CONFIRMED Will Osula sold to Newcastle United

30!

£30m for a 22 year old striker with 4 senior career goals?! Games gone.

The game went a long time ago.

When you have various ordinary players commanding huge transfer fees, and £100k plus a WEEK in wages, and the likes of Chelsea having young kids on £30-£40k a week who will never play for them and are instead just used as a way to bring in loan fees, and then young kids some as young as 6 years old being signed up on a contract and their parents mortgage paid off etc....

The game is basically obscene now with the money involved. Meanwhile, we have things like food banks and people deciding whether to eat or heat their home, and councils cutting services left right and centre. In many respects, I absolutely despise elite football and all that comes with it.

Not that I'm one to say I told you so. However.....

Utter madness! And we wonder why we can't compete. When clubs at the top are spending this much on a player of Osulas pedigree it makes it impossible to compete even if you do get a season of Prem money.

Bonkers

Wow,I liked Osula for his potential. Seen him a few times for the Geordies and looks way off a premier league starter. He makes a lot of unnecessary fouls and gets in wrong positions. GLTTL,I hope he makes it.

I just hope the transfer happens at the price quoted.

I thought we were taking the piss when we got £10m for him, getting the full £15m is unreal.

Probably shouldn’t be surprised, this is the league that thought Louie Barry was worth £35k a week.

 

[ATL Recs]

15% on any profit. So £2.7m.

That can pay Selles contract up then

 

[S5Blade]

Reported now to be a loan move with an Option...... so nothing for us, yet.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Stand down

 

[SittingontheBall]

Not so much Craig Hope as Bob Hope.

 

[Whitby-Blade]

Looks like the Osula deal has collapsed last minute. No sell on fee for the time being.

Oh well, it was good while it lasted.
