[Football] Joelinton to Newcastle.

40 million for a 22 year old striker who’s never scored more than 8 in a season. Big fee.

Joelinton scored 11 goals in 35 games for Hoffenheim last season, with seven of those coming in the Bundesliga.

Any chance we can sign a new first team striker!!!?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

So much for the owner not willing to splash cash and go for it.

Funny old world.

Makes Locadia seem a bargain!

Eredivisie v Bundesliga.

One is a competitive league.

I'd make a bold prediction and suggest that guy will have a greater impact for them than our boy did for us... but then again, that wouldn't be particularly difficult would it? Like, tying one of his teammates laces up would probably pull him ahead immediately.

Repeating what I saw on sky sports news. They said he was at rapid Vienna last season.

Nope not vaguely envious, we can make do with what we have, maybe a last minute expensive bargain basement striker can be convinced to come here at the death.

But fits the Newcastle model of getting in a player under 26 who will have a resale value. The reason Rafa went was that Ashley wasn't prepared to splash £40m on older players regardless of what they would bring to the team.

Also does this mean that Longstaff will be joining Utd for a similar or higher fee to balance the books?

Big Jurgs will be a different kettle of herring this season....

Is that you Mr Barber?

Gutted that you could even consider that. I have no mustard sweaters either

If that's the sort of fee we need to pay for a PL striker for some random that most of us would need to Google, could probably get Ashley Barnes for that amount, with a guaranteed crop of goals.

Have you thought about doing standup? Sell for 750k and buy back for 40 million?

I would bloody love it if Ashley came back but that ship has sailed over the horizon and the chances of Albion paying half of that for any striker is incredibly slim

Don't matter what the dumb selling fee was. That's maybe the going rate for a PL striker now. West Ham just bought one for £45M. We'll be seeing him soon enough.

Joe Linton? Joel Inton? Never heard of him, meh.

No wonder PB was complaining of crazy fees and a crazy market. Paying silly money like that will surely have a knock on effect for other PL clubs?
