The stupid thing is that it would be completely sensible for Newcastle to try and loan a world class midfielder in January. You've lost your most expensive midfielder for 10 months. That's exactly the sort of situation where you bring in an expensive loan player, like the rags did all those years ago with Henrik Larsson. You can't spend tens of millions to replace someone who'll be back by next season.I don’t think we’ll take anyone on loan from the Saudi league in January. At the beginning of November Dan Ashworth was interviewed and was asked would we sign Neves in January Given all the rumours. He merely said there’s nothing in the rules that would prevent us.
The PL quickly called a meeting to try and prevent any loan deals happening. Ashworth played the PL in my opinion, I’m sure they are building a case to instigate legal action, should it be required, and attempts like this demonstrate that there’s and agenda to prevent Newcastle growing. They even tried to make the FMV rule more stringent and onerous to prevent us increasing our revenue streams. Ashworth is playing 5D chess with the old school teams whilst they’re playing Draughts. Fuck them, hopefully the balance of power is shifting.
Don't loans between related clubs have to meet fair valuation rules anyway?
