Grant Hanley

[quote user="Making Plans"][quote user="Icecream Snow"]If it''s high wages, it''s likely just to be a two year deal anyway.[/quote]He''s on £40k a week according to Pink ''unhttp://www.pinkun.com/norwich-city/norwich-city-agree-fee-for-newcastle-united-defender-grant-hanley-1-5168210[/quote]

There''s no way we''ll be paying 40K a week.

I can see this collapsing over personal terms. Would be an ideal signing for us at this junction.

Were not Newcastle interested in Josh (as well as Jacob) a couple of months ago???????????????

That''s not what I meant MP, I meant we appear to moving in the correct direction, and things getting better, and implying we couldn''t go any lower.

I''m sceptical too. There''s no way we''re offering more than 15-20k a week, and I can''t see anyone willing to take a 50% pay cut. Especially when he has so long still to run on his contract.

I suppose the attempt at a transfer puts Webber in a better position with the fans, for now at least.

If/when the transfer falls through due to excessive wage demands, It conveniently supports Webber''s decision of trying to find better value abroad.

[quote user="Ian"]I can see this collapsing over personal terms.

For Hanley the attraction is that he must believe he will be an almost certain starter for us.

Wouldn''t be surprised to see Newcastle chipping in a few thousand a week for the remainder of his contract to get the deal through. Sounds like he is nowhere near the team and they really want him off the wage bill.

I''m guessing if we can get him cheap enough as in transfer fee, as in Newcastle having to offload, as in 1.5/2 million... maybe we could afford 30k per week???

No way will we pay that much. 20k tops I''d say.

[Derby Canary 3]

Was n''t it a Grant H (or something) we signed last time we were in trouble?

@IanI can see this collapsing over personal terms. Would be an ideal signing for us at this junction.Deal is done, medical happening anytime now, just to rubber stamp.

[Lewis DW 11]

This is the guy Russell Martin keeps out of the Scotland Team? PANIC BUY!

[Icecream Snow 761]

So will Klose be sold to fund this? Predictions please.......

Newcastle are in the PL so will have to nominate their 25 man squad. If Hanley is not part of that squad then what can NUFC do ? Pay his wages to sit in the reserves ? Or maybe sell or loan him out for whatever they can get to cut down the cost. The best scenario would be to loan him out, save some money on wages and let both clubs see where they are next May.

[JF 694]

Hopefully to partner Klose rather than replace him

[Branston Pickle 3,658]

Decent player, just because he had a rough time at Newcastle doesn''t make him ''bad'' (it''s astonishing how many players haven''t lived up to expectation there) and he''d come here with a point to prove.

[Mike 2]

Definite panic buy... not that great a player.

This from The Mag (supporters website) after the recent cup tie with Forest.

Not many players enhanced their reputations but Hanley was easily the worst player on the pitch, looking more like he had been on a month’s all inclusive holiday than pre-season training, he put in a dismal display as he puffed and panted chasing shadows of a Forest team who had made six changes themselves.

Fingers crossed on this one and best of luck to Norwich…

We have gone for him as we are broke & can use the Jacob deal as a bargaining chip. I hope it works out... doubt it...

Really desperate stuff...

[CANARYKING 638]

Terms not yet agreed, can see this falling through and Webber says " we tried "

[Rogue Baboon 0]

Based on one cup game at Forest after not playing consistently for an entire season?

[Indy_Bones 441]

F**k me, will any of the miserablists be happy unless we sign the likes of Kompany, Ramos or Luiz???The last 2 weeks have been full of whines about ''lower level german imports'' and suchlike (as well as the usual Martin bashing), with demands for ''proven Championship defenders'', then when we''re linked with one with over 150 games at this level (as well as 23 in the Prem), that''s suddenly not good enough either.Will you lot of negative nancy''s, please make your f**king minds up, because at the minute it appears that almost anyone we sign is going to get slated before even kicking a ball (and definitely within a couple of games of them having done so), and it''s just pathetic behaviour tbh.

[Jack Flash 13]

Spot on Indy. Well said.

[norfolkngood 1,087]

Klose to WBA ?

once they sell Evans for a jaw dropping 25 mil plus i am sure they will enquiry about Klose

Tony pulis has been a fan of klose in the past

@norfolkngood

its not an outrageous suggestion, and if the Evans deal goes through we should be able to name our price for Klose, certainly 10million+

This could then be used to get in a LB & another CB/RB as cover

[GJP 79]

In this market £25m for Evans is a very good deal for the buyer.

[norfolkngood 1,087]

i imagine klose and hanley wages will be around the same ( once signed ) so we are basically swapping them and getting 10 mil for klose

so club would be 6 / 7 mil better off

[Guest]

Who''s going to buy sick-note Klose? Hardly improved his reputation last season did he? Or am I missing a deal here?
