could be this but the greater goal is sports washing isn’t it? This idea kind of assumes what they have going on with Newcastle is greater than what they’re doing with their domestic league. Maybe this is how they see it, not sure myself?
See I'm more on the 200m fence, but would have to be upfront. That's transformative money, considering we overhauled our midfield for about 150
You can have both things going on, but remember we’re one of the biggest threats to NCFC continued CL qualification. You can weaken a rival club while also doing the sports laundry.
2017 - 2020 Salah would have been worth 300m. I think we should be biting their hands off for 150 (excluding add ons) if it comes in. More than that feels unlikely. But anyone saying wait a year - by that point we'll be down to 12 months left and a year old player. Also the sportswashing project might no longer be splashing the cash.
We need to sell in order to overhaul the defence. The suggestions around needing a replacement for Salah right now are a bit deluded IMO - that isn't the priority if he goes.

I’d certainly be trying to convince them of the merits of paying a bit more than Neymars £190m so they can have the world record transfer beating their Qatari mates
He’d cost 100m to replace. And then there’s the bulging pocket inflation. So you’ve lost a season potentially, maybe made 50m and only replaced a player? They are KEEN as Feck to get him. He’s an Islamic Icon. Are we going to be a soft touch or a shrewd corkonian here
plus players are going to be cheesed off at losing the chance to win trophies this season. We get hosed when we want players. Let’s return the favor

Going big deadline day feels very biased towards the Newcastle cause with a narrow margin for success with the transfer. You’re probably right though, don’t really see many other reasons to do it this way.
I was seeing whirlwind for a minute there
Wait until Jan and accept 150+m. He can go from Afcon to Saudi, then.
We have enough time between now and then to scout his replacement.
Don't see how we can turn this down if it's like 150m up front.
Take the cash, and get Gonclaves and a CB
Yeah, I would stay clear of Saudi embassies.
If we take the cash now we will have the same squad as we have now until next year, minus our best player.
Great plan, that.
We already have an Oompah Loompah in Harvey Elliott - Gonclaves (who is 5cm taller) just has better stats and can play anywhere (RW, LW, CM, AM, and CDM). He has a €80m buyout clause and is probably on €50k per week if that.
His injury record is really good

Motherfuckers act like they forgot about Doak
Nearly 200m for a 31 year old - even if we don't spend any money till Jan, we still have enough attackers to carry us through
And we would have one more (the one who scores the most goals) if we rejected all offers today and told them to come back in January.
There is no reason to think that they wouldn't.
They will come back with more or less the same deal at the end of this season anyway. They are only interested in making a statement, not money.
We can have MO for this season. It's up to the club to find someone to replace him at the end of the season, which seems to be a tall order these days.

the only thing is the club World Cup isn’t it, he won’t be available for that if they wait until January
Currently Salah is letting us decide, which is still decent compared the way some other players have behaved with such offer. However, at what point does he start pushing for it himself?
Way some posters are keen to take the money on here without a replacement, it’s almost like 6CM posters are going to recieve a share of the fee…

That's true. I'm sure they would still want him. If not, that's fine too. I'd rather we didn't even sell him in January or next summer to be honest.
