According to the Evening Standard Newcastle in advanced talks with Chelsea to bring Kenedy to St James.... On Loan..with an option to buy later.
Can we not afford ANYONE ffs?

I think a season long loan with a locked in option to buy at a set price is a good deal.
The way Ashley works is to pay up front for buys but sells and gives the buyer time to pay.
The best we can hope for under the Ashley regime.

Also it smells of, if Rafa leaves next year we wont bother signing Kenedy either ... just a cheap loan ... again .Originally Posted by sherwoodmag

Whilst I agree with folks' concerns about what a loan deal might mean in terms of how much we have to spend or Rafa's future, you could also argue it works out very well for us-means we can spend on another position and also means we have Kenedy coming back, which most of us want.

If we sign him on loan with an obligation to buy, then there is no problem. As the money will definitely be spent (whether it is this year or next i do not care)
But then selling Ritchie to buy Townsend seems a strange one.
But...
We compmain when deals are not done, then we complain when deals look close.
I just hope Rafa is pulling the strings and not the accountants.

But as i have pointed out... if rafa doesnt sign an a new contract soon i cant see him signing one next year either . This is typical Ashley charnley.. not spending.
Kenedy is probably top of the targets list and we aint after buying him.. so who are we saving the money for to buy?
Hall Of Fame
Probably just saving the money...

Ashley is pocketing the money.As usual but apparently he can do as he wants as it's his club and he owes us nothing as a lot of Geordies have been nasty to him.
So back to topic the only way we will see Kennedy here again is through a loan.Only club in the Premier League with nothing to spend.

I am no lover of Ashley, (proven by the fact i jave cancelled my season tickets because of the way tge club is run) but if it is a loan with an obligation to buy, then surely the money IS being spent?
