Money unfortunately.  They can blow us out of water on wages and signing on fees (im no expert on their ffp position so i could be totally wrong)

Based on what?

Ive answered that in the post

They are up against it more than us on PSR.

No you haven't. Why do you think Newcastle, with their history of paying lower salaries than us and having greater PSR problems than us would "blow us out of the water"?

To Demitri’s defence he did say “he knows nothing”😂

[sid1964]

If he chooses to go their then so be it, it seems to me recently that we get to know our transfer targets well in advance of them potentially signing for us.

I seem to remember that a few years ago, we would just sign players without everyone and his dog knowing.

I wouldnt have thought Newcastle were in need of a wide forward ??

Although a second-choice centre-forward who is also comfortable out wide does sound like something that wouldn't hurt them.

You must have missed the part where i said i "am no expert on their ffp position" whoch to brwak down means i do not now for sure thats just my opinion.

None of us now what their ffp position compared to ours. Its just what we read in the press.

Unless any accountants out there that can compare our figures to theirs?

Have you ever thought about checking up or reading on a subject before offering your opinions?

Never catch on.

Shouldnt all posters do this? I mean with all due respect do you ?

I mean saying i think newcastle  would be a more attractive option because they are performing better than us this year and have more money than you dont need to check that. That's facts. They are more in form, higher than us in the league, (better team in my opinion) and in a cup final probably. All we have is CL this year which we dont know if we will be part of next season yet.

People have opinions on all kinds of things without providing data so not sure why i have to be any different  unless ive made a factual  point that needs data. E.g i make a statement unemployment  has gone up last year compared to 2023. Thats where  you would provide data to support your argument.

Not to just feel that newcastle is a more attractive option for him than us based on my own opinion.  Not trying to argue just stating my side of the point

Not much good have more money if you cannot spend it.

[Drummond]

You make posts that state things as fact, and taking the worst case scenario, then adding your own spin. And then your posts get challenged and you don't like it.

Though to be fair, you did, after stating something as fact, then say you know nothing. I guess most of the time, it's everyone else pointing out to you that your posts aren't facts, and that you're wrong. Tough place though. you state a fact, then that you know nothing, and everyone still piles on! We're a tough crowd when the Villa aren't winning every week.

We experienced this temporary anxiety when we were negotiating a fee for Diaby. Relax.

Spurs considering a bid.

If they do I imagine the lure of London could mean he goes there.

Do you think so? They’re in the bottom half of the table, can’t offer European football and are likely to be sacking their manager in the not too distant future.
