Lloyd Kelly

I liked Kelly and never got the hate for him.

Unfortunately for him, I think he's going to filed under the folder of didn't quite hit the hights of his potential (still had a very good career mind).

I think the problem with Kelly is that is has all the attributes to be an elite player but the different between top top players and those below is that they have the consistency to deliver 9 times out of 10 whilst the likes of Lloyd is 5-6 times out of 10. You never know which you are going to get.

Zaba and Deano on the other hand have shown they can eclipse Ake with what I have seen so far because they have the physcial stature AND deliver consistently.
 
Thought Newcastle's defence would have benefitted from a pacey CB yesterday. If they gave other options though, why not take the money and run? Although do they, given they were desperate to sign that Palace centre back in the last window?
 
Juve sell Huijsen for 13m and buy Kelly for 15m….

And i thought we’d had some bad Directors of Football.
It’s PSR isn’t it. £13m sale of an academy graduate is £13m pure profit to the balance sheet. A £15m purchase will be amortised over five years so will only dent their PSR this year to the tune of £3m. So those two transactions will give them a ten million profit for this accounting period. Juve were selling off all of their young players in the Summer for this reason, Newcastle sold their best young players for the same reason. It’s modern football.

Never as good or as bad as people say. Fairly good player when not injured but not amazing. Definitely, a decent person, though. He got lucky with the Newcastle offer. Good for him.

Lloyd signs for Newcastle on hefty wages and signing on fee, Newcastle get an asset for pennies which they can make a quick profit on for PSR. Both of those parties are happy.

I think there are back door deals going on all over the place. I've no evidence but it all seems like a sham to me.
 
I wonder if that means Newcastle are now a CB short and will look to buy someone before the window shuts?

In unrelated news, AFCB have blocked all of Newcastle's numbers.

We won’t be selling anyone this window. If we sell to Eddie and his Saudi paymasters in the summer we need to double the price like everyone else does to them. Blood money.
