Uwe Hünemeier signs for Albion on a three-year deal

[Biscuit]

Take it from a half-kraut: Ooo-vuh Who-nuh-my-err.

Correct! As a quarter-kraut and therefore half as qualified as you - I always thought a good rule of thumb: when there's an 'ei' you pronounce the 'i' and when there's an 'ie' you pronounce the 'e'.

Therefore: Who-nuh-my-er - is correct. #prayforAspinall

[Phat Baz 68]

This won't be our record signing as they've suggested as CMS was £3.25 million was he not ?

Original outlay was £2.5m,I believe. *shudder*

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Has anyone, including [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] confirmed this, as everyone seems to be taking as if it is a done deal?

 

[Justice]

Original outlay was £2.5m,I believe. *shudder*

He would be £5m now in todays money, now thats a shudder.

 

[OGH's Libido]

He would be £5m now in todays money, now thats a shudder.

Nope, it would be £2,862,677.50

There is a simple formula here:

If the club is still serious about challenging for play offs in the near future then Dunk stays. If the club is happy with survival in the champ at best then Dunk goes. Simples. You cannot go into the season with only two recognised central defenders. We were short last year with 3!

So you're saying that Dunk shouldm't be sold for any amount? Do you not think we might be able to get a replacement for nine hundred million, billion, trillion pounds?

Dunk is valued at £4-5m and will be worth the same or much more in the January or summer window. It's money in the bank and nothing would be gained by selling him now. Newcastle probably need a better CB and Dunk would be used as a back up on the bench. He'd be on good money, but playing here for another season would increase his stock value and wage demands later.

I suppose the simple song would be:

Uwe, Uwe, Uwe, Uwe,
Hume..meier...

Where did you see that it would be around midday?

His imagination.

Looking at their fans forum, albeit via google translate, entertainment in itself, their fans seem fairly pissed off, particularly after some statement from him when made captain. Also, they are talking about him getting 3 x his salary in the England... despite it being an unknown team playing in the 2nd div, in the English provinces etc etc.. and money taking over the game.

haven't ploughed through all 24 pages, but why do we like signing players from relegated teams ......Baldock, COG, Paddy spring to mind ??

Taking into consideration you don't move country for less money, I think we can safely say they are factually correct on all 4 counts.
