Georginio Wijnaldum: Liverpool agree £25m deal with Newcastle for midfielder
http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/36846756
Newcastle could have a lot of spending power in this window with this and their parachute payments. Though they probably have a massive wage bill too...
Haven't they already spent it? They've been on a shopping spree since the window opened.Quote:

The Hanley transfer was reported as about £5.5m and the Gayle one near to £10m
Thanks Jon. I looked it up after your post. The Gayle and Ritchie transfers are just over the £10m mark. So they've spanked a lot like you say. Hopefully their doing an OGS. That's already quite a few players already to integrate into a team and I'm sure they've got more spending to do.
They should smash this league this season
Wish I didn't agree with you. Hopefully they get off to a bad start and the pressure mountsQuote:

Maybe. But last time they bounced straight back up they did it with a settled side that was kept together after relegation.Quote:

i think of it as most clubs in the championship will be going to st james park and be completely overwhelmed so expect them to win most of their home games they've mad some good signings and can't believe Bournemouthhad let matt ritchie go
I expect them to ease their way to promotion.
i expect them or A.Villa to be 1st match on the highlights programs every fking week.Quote:
