Perez Leaving

[Blue & Maroon]

Apparently he was leaving even if Benitez stayed. 15 mills a but low, had a great season just starting to mature.

On it's own losing him isn't a disaster but with all the other s*** it is.

[Somebodys pinched my sombrero]

Not overly concerned? We're going to have no f***er left.

No. Not concerned too much about him going, it’s the manner it’s happening. Apart from the second half of this season, he’s been bang average for the five (?) years he’s been here.

As I’ve said, I’m not renewing my tickets till Ashley goes. Hopefully the next couple of weeks.

[Colly]

Bang average feels an enormous stretch given our team has been either woeful or incredibly defensive through that entire period. And regardless of that it leaves us even shorter of attacking players.

[Sanchino]

Leicester fan in peace!

This has come out of nowhere!!

What’s your opinion on him?

I spoke with my Brother in Law who’s a Newcastle fan and said he’s hit and miss, although young when he’s on it, he’s great.

We’re seeing reports of £15,000,000?!? Feels low.

Agree with what you've said. He's hit and miss but on his day he's brilliant. £15m is very low in my opinion. If you've got him for that in this market, you've done extremely well.

He's the epitome of a confidence player. Wjen the team is playing well he's confident and on another level. When things aren't going well he's not really in the game.

He's a very clever player and needs players on his wavelength. Almiron and Rondon sometimes were but we never really had anyone else who was so often he'd try clever flicks etc but there would be nobody to read them.

I wish him almost the best. As least you seem to be a club with a bit of ambition to love forwards. Perez in a team with Maddison and Tielmens (if yous get him permanently) will be a good side to watch. Also he'd definitely suit a Brendan Rodgers style system so would be a good buy for yous.

This. Thanks for the memories Ayoze!

[Valentino's fast feet]

Perez is valued at 20m euro on transfermarket. Mitro was valued at 15m before we sold him for 22+. Not exactly a good measuring stick for anything really, but interesting enough. I think 15m is a bit low.

[ALF]

Danny Ings was £20m and has scored 12 goals in 4 seasons. And he's a year older than Perez. Wouldn't accept anything under £25m.

Valid point.

[Speedo]

£30m according to Miles Starforth. Decent money if true (not that we’ll reinvest it...)

Well that's the thing. It's not decent .money if we don't reinvest it. In fact it's a shocking deal if we don't reinvest it.

[Don Sholeone]

Being reported by everyone now. We are pretty much f***ed, I have zero confidence in any of the supposed £30m getting reinvested.

[Toon Ireland]

Out of curiosity does this lower the value of the club by 30 mil for any potential takeover? Not that it's going to happen anyway

[vrabbit]

and so the purge goes on. This tweet from Andrew sums it up for me



25 goals gone. No proven PL scorers. No manager. Transfer window has been open for a month plus and we haven't signed anyone, and the end of that streak appears to be nowhere in sight.

Oh, and no clarity on whether Ashley will sell anytime soon.

Awful.

[Hjl]

Looking pretty shitty isn't it ...

[Toondes]

£30m for Perez
Almiron will be taking his place then .
Also , I thought he wanted to leave to go back to Spain ? Not sure 100 miles south of Newcastle to the East Midlands counts.

[seaside nipper]

£30m.........in this case, thanks very much.
However, Longstaff next ?
As if we didn't know, there's a definite trend emerging here

[Blue & Maroon]

30 mill is a great price but we'll never see it again

[Valentino's fast feet]

Apparently Perez had a release clause that was triggered. Sort of an open secret he wanted to move on this summer anyway. The only issue with the sale for my money is that the money won't be reinvested in the playing staff.

Might be a good down payment for Argos.

[PepperJack]

I think 30 million is a fantastic price, unfortunately, we will never see the money again. Gayle and Joselu up front next season it is.

[Somebodys pinched my sombrero]

I’m a bit surprised about his lack of ambition tbh. He’s been heavily linked with a move to Spain and Italy. But Leicester?

£30m is a good bit of business as long as it’s put back into the club. Or it could be Ashley’s final kick in the bollocks for us.

Christ, I wish he would sell up to someone with at least a little bit of ambition.
