It was a £2m loan fee with the option of making it permanent for a further £6m. Not sure if the early recall changes the terms of the loan fee
Martin Dúbravka - Recalled by Newcastle
- Thread starter RonaldoVII
- Start date
We need an number 2 that will put the Heaton on DDG
It must do.
What's to stop teams getting the loan fee and recalling the player after a game or 2 ?
Hence the Morocco keeper rumours
Pretty sure the recall clause must've only become active in the January transfer window, hence why it's happened on 1st January
Sit on the bench at United, or Newcastle?
Such a pointless signing 
You’re telling me I watched all those YouTube compilations of him for no reason?! 
Could do with clarification we have got the loan fee returned, Newcastle are a smug club and their fans will be giving it , we have got 2 million off you for nothing. Smug is not a good colour for them
Definitely a club like ours shouldn’t be loaning in these types of playersSuch a pointless signing
Good. A disaster of a keeper.
Who’s that?
I mean, that’s literally what Newcastle have done
Working in football before, usually any fees are payable within 28 days but that’s with loans without any recall clause and also includes transfer fees without predetermined structures.
I can imagine if they had a recall clause in January, we’d have had half payment up front and half at the end of January, so can’t imagine we’d have paid the full amount.
£1m fee (plus wages) to have him play two games against Villa and Burnley in the League Cup.
Bono. What a beautiful day that will be.
A bit of a weird one from them. Not exactly like he was tearing it up for us. Did they think he might have been the difference for us beating them to top 4
I do feel a little for him though. This was clearly a dream move for him only for it to be cut short. Oh well, at least he got to play for us I suppose.

He's gash anyway.
Probably means Karius isn't extending his deal which is up this month..A bit of a weird one from them. Not exactly like he was tearing it up for us. Did they think he might have been the difference for us beating them to top 4

Thanks for playing
Integrity.
Thanks for the seasono
Was a weird loan signing to begin with. And equally weird that he's recalled, but whatever. Good luck to him.
I guess we’re Top 4 rivals and now any injury to De Gea means Heaton is in goal and there’s a significant gap between the two. So they’re probably playing the odds to make sure we have no coverA bit of a weird one from them. Not exactly like he was tearing it up for us.

That was my thought too. Could we not just recall Henderson though?
Was a weird signing to begin with. Heaton was more than adequate enough to be the number two and I think he’s the better keeper.
Think he only played against Burnley and fair to say, didn’t fill any of us with much confidence. Looked an absolute nervous wreck.

Shocking loss to the team! I mean he was that guy who did that...um thing in that one game.
Oh, noooo!
Anyway...
Anyway...
No loss and predictable given Newcastles current position.
Never understood why we signed him after bringing in Heaton and retiring Grant. The whole business of our keepers has been a bit of a shambles, with its origins in Henderson's demands to be a first-choice keeper. That led to the club releasing Romero completely unnecessarily, then eventually having to loan Henderson out again when De Gea's form recovered, which meant we needed cover for De Gea - in other words, we'd have been better keeping Romero in the first place.
Then to bring in Dúbravka when we'd signed Heaton was baffling.

Deal fodder for Maddison
Gonna go down to the trivia book. His name will be mentioned a lot in trivia quiz
Another Murtough masterclass. What a genius
Quite the reach.
Can’t imagine Henderson would want that. He’s almost burned his bridges with the club now
They do that
Please tell me why the person in charge of transfers is not responsible for a shit deal. Very much looking forward to it
Good, Heaton is far better anyway.
Adios Martin, we hardly knew ye.
