Newcastle agree up to £34m deal for Aladji Bamba from Monaco
#NUFC should increase the asking price for Bruno by £5m every time the media report Arsenal are going to bid for him
If the bid doesn't start with a 9 (& Bruno doesn't kick off), he'll be going nowhere. #NUFC
Serious point though - at what point does this briefing behaviour and agreeing terms with the other club breach tapping up rules? There’s sure a point where we can point to last summer and this and create a legal case to stop this kind of thing happening. It’s disgusting really. Pay the fee or don’t
My view is that £70m is the low bid. They'll raise to £80m then meet us at £85m.
Resigned to him going. It’s awful but it’s football. What would make me feel a tad better is a Hail Mary bid from Spain or Saudi. Him going to another epl club feels a bit like the wife left you for the fella down the road. I’d rather his infidelity wasn’t flaunted in my face. He’s been great ☹️
His agent said he won't kick off, the journos have said he won't kick off. Even Fabrizio has said he won't kick off. He's not gonna kick off Although I understand why some of our fanbase feel it's likely considering Isak. It just comes down to whether arsenal reach a price we'd accept
be very disappointing if he does kick off, ruin a good legacy. Would like him to be professional about it. If it ends up that way he should get the stick Isak will get.
If he wants to kick off, fuck him & get him gone. If he doesn’t, then keep him, give him a pay rise & flog him to Madrid next summer
This should unlock the door to one more midfielder. Club v much activating the one in one out policy. Willock for 8m frees up a 40m player on the books #nufc
Part of me will be sad to see him go, I feel he showed some flashes of his old self at the end of last season, but overall inconsistency and injuries means it’s good business to move on. Still feel he could do better than the Turkish league tho #nufc
I would take that sorry with a pinch of salt! we are demanding 10 to 15 and they want to pay 6 to 10, does that mean sold at 10 then?
I think Steur was the Willock replacement and Bamba is the Tonali replacement. As we’ve got 6 midfielders I don’t think we’ll sign another one….. unless Bruno goes
🚨⚪️⚫️ Aladji Bamba to Newcastle, here we go! Deal done with AS Monaco for €41m package, medical authorized. Bamba travelled to England to complete his move, as @FabriceHawkins reports. Green light from Monaco. Personal terms also agreed with #NUFC.
Just three days after the death of Kevin Keegan?
Holy shit plane spotting works ! 😅😅 #nufc
After a bit of dunking on Newcastle’s transfer record, I do think this is a good signing for you guys. Although so soon after Keegan’s passing? Shameful bsky.app/profile/fabr...
Emmanuel Rivière crawled so that Aladji Bamba could run #nufc
Love surprise announcement from nowhere. #NUFC
Nobhead has called it. #nufc #whorewego
That's some fee for a guy with less than one thousand senior minutes in total. #nufc
Surprised Miley or Ramsey didn't fancy a change. 6, 8, 20 being saved for incomings 🤷 Happy Tino has gone for 2 tho #nufc
Can't see Miley changing his number now after his tattoo
Happy to see Shaher there
You see some youth players hanging onto their U-21 numbers. I mean, he played in the CL against PSG with 67 on his back. Why change it? Ramsey a little more surprising.
Can’t take another year of Nick Pope scooping the ball into row 5 of the east stand every time he clears it
Ramsey was 41 at Villa, might mean something to him
Prized number for the younguns maybe
