Bill 1,788 Posted July 8, 2017 ............in a BOGOF dealWith the club only a few quid from bankruptcy, this has been forced onto them - along with the sale of the Oliveoil chap to Reading.Such is the dire straits of the club that Delia Smith has been rumoured to have tried to cadge a loan from Ipswich Town. The club has been able to borrow a blanket from Oxfam for a collection at next week''s fans forum, and are at the moment struggling to raise enough to buy the team''s kit from their own club shop.Ed Balls admits the club lacks ambition, and that Stuart Webber will most likely move on before the season as will a number of well rated players.Speaking this afternoon Mr Balls admitted that he hadn''t known how bad the club''s plight was until he read the pinkun forum. He also admitted the fault was entirely as he had instead (up till today) relied upon the club''s accounts rather than knowledgeable pinkun posters.Without them we could happily have continued, imagining that another £32m in parachute payments should mean we were ok - so our grateful thanks to baldyboy, highland canary, pete, daly, canary top t wat and many others Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tommo 51 Posted July 9, 2017 Newcastle trying to wrap up deal http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-boss-rafa-benitez-keen-10766528£8.5m seems low for such a promising young England u21 player unless they are throwing players in exchange ?

Lynn Canary 0 Posted July 9, 2017 Im confident there is no chance at all that the club would sell for that much. Cant see them accepting anything less than 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Highland Canary 76 Posted July 9, 2017 8.5m for Murphy, if that isn''t a fire sale I don''t what is. What next Olivera to be sold, or Jerome, or perhaps both? At least we''ve still got a captain, one player who has not been linked away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hairy Canary 701 Posted July 10, 2017 That''s three of us. I think in the longer term Josh will end up being the better of the two. Fantastic to have both though and can''t see £8.5 million is anywhere near enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgncfc 1,227 Posted July 10, 2017 We turned away a potential deal from Liverpool in January which could have risen to £15m and included a loan back, so I doubt very much that he would be going to Newcastle for £8m.It''s just paper talk again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkngood 1,087 Posted July 10, 2017 i heard Newcastle will want him and Rafa will not stop on this one !i heard it is very strong interest and will be less that 10 million but over 10 million with add-ons but of course this maybe Newcastle after someone at another club saying well if you don''t drop your asking price we will buy Murphy its hard to say with clubs playing games with dealing with transfers one minute they are on then another player is Available then it is off i think he will be off within the month as he has had a busy summer with international under 21''si would stick 20 million on him purely for his potential not his true worth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Essjayess 307 Posted July 11, 2017 Seems Luke Edwards of the Telegraph thinks he knows some things..."Its understood Murphy is keen to on a move to Newcastle", "Rafa is demanding his boss increases the offer for Murphy...2nd bid would encourage Murphy to push to leave Carrow Road"...ok Luke we here you.Maybe this has legs still, gonna be a long haul to end of August for our young proteges. But Rafa, improve the offer substantially, make it silly money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
