profession for ages. Given his age and potential we should also ask for a 25 % sell on clause not on any profit made but on the whole transfer. Newcastle should be told thats the price pay it or go away and all negotiation ended.
