Pre-Season 2018/19: Newcastle United 0 - 1 FC Augsburg (FT)

Hope its 90mins of fuck off ashley chants -
Fulham can't think they can play us at what we are best at and win.

http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11678/11447492/fulham-and-newcastle-still-2m-apart-in-potential-deal-for-aleksandar-mitrovic Forget about that one happening then. Can see us loaning him out again now.
-
Full respect and all the best to the Chancellor. Class imo and he will show it headscratching why it didn't work out but hopefully whomever rafa brings in will work better for him.
-
Likewise Atsu if he stays fit. Seems odd we would bring anyone else in unless we shift Aarons and Ritchie. 4 wingers is pretty squad standard, especially when Perez has played out there and we have a couple of young-uns in the reserves too.

"Rafa, you will be happy to know the Meyler deal has been completed as requested. He drove a hard bargain and we caved on wages but he is happy to be here and away from Hull."
-
Been linked to Joe Bryan before so could definitely see that being true. Regarding the rumoured contract offers that looks like the start of the predictable defensive offensive from club in retaliation to the Rafa quotes. "Hey look we offered Rafa this great contract with 100m to spend, yet its still not enough for greedy Rafa" Doesn't mention the 100m is based over 10 windows with 100 stipulations and requirements, last say with Charnley and Barnes and zero investment in the training grounds or Acadamy etc..
-
Wasn't it just a couple of days ago the story broke and said "Atlanta value the player at £20m" Us "offering" £10m is totally believable Yes. Judging by the reaction of their fans online, they regard that offer as near laughable. Bayern have bid $12 (8m) for Alphonso Davies so not that far off the mark to be honest.

Andre Schurrle. Nufcblogs has outdone themselves this time.

He has a great eye for goal and good positioning up top. He just doesn't feel right for me at #10 but I don't know where he properly fits in with our formation. He doesn't look bad up top but he is too lightweight and gets marked out of the game. Arguably his best form for me was when he was out wide up top in his first season or so but we have better players for there now. Those stats don't lie though if he can keep that kind of form up, remembering he looked invisible for much of the season, lightweight and sloppy in possession at times, maybe he would be ok still starting for us at 10. I think for me its lofty expectation of wanting a Hatem with trickery, creativity and ability to score blinding goals or create them out of nothing. Ironic when his best play also came from out wide. We simply won't pay for a player that can do that and Ayoze will give his all. IF (as we all know this looks like it isn't happening as usual) we come out of the window with a top draw or pretty decent front man that can actually create some space and hold up the ball we might see a greater improvement of Ayoze as a secondary striker too. I think he has just never settled and had the chance to settle into any true position. I am not against keeping him there if he continues his form I just hope we also get someone else capable of playing there.

We could generalize with West Ham but this embodies everyone else in the transfer window followed by our attempts. http://cdn.smosh.com/wp-content/uploads/ftpuploads/bloguploads/0713/funny-prank-gif-tape-face.gif Except its Ashley that put up the tape.

www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11095/11442395/west-ham-newcastle-interested-in-mexican-diego-reyes West Ham linked again. It's like palace when Pardew was there.

Cats? Probably a study somewhere? Was looking for the headline black cats turn on each other.

Muto: Mainz’s sporting director Rouven Schroder told Bild that no club has made an official bid yet: “There are inquiries, but so far no concrete offer!” Sounds like us. We are now safely back in prime monitoring mode after scaring ourselves shitless making an inquiry.
-
He walks out he'll get sued by the club for breach of contract. He's doing the right thing running it down. He should walk out and then take them for constructive dismissal like Keegan did Has far more public grounds and evidence of promises not kept. As highlighted in the Ashley thread a decent article from the chronicle for once https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/contradictions-heart-mike-ashleys-newcastle-14928479

Among so many other ownership and club hierachy faults, I feel like there is just basic lack of communication and ergo respect being shown to Rafa. Complete conjecture but I don't think he is getting kept in the loop with what is going on behind the scenes for transfers. Thats what I took from his last quotes. Either way it is astonshing he is still with us. I know he is hoping Ashley caves and sells the club, ironically he likely will at half the current asking price once rafa is gone and the club return to the championship.

In years so long past I would wake up in the morning excited for ye old Newsnow refresh. Every bloody day is getting worse this year. Perfect tactics so far to make us accept Rondon. Considering the filth we are starting to get linked to now middle of the road signings seem like a pipedream.
-
It's just bonkers. He stands to lose far more by not backing Rafa while the flipside he will only gain. Just by losing Rafa the club's value plummets not least with the turmoil and hell the fans will rain down on the club.

Their right back has had him in his pocket the whole time so far. Fernandez, Yarney and Longstaff look just fine. -
Don't really get the math if the rags are still saying we have 40-50m to start with plus sales. We have an extra 10 from Merino and have offloaded Gamez and Haidara so far with Colback, Mitro and Mbemba all close too. Either we don't have the 40-50m budget they keep saying we have or Rafa is playing a few mind games. Blatantly both.
