Enzo again

enzo for 120m is a laughing stock

how about try to imagine the reaction here if today is Guehi first game for us after the 70m move? I guarantee it would be hundred times worse than this

Now I got a genuine question. Those strength you mentioned are correct, I did observe it in todays game. But why would that fit in our system? What you describe looks like a great LCB or RCB in a 3 centre back formation - just like Palace or Southgate’s national team. Howe didn’t use 343 or 3421 often. Did he ever look good in a 2 CB formation? Not good in air - I think at the very least he would be better than Schar so fine. I won’t reply the rest. You completely got it wrong. I was saying we, Newcastle, under the PSR limitation, is fucking idiotic to spend all our budget on someone that is close to the finish article but not dominating the league like VVD @ Soton, and doesn’t look like transforming our whole team like what VVD did. So we should revert back to our original way to be patient and find and develop another Botman. Ok?

how about just find other prospects that could become one of the best CB in a few years, like Botman, like what the other club did? Saliba just cost 27m FFS I really can’t get over it. I don’t expect you to say “ah no we can’t attract one of the best CB in the world, so just spend 70m+, breaking our record, on a defender that looks good” It’s 70m pounds FFS. We aren’t Man City. In fact even Man City’s CB didn’t cost that much. Dias, the most expensive one, cost 71m euro.

So you mean we are going to break our bank for a defender that is not one of the best CB in the world? Seriously? All those you mentioned, except VVD, cost the club way less than Guehi. WTF are we doing here? I was expecting you to really explain what’s his strength and why he can bring us to another level, by replacing Schar or Botman. I didn’t expect the answer is no he isn’t one of the best.

So what is his strength that makes him worth the 70m price tag? Other than “he is talented” “he has potential”, is there something more concrete that makes him one of the best CB in the world?

Just google “Joelinton” and “Ashworth” and you will get what you want. There were a lot of news reported back in around last December, that the club did not want to extend Joelintons contract. Then after Ashworth started his garden leave the club immediately started the extension talk with Joelinton. if you have been following the news you should know the above.

Other clubs who paid this amount could afford it even if it fails we are doing this when we are having PSR limit problem yea I know no more PSR boredom. Forget it. I am in the “fuck it just spend and enjoy” camp now. Ok?

I can only say I would pray for his health every Sunday during mass, if we really paid the 7th most expensive fees for a defender in history

That’s not a secret that Schar, Bruno and Joe are relatively easy to be triggered. It’s planned. Before the Schar incident I felt that they were trying to trigger Bruno. Would be a big miss. Fortunately looks like Kelly is quality.

Kinda. The are lots of reasons a transfer could be a failure. By spending over 70m pounds on Guehi, we are at the point of no return.

Exactly what I want to say, injury might happens. We got Woodgate at a very decent price, hence we are not royally fucked. Not this time. We simply can’t fail.

I am pleased he has a game that learnt from, and we didn’t lose any points.

to be fair selling Anderson is a correct move as we have two Miley coming up. Just that the price (10-15m depend on what news you trust) is a bit low.

Impressive cameo. Hope he stays heathly, looks like we need him to play a lot this season

I can only hope he won’t be the new Woodgate, the last defender we have such a big hype before signing.

we are paying a huge premium for the EPL experience, or in other words, to minimise the risk that Guehi is not as good as expected. So what if that really happens? “Ah, nice try. Good game. Move on”?

There must be. The problem is none is EPL proven and Howe wants that. You can say trust Eddie, I would say he has to held responsible for all the consequence.

Luckily he didn’t look worse than before the injury happened. If he can keep heathy we could be something this season

I genuinely don’t understand. I got a broadcast plan to watch all games in a season, can simultaneous play in different devices. Why shouldn’t I maximize it?

I have said the fourth time here. The PSR crisis is not something broke out suddenly at June. It is something you can calculate way way earlier than the D day and we have had a plan in place to deal with it - and we changed it without coming up a real solution, hence the firesale. We knew we have to fill the 40 - 50m hole. Ashworths plan was to sell Joelinton last Jan instead of extending his contract. That was his solution, together with the Trippier / Almiron. The latter two collapsed. For Joelinton, the one who got us 3 points today, Howe simply told Staveley.co to scrap the plan and extend the contract. Staveley did it - and then? How to solve the PSR problem? None, no new plans. No one was really taking up Ashworths job since January. That’s where I criticised the club the most. Now heading to March/April. We started to hear something about Bruno’s release clause. It’s 100m for specific clubs before end of Jun. Didn’t you guys wonder why it’s leaked all over the place suddenly? Look back I did, and probably that’s because selling Bruno was the “new plan”, but only at the max price. I guarantee you Ashworth would never let this happen. Why the hell would you gamble your PSR issue to be resolved by a clause? We were prepared to say bye to Bruno last Jun then? That’s the fucking new plan? And finally last Jun. I don’t want to go into details anymore. Clause expired, we were fucked, we even contacted Liverpool for selling Gordon in discount price (which also shows no club is interested in Bruno). We all know what happened. Of course we have to sell Minteh and Anderson. We have no options left. Brighton robbed us with a thank you from our side. Thanks for robbing us. We have had Minteh in our hands, we have first hand info, we should be the one that knows how good Minteh is. Was Howe being consulted for the sales? Was the management getting informed his real market value base on scout reports? There are a fucking lot of questions that should be asked. I was the one who first supported Joelinton here even when all of you are washing him up and down. He is my favourite player. He won us 3 precious points. Don’t try to say I underrate a solid starting player. That doesn’t change my view that we should have stick to the plan to sell him last January/ this summer to fill the PSR issue. Buy / keep players with potential and sell them at decent / max value is the direction we all agreed with, or being informed by the club, to grow as a club and comply with PSR. Keeping Joelinton and sell two players with great potential is the direct opposite. Selling a starting eleven quality RW whose value is way more than 35m euro is a fucking painful lesson that we should never forget.

Why can’t I watch two games together?

That’s a vintage game for our new captain

that could be a red if VAR ref think it’s intentional
