L- we gotta be fair on these things, right? What, the type of players that we're trying to buy at the moment require a lot of negotiation.
If you're trying to get, say, for instance, w- uh, let, let's start with Bruno Guimaraes, right? If you're trying to get a player like that, who's the captain of Newcastle, he's their best player, who they do not wanna sell, it's gonna be a lot of negotiation to get a deal like that done.
And, and just before this show started, we got the breaking news that Eddie Howe has left Newcastle.
Now, do you reckon, Curtis, that that's got anything to do with the fact that Bruno Guimaraes is on the verge of leaving the club? There was even rumors saying that this deal could be done by the end of this week.
He's, he's set to return back from, um, his holiday and set to be back with the, uh, Newcastle squad on Friday, but he wants to move.
Arsenal have put a bid in of, of around about 70, uh, million pounds plus add-ons, so about 75 million at the moment.
Um, and I, I think Eddie Howe leaving makes it easier to do the deal as well because Eddie Howe might be, that might be part of the reason that he's going.
He's thinking, "W- I'm gonna get sacked eventually anyway, aren't I?" It's...
And they, I think they lost 4-1 last night in a, in a friendly to a championship team, so the writing was on the wall for him.
This ain't a new thing, is it? Like, they've got this unique ability to just drag a transfer out like you wouldn't believe.
Like, I think we all know it's gonna take around 80 million to get Bruno out of Newcastle, and I think he's worth every penny, to be honest.
