Happy Easter! @sonic_hedgehog

@eazy_vvs @LiamPaulCanning Newcastle paid £35m for him from Chelsea. Even INEOS wouldn't be tight enough to offer £40m

[JC @Mongoose_85]

@6sMossier @TheBionicDam Newcastle paid £35m for him, he's now arguably the best left back in the league and they sold Anthony Gordon for £70m who is a) older and b) not as good as Hall 🤷 So I can't imagine £70m would even do it

@TomCantonMedia If investors bought an independent coffee shop & decided to take on Starbucks/Costa, they wouldn't be restricted from doing so to protect the "history" of those 2 businesses. They wouldn't be restricted on how many shops they could open based on the revenue of the original shop.

@YEasy3682 @AVFCSingapore @themagic_tophat No not property, but they are under legally binding contracts that they have willingly signed themselves. If you want to buy something from an unwilling seller then you need to pay above Market Value. This is surely common sense.

[JC @Mongoose_85]

@fukxumean £70m would be fair price if NUFC were actively trying to sell him. If they want to keep him then you'd have to pay above market value.

In any situation in life, if you want to buy something from a unwilling seller, you need to pay more than the thing is objectively worth 🤷‍♂️

[JC @Mongoose_85]

@NUFC7890 @SamiMokbel_BBC There's an odd assumption that NUFC need to be reasonable & accept a "fair" offer. But that logic only works if NUFC are actively trying to sell. A shop pricing Yorkies at £5 is unreasonable because they're in the business of selling Yorkies so me saying "here's £1" would be fair

[JC @Mongoose_85]

@ChidleyJordan @LukeEdwardsTele That's what he's trying to say. Tuchel was supposed to manage these situations better but his decisions after Gordon scored were very Southgate-esque

[JC @Mongoose_85]

@ConnorRC10 If one crap season (that still included Champions League Knock Out) is all it takes to completely destroy the project then there are much bigger underlying issues than Eddie Howe. The club should be able to absorb one bad season without imploding regardless of who the manager is.

[JC @Mongoose_85]

@ilfenomeno25 If Eddie Howe has to publicly defend a poor transfer window because of PSR/SCR then it's the club who has failed, not him, regardless of whether you think he should still be in a job or not.

[JC @Mongoose_85]

@caseysean51 Until this settlement, the rules were still up in the air so it wouldn't have made sense to agree any long term sponsorships without clarity. The current rules were more or less rolled back to the pre-takeover rules earlier this year so this seems like good news to me 🤷‍♂️

[JC @Mongoose_85]

@HLTCO @AtReggie Telling the club he wanted to leave is not really relevant if the club didn't agree to that request.
Newcastle would be under no obligation or pressure to react to that, given he still had 3 years of a contract to run. Any exit would be on NUFC terms, not Isak's.

[JC @Mongoose_85]

@AliceTalksFooty I think the problem is that Garnacho has been frozen out. He's not wanted & there's no indication that he'd be re-integrated. You're trying to sell someone that everyone knows you're desperate to get rid of. Inevitably this impacts the price interested clubs are willing to pay.

@Lyric091305 @itstaytaylors If someone asked me the date today, I'd probably just say "the 14th". I wouldn't even bother mentioning the month or year because I'd assume the person asking already knew this.

@its_The_Dr Goldust making a comeback

[JC @Mongoose_85]

@MagpieMediaX The 22/23 team had a very slow start that season. It took us 8 games to hit 11 points that year & we're already on 10 after 4 games this season. We usually start slow and then pick up form - the difference this year is that we're actually picking up points during this period.

[JC @Mongoose_85]

@Edit_Kev Wilson doesn't seem happy being 2nd choice, nevermind 3rd choice. If we signed another striker I'd imagine he'd be pushing for a move himself.

[JC @Mongoose_85]

@FPLFalse9 @FabrizioRomano Surely now we have all the leverage, since it doesn't matter how much a club offers for him now that clause has expired. We're no longer obligated to accept any bid and don't want to sell anyway, so why would we even need leverage?

[JC @Mongoose_85]

@FabrizioRomano Lots of people missing the point of the release clause. It was set high to deter bidders - NUFC don't want to sell & now have no obligation to do so. People suggesting £50m as if NUFC will be lucky to get that much, it's irrelevant, they don't want the money, they want the player
