⚽ 🔃 The Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

1 Like

It is said that Benfica are unwilling to entertain Newcastle’s advances for Ramos until after the Champions League play-offs, which are set to be wrapped up next week. The Portuguese giants will face Dynamo Kyiv away from home in their first-leg encounter on Wednesday before the return fixture is played on August 23, after which point Ramos could be on the move if Newcastle wait until then to step up their pursuit of his signature.

The Magpies have also learned that Benfica are looking for a transfer fee of around £34million in order to let go of Ramos before the summer window slams shut. They have already turned down an offer in the region of £26m from Nottingham Forest and will only sell their star forward, who remains tied down until the summer of 2026, if the price is right.

Benfica looking for £34m having already turned down £26m from Forest seems to suggest this won’t be a runner for us.

Sounds like Agent talk.

I’ve heard we are gonna get Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on loan from Barca.

Honest.

Bloke in a taxi told me in the car park at Auschwitz today.

If that’s what your truthometer is based upon you’ll be pleased to hear Sheldon’s original tweet has a lot more likes and retweets.

Either way I highly doubt we’ve got much chance against the Portugal national team of Wolverhampton or the Saudi trillions.

The only thing certain about Aubameyang is that Barca want shot of him pronto

Maybe they have realised what Arteta had to put up with

I still think it’s too early in the window to make the striker signing! It’ll be deadline day or near enough.

Ralph even referenced Man Utd searching for a striker in the fans forum. I interpreted that comment to mean that whilst big money is still in the market, we’ll need to be patient and wait our turn at the watering hole. A week on from that comment, Utd are still fucking about all over the place, bouncing from target to target. So that situation hasn’t really resolved anything. Bearing in mind Utd have also been linked to players who we reportedly hold interest in, like Dembele and Kalajdžić.

This could may well be a smokescreen that we’ve released knowing that we’ve already been priced out of a move. Who knows? :man_shrugging:t2:

Anyone recall that utter melt on Twitter about a year ago who ranted on and on that we had to sign Dele Alli?

Well…

Bound for Besiktas Dele Alli has seen his career spectacularly decline

Another factor is the Champions League qualifying round which completes next week. Some targets are involved and may choose to stay with their club if they get through.

Stop being so logical W!

Is that Sam McQueen in the photo with the nipper ? Good on him if he’s found a role at the Club. Nice to see we’re looking after our own.
