The Daily Star are reporting that Leicester City will be signing Ayoze Perez for a fee of £16m which we have to believe to be incorrect. The player is most likely gone but surely he would be worth double that figure.
Southampton are buying Championship striker Che Adams from Birmingham City for £15m. So we would be wary of that reported amount as Newcastle United should be getting much more than.
Graeme Bailey who is writer Team Talk as well as the Mirror has tweeted this out about what has happened with Perez:
Ayoze Perez is heading to Leicester City – told Newcastle last summer he wouldn't sign a new deal and wanted out, whether Rafa Benitez stayed or not – now a deal to the King Power is almost done. Interesting move by Brendan Rodgers.
— Graeme Bailey (@GraemeBailey) July 2, 2019
It could be that Ayoze Perez is forcing a move but why to Leicester City? He has been linked with much bigger clubs and could get a move back to La Liga which he claimed was what he dreamed of.
If Ayoze Perez is sold then that would mean our top two scorers Salomon Rondon and Ayoze Perez will be gone from the club. Leaving centre-back Fabian Schar on 4 goals as the highest scorer.
In terms of the takeover happening, this does not look good unless Ashley is trying to strip as many assets out of the club as fast as he can before selling. We wouldn’t put it past him and then watch him sell the club on August 9th.
From what was the highest you could dream of to now the pits of an abyss you would never have believed just a month ago. Tyneside is in turmoil.
We are in deep trouble.

Comment #121Anyway, making Chicken for me tea and not kippers. Is that changing the subject and making me an Ashley shill? Is EGB doing it when he talks about kippers?

Comment #123$16m for Perez??
We couldn’t buy him ourselves for that! Besides all the obvious other issues we are likely to lose our 2 top goal scorers and will probably replace them with some 20yr old child without any PL experience. We are nailed on for a relegation battle already.

Comment #126If the binman is to be believed, in a couple of days to a week, the changes will appear on company house. The radio fella said that BZG were bullish and planning an announcement this week. One way or another we are going to know soon enough. It’s looking good.

It can, outgoings are allowed.
Only thing to fear is when we purchase a player as this would mean all accounts have been lifted, meaning deal is off or delayed.

Comment #138The problem is Tony, we have had many on here who just want to wind people up. They are either mackems or PR from MA. Add this to the fact that we have ongoing problems at the club through the abysmal running of the club over the last 10 years and you might get the picture. You might be a genuine fan, but no one knows for sure. This is why I hate these systems where people hide behind anonymity.

Comment #144bill: just read what I write. If you can say that anything I have said about my NUFC background or knowledge is not true then tell me. I doubt any shill would know Jonny Repp scored from 40 yards into the Leazes net in 1977 for Bastia and was there on a Wednesday night to see it. Jib is good at the google, but even he is not that good.

Comment #148The thing is Tony, the mackems and PR people will probably, in the most, disappear after any takeover. Keeping my fingers crossed, but we have all been here before, several times, as Toon22 keeps reminding us.

Comment #152The real question is not whether I am a shill, it is why a couple of fckwits are trying to scare a genuine NUFC fan off this site who is offering his heartfelt views after following and watching the Toon for over 40 years. Small-minded bullies.

Comment #157Binney, Earlier today on twitter (a link was posted on the blog) a fella who works for a skip company recieved an order for 4 skips from monochrome, the company set up for the transfer of nufc. He posted a photo of the order. The vast majority of hoaxes on twitter are juvenile and derivative. This is either true or a piece of creative genius.

Comment #158I’m still 100% sure that a takeover is still happening i’m Not in the know but there is no way Arseley would be this stupid just before ST deadline . What’s to say that the new manager has already been signed by BZG and he is saying who he wants and who he is prepared to sell. No one knows what’s going on behind the scenes for all we know he could have who he wants lined up and ready to come in.
