Tino Livramento

[BluestBlue]

This stinks of the classic trying to sign him for 4 months and then we get to the end of the window and walk away from the deal due to spiralling costs with City confirming they are happy with their current options.

Sounds like the Bruno G saga all over again

 

[King Jay]

Impossible also isn’t he injury prone ?

no, not at all.

 

[Maverick;]

Too expensive and he's probably not even available. Newcastle will probably keep everyone after getting into the CL.

 

[RayCTID]

Not the worst of suggestions but I am sceptical that Newcastle would sell him. Same to some extent with MGW

 

[mattcity5]

Transfers this summer are a juggling act based on which HG and which foreign players we can get. We backed ourselves into a corner a bit with January's signings all being foreign. If no foreign players can be persuaded to leave this summer then we'll probably have to look HG.

I dont know where the numbers currently sit, but I know it's not straightforward.

Would explain the move for MGW. Expensive route to go down though. Shoulda got Frimpong cheap, club trained.

 

[Goater101]

How long before we walk away and move into a different target cause they didn’t realise how much he’d be?. I’ll give it a week

 

[deano ou812]

Isn't he a sick note?

Hahaha he will be if we sign him ;-)

 

[Dax777]

"Conversation can start at 70 million" is ridiculous! He is a fullback. Anything over 45 million is approaching expensive.

"Conversation can start at 70 million" is ridiculous! He is a fullback. Anything over 45 million is approaching expensive.

That's what Newcastle nearly paid for him! He is a 70m player because, for his age, he is homegrown, and he is versatile; he can play left and right back. Plus, you get ten years out of him! He is perfect for us! We also paid 50m for Walker and got our moneys worth...

I know you'll still come back with "it's still to much" just because there are a lot of fans similar who want everyone for next to nought..

 

[Gorbachev]

Because we are losing Grealish and Walker and likely Stones and Ake next year, we are in desperate need for homegrown players and we are going to pay mad City tax because of it.

Completely agree I don't think Newcastle are at all likely to sell us MGW.

 

[Gumzy97]

This isn’t happening. Newcastle will demand a massive fee we won’t pay it. Same old story

 

[Damanino]

at least 2.5x more price than Frimpong. also not sure Barcodes wanna sell with Trippier like Walker, almost finished.

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

 

[Bluewonder]

He said Grealish was leaving and it would be announced within days, about 2 months ago.

He said later that there was an agreement with Newcastle but they couldn’t make it work financially

 

[LongsightM13]

Good player but he’s made of glass, really poor injury record. Ridiculous price even if he was an ever present
Grealish’s book value to us is still about £40m?

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Can't see Newcastle selling for less than £70m, and even that feels low when you look at the £50m we paid for Walker, and adjust for inflation.
