Jetro Willems available for 10 million
Jetro Willems available for 10 million
Read this yesterday that he has a release clause for 10 million after he initially signed for eintract Frankfurt for 8 million. Seems an absolute steal given the current market and the fact he has a goal and assist to his name already.
Sign him permanently Bruce!

Re: Jetro Willems available for 10 million
Yeah, that’s nothing at all nowadays so if he wanted to stay we should definitely be looking into it. Nice to have an actual LWB in that position rather than playing someone out of their natural position. He definitely gives us more attacking threat down that side.

We'll open the bidding at 9 million and then stop there.

Re: Jetro Willems available for 10 million
I heard it was set at £6m ? I’m sure commentators said it during Man Utd game

€6m. That'll be at least £10m this time next month.
Re: Jetro Willems available for 10 million
Seems stupid not to buy him for that price.

Buy him for €10m in Jan, sell for €15-20m in summer, no brainier

I think it's an €8m buyout so around 6. 5M sterling I believe
I'll Hazard a guess

Re: Jetro Willems available for 10 million
Someone said something about learning from mistakes made with Merino. But here we're. Newcastle is probably the only club in the workd who doesn't want lessons. They don't like lessons. They prefer to do what they try to do in the last 12 years. Although so far it's crisis after crisis. Idiotic decison after idiotic decision.

Mistakes with Merino? I know he wasn't here long, but we signed him based on a release clause, and he left based on a release clause. That seems like a pattern down to the player/representation rather than the club itself. Demba Ba could come under the same banner. Signed him based on a relegation release clause, which then gave his representation the power to insert what later seemed like a low fee for the future.Double Agent Bruce a.k.a DAB wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2019 8:52 pmSomeone said something about learning from mistakes made with Merino.

Surely the issue with Merino was simply that Rafa had no intention of playing him? Can't even remotely blame him for going.

I thought he never really settled either?

Re: Jetro Willems available for 10 million
Rafa did play Merino until his back injury, which he struggled with for months even when back playing. Then we were on a run of great form with Shelvey and Diame, which Rafa didn't want to disrupt, which is when Merino's agent started advertising his release clause.

All true too. But has nothing in common with the Willems situation.PTAO? wrote: ↑Thu Oct 24, 2019 1:56 pmRafa did play Merino until his back injury, which he struggled with for months even when back playing.

Think he be keen on joining. Good player and cheap, why wouldn't we?

Re: Jetro Willems available for 10 million
A goal and two assists in eight games, definitely makes a difference having a proper LWB. Hope we make it permanent in January.

Re: Jetro Willems available for 10 million
I'm curious as to what's going to happen when Ritchie is back, I hope he's switched to RWB, if he can replicate his LWB performances there then I'm really happy with our defence, especially with Lejeune close to coming back too, looking forward to seeing them spraying some balls into the front 3 on the counter.

Nice headache to have when Lejeune and Schar are back. If the rest of our team had the strength we’ve got in the CB positions then we’d be pushing top 4

Re: Jetro Willems available for 10 million
Ironically, I agree with you that CB depth has been a strength for several seasons now, yet I feel like a lot of our conceded goals this season have come from poor marking in close to goal, not dissimilar to the number of CB gaffs in the first half of last season too. Guess that probably has more to do with how much pressure our CBs have been under because of the mediocre play from the positions ahead of them.Bodacious Benny wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 4:23 pmNice headache to have when Lejeune and Schar are back.

Re: Jetro Willems available for 10 million
Since over half of our league goals this season have been scored by defenders maybe we should just play a couple pf them up front to fit everyone in!Bodacious Benny wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2019 4:23 pmNice headache to have when Lejeune and Schar are back.
