Why is it crazy to sell a striker that’s never scored a league goal for us and would be starting the season as 3rd choice for £10m? Huge gamble for Newcastle if he goes. Good business for us

If the situation were reversed an WE were buying Osula from ANOTHER club, absolutely no-one would be in favour!
 
One of the biggest shames for me though is this new formation looked ideal and a 6ft 4 lad with strength and pace to burn from the wide fwd position would have caused havoc. Hopefully we can find like for like for an outlay of a couple of million

Not sure. Their stats are best looked at in the future though our we may as well chuck Arblaster in for whatever we can. All found themselves Premier League clubs with likely loans to the Chanpionship and all likely have financial ceilings x 5 and 10 what we made on them. Hands tied in some ways, original comment airing what a shame it likely will be with all 3

You could have just said 2.

So 3 strikers with 2 league goals between them.

Lankshear was never going to stay as we poached him from down south. So pointless getting upset about him. Jebbo was constantly injured and never looked remotely close to the first team when he was given his chances. Osula was the only one that showed any promise, but still never scored a league goal and we could get up to £15m for him. A completely unproven player.

Remember when people got upset about Tyler Smith, Ky Gordon and Zak Brunt? Where are they now?

Well we are left with the prolific Rhian,no worries.

Rhian is more prolific than Osula, at least he's scored.

Think it's an excellent piece of business in the short term......but could be a poor piece of business in the long term, who knows?
I suppose the owner is hoping for promotion before the parachute payments stop, so he's thinking short term...not long term.

Striker, Prem experience, big and powerful, great age. Be £15-£20m. 😂😩
 
Wilder must be in agreement, presumably. The main question, will this allow in permanent incomings????

Not sure we did get upset about those you mentioned. And yes pointless getting upset about the 3 individual reasons Lankshear, Osula and Jebbison all went for but our net profit versus net deficit in the winning these types of transfer battles is always negative. Made a couple of million on the recurring joke Jordan Slew and made an untangible deficit on many many players we sold "because we had to" - we just need to be run a bit better that's all.. On the plus side selling now and getting 2 or 3 targets that fetch a fee could in theory bring an extra 6-10 points to our August/Sept points total which could be worth 150m+ so glass half full... 🍺

Not really.....wait until the end of the transfer deadline and then judge.
Think everyone will be very happy. It's just wheeling and dealing.

Eh? If we weren’t skint, we wouldn’t be selling in order to fund transfers.
 
Good money but Newcastle are paying 10 million for his potential alone, imagine his value if he started to realise that potential…
 
To put this price into some perspective, eddie nketia ( maybe spelt wrong ) going for 17 m to marseilles
 
I’ll be a bit gutted if he goes, always liked him. But if we can get a good GK and a couple of CB’s with the fee then they’ll earn us more points than Osula would’ve next season so needs must.
 
I’m fine with this as long as the money is reinvested, and quickly. We can’t afford to make the same mistakes as last season after selling Ndiaye and Berge
 
Never rated him that highly, Jebbison always looked the better prospect for me but neither are proven after a considerable amount of time.
If its a decent fee then hopefully we can get someone in with a bit more pedigree.
 

If we get 10 mil plus add ons, we would be crazy not to turn it down. He hasn't proven himself except for the u21's. It affords us monies to spend and start the season with wins. If it had been for 1mil say, then no, but come on 10 fkin mil. Christmas comes early this year.
