The Donkey

[Accedalyday]

It wasn't £70m it was 70m donkeys.

Of course we declined.

It's Saudi Arabia mate.
70m camels, and for the value of camel piss, it could be WELL worth it.

If we got anything over £50m I think its a 'get out of jail free' card for us.

 

[Fabio]

Money down we accept a bid for a good fee, and he refuses to go

Richard Hughes has to be like George Costanza at work, what a legend

 

[Modo]

If we rejected a bid for Nunez it has to be a lot less than the quoted £70m fee.

 

[Markeh]

they may have only seen darwin play against newcastle so they might think he’s occasionally decent

What an incredible comparison 🤣🤣

£5m + £65m of add ons

 

[Modo]

£5m + £65m of add ons

I'd take it but I'd also take a family bucket of KFC so...

 

[Glen C]

If it is indeed £70m then its criminal to reject it. We would get around half that from any club with a brain.

 

[Hansern]

I think the interest is real but that 70 mill bid cant be. Not even the Saudis with bottomless pockets would start that high

If we accwpt the first offer and do not negotiate fir a higher price they may think he really is shit if the dont even haggle with us. Get it ?

 

[bluebell]

let Edwards do his job, it was the offer. It wasn't first and final offer.
I think if he gets the £75m+ he wants, he will make Salah and VVD a final take it or leave it offer feeling that he could replace them in the summer.

 

[Best Believe It]

I would hope we've only rejected it because we're convinced we can get more. He's miles below the quality we need.

I question his quality to the extent he does not suit our system or league. He will do really well in Spain and Germany, and defo in Saudi.

I’m starting to feel sorry for poor Darwin - it’s only 12 months ago we were told he was the best number 9 in the world and if you discounted Mo’s penalties and only looked at minutes played and added in his assists, then he was our best forward ever, on track for the “balloon door” and better than Haaland.

12 months later we’d settle for half a bag of stale camel poo as compensation and the only Greek teen virgin in existence with no girlfriend, as a replacement.

 

[Woland]

I remember thinking he might not be shite for a few stupid weeks, but that was it.

 

[Squiggles]

We can rarely complain about the fees we receive for players. If a deal is to be done, I do trust Edwards and Hughes to secure more than we expected, especially considering it’s his former manager who is interested. There isn’t as easy a Plan B when that’s the case. From their perspective, it’s very targeted, and they’re less likely to walk away. The club just needs to keep the conversations ongoing.

[Squiggles]

The previous posts suggest there were only verbal proposals, nothing official, so it stands to reason we've told them what we want and we're waiting for them to return with a formal bid.

James Pearce lives to piss on our happiness.

 

[Beamrider]

I think this is about managing expectations in case we can't get near to the quoted £70m, because I think we would 100% sell for that kind of number.

 

[Hansern]

We'd probably be very happy with someone paying 45-50 mill in all honesty.

 

[localny]

Yeah it was around the newscastle away game I reckon. His identical twin Derwood was visiting that same week from Montevideo. 😆

That is still very much in "snap their hand off" territory.

Unless someone desperate / stupid comes along, we'll be lucky to get 30M.

 

[Donavan Ried]

There’s a reason for this mate

Does not mean he should be skipped

 

[tomasjj]

A special kind of stupid is needed to pay a wedge for someone similar

 

[Red Astaire]

Hehe - Giggle town! Reports suggesting Utd are in for him......

 

[The Nomad]

I never doubted ye Darwin...

 

[Woland]

He's still fucking shite

 

[Red Bird]

Nah, he’s just a <what > Andy Carroll!
