Quansah would have been big as well thinking about it.
Around £30-£35m (not sure how all the add ons work for PSR etc) for a youth graduate. Frees up a load of space to remain compliant.

That could be a good pivot for them, considering what Liverpool are asking for Diaz.
Let’s hope they somehow miss out on CL next season and see how their finances fair then.
Of course they do, everyone is saying they can spend as much as they have now because they didn't spend last season. That's not including another 150m plus feck off wages. Let's not forget all their signings are on big wages as well.
They've been well run for some time now, annoying
If his heart is set on Liverpool then he'll go to Liverpool. They'll snap him up given they'll get decent fees for Diaz, Nunez and Elliot so his timing doesn't matter. The timing might just be the fact Liverpool enquired about him before Ekitike, and that turned his head.
Why can’t we just offer them 150m and pay over 6 years?
Real Madrid did that to us when they signed Ronaldo, then Kaka and then also Benzema who we were trying to buy.
Pay them in megastore vouchers.
Diaz is linked with Bayern and Elliott is linked with a few PL clubs. They've already sold Quansah for like 30m, Kelleher for 15m and got another 10m for TAA. If Diaz and Elliott leave, they can easily spend that much. Otherwise they might have to stretch their budget a little bit, but would still be fine.
Newcastle desperately need players in this window. Surely need the bulk of the Isak money up front so they can replace him.
Because we'll be in League Two by then.
Usually I'm only lurking, but I have to say something now ... Oh my word, please make it stop!
Pretty much this, he's Liverpool bound, or maybe a club like Real Madrid at a push
Who's selling away their future for Isak?
3 weeks ago, hell 2 weeks ago, Liverpool move for him instead of Ekitike. Now they need to sell Diaz first - which if they want Isak actually plays into Bayern's hand, giving them leverage to low ball them, for example. And it's likely even just that one sale might not be enough
Chelsea, same thing. Arsenal? They don't waste their time on Gyokeres. Evem United, if Isak gave indication he'd be interested, put Cunha and Mbeumo on the freeze to try and sign him first
Ah well. Maybe Flo can play a blinder here, sell Mbappé to the Saudis and bring him in?
My understanding was that the selling club can put the whole fee down on this year's profits and the buying club can spread the fee over the duration of the contract.
A Newcastle supporting mate reckons the Saudis have already lost interest in the club.
Isak for Jackson. Makes sense for all parties.
Sickening. To be fair though, haven’t United always done this at the height of our success? That treble winning side could have been improved defensively and in goal with better recruitment, and the transfer window after Ronaldo is another example as you point out.If he goes to Liverpool too, it'll be one of the all-time greatest transfer windows for a club. After going level on titles they sense blood and going all out in investment in the squad to get more.
Compare that to the window after United went level with Liverpool
fecking Glazers.
off the back of a season which has seen them win a trophy and CL participation?
This is really bad news
Seen a video recently explaining that say for example you sell a player for £100m over 5 years, you then loan £100m from another company and pay it back as and when the buying club pays each installment, albeit with interest added.
I still think unless it's Saudi a deal will be very hard for any club. Newcastle will want a massive chunk paid upfront of what could be 130-150m
They have probably realised even with all that they are fecked in the transfer market
Or the transfer window after SAF stepped down. Huge opportunity to strengthen the squad while at the top and all we did was sign Fellaini on deadline day.
They would have half their starting XI on about 250k-350k, it would genuinely be absurd. Just because you can, doesn't mean it's financially prudent to do so. I mean fair play if they go for it, but having to sell inorder to do it isn't a good start, that's also no guarentee Newcastle set a fee reasonable to achieve.
Lot of them cite PSR has made them toothless, so it's a bit pointless for them as a play thing.
I think he meant in relation to PSR, they've realised they can't just buy success immediately.
It really brings home how utterly disastrous the failure to buy like mad for the future when we were on top under Fergie was. Moyes inherited a dying team, and by the time we got Ole a succession of failed transfer windows and terrible seasons ensured we were now a second tier transfer destination. We've dropped even further since.
I'm just pointing out that they have no PSR concerns. If they want to do the deal they can. Whether it's financially prudent or if it's the right move to make just after signing Ekitike is for them to consider.
Praying he goes there over the unthinkable
Any chance to loan Ekitike from Liverpool?
Since the Ronaldo move, I've suspected they might be more interested in building up their own league and possibly lobbying for CL inclusion at some point for their own clubs, and that Newcastle might take a back seat.
Penny for the thoughts of all the Geordies who were dancing around with tea towels on their heads in 2021 if that comes to pass.
I can see Chelsea go for him. Probably sell Delap, Jackson and their Under 12s team to fund it.
Cheers Alexander, Alan Shearer is crying now
Any chance to loan Ekitike from Liverpool?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that there was a deal in place for Ronaldo to move to Madrid for a long time. He wanted to go the previous summer, United held off the interest, but there must have been an agreement that he could go the following summer for an appropriate bid. United were never going to say "Well, we can't get Benzema so he can't leave" or similar.
In this situation, Newcastle clearly don't want to sell and Liverpool are in the position of trying to convince them. Gazumping them for Ekitike can't have helped.
I'd love Isak here but It wont happen. Newcastle will want a fortune for him, especially from a PL club.
That said, it would be worth reaching out to his reps to see if he'd be interested. He's already skipping out on preseason, so he's obviously up for forcing a move. There's a decent chance he could play hardball and help force something through. Maybe we can pull off a Garnacho + cash move. Yes...this is all wishful thinking.

After winning the title too. Must be nice.
Yeah I would literally accept anywhere else in the world, believe me this is infinitely worse than City as they are doing it the right way (throws up in mouth)
