£180m NUFC transfer spending this summer shows lack of ambition - Discuss NUFC
Yes, I know Tino Livramento hasn’t formally signed for Newcastle United as yet, but surely only now a case of when, not if, he is added.Eddie Howe has repeatedly said that the intention was to go for him this summer but Everton’s desperate position in January, allowed them to get him early and at a lower price than potentially anticipated . So it was effectively, for sure, using £40m of the summer 2023 transfer pot early.
Just because things have happened quicker than anybody could have expected on the pitch, doesn’t mean that Newcastle United transfer spending then can be allowed to take on a life of its own, just because of a top four finish and Champions League qualification. If you include the likely signing of Tino Livramento, that would mean in these past 22 months, a total spend of around £370m already sinceleft and the 14+ years of damage to NUFC began to be repaired. That is based on the initial guaranteed transfer fees and not including many of the potential future add-ons, amongst which we know that an extra £6.65m will have become due on Bruno, an extra £4m on Isak, as well as other extra cash to be paid out on other signings.
