Where did the Brajan Gruda talk come from? I was away that weekend and remember (barely) reading something about him in this thread?
-
Laughed out loud when Bruno said “I thought I would pass away” He said it in such a Bruno funny way as always.

Yes we have more important areas, I get that. But for me it doesn’t change the fact that we don’t have quality in depth there and that we are vulnerable in that area.
-
We have enough in numbers, yes, but not in quality! We look very vulnerable there.
-
Hopefully this won’t drag on for too long no matter what way it ends up. Risk of another club going coming in and not wasting time, or less time for us to pursue other targets. Fingers crossed this is very close to happening.

Ridiculously good signing. They also manage to do them quickly/quietly. Doubt we will sign another CM but I think we lack in that area. We don’t have quality in depth there. We barely have any backup of similar standard.

This. Stop pistong these fucking ”people”

A Night out. Have i missed something? My stats and account don’t look good. Unlikely that I passed the eye test either. Need a graph.

And I thought it was nice that the Minteh thread went quiet for a while so we could enjoy this instead….

Thank fucking God!!

Scared as shit hearing Isak and shoulder in the same sentence!

Cheers mate. I’ll give it a try. Hopefully can find a decent stream.

I agree it’s not the best example or name. But the more exposure we get from all the talk in all sorts of media can only be an advantage for us. It raises the hype. Even when on a smaller scale.

Watchable anywhere?

I know he aint Ronaldo or anything like that. And that he’s not a big name in that regard. But his England performances and the hype around it along with being an extremely ambitious and expensive signing is a massive show of intent imo. This intent and ambition will cause a lot of talk about Newcastle and the direction we’re heading into. This signing alone will not result in massive deals all of a sudden. But the ambition of signing an England international and off of their better performance will help raise the profile of the club. Sponsors want “proof” of where a club is going and if there is a lot a lot about us in the media and the PL circus then sponsors will know about it and see this as a good potential investment.

This might be a different kind of point, you may not agree with it making sense but I’m convinced I’m right, despite getting things wrong all the time How much effort and money do companies (clubs too) put into marketing? Trying to grow their brand and reputation in every way possible. “If you’re not seen you’re not heard of”. Signing like Guehi however expensive he might be will be great PR for the club. People will be raising eye brows and the club and its ambition will get plenty of talk in the news and all sorts of media. This cannot be underestimated imo how much it will also help us off the pitch regarding the brand Nufc and potential sponsors and so on.

I know we’ve been joking about the likes of Schar and Coloccini playing the DM position. Guehi could actually do it genuinely well I reckon. Don’t get me wrong I don’t want him there but he has the awareness of space and is very very agile and nippy on the turn for a CB. Has so much composure and calmness in his game. When we attack I can see him going forward quite a bit at times. He also has the specialty tool in his locker at being able to read a situation and press forward nick the ball in front of the opposition ball, either with a quick burst forward or the octopussy leg around and then win the ball and recycle our attack once we’ve lost possession in the last third. Winning the ball off the opposition straight away in the last third after losing it can be so dangerous for us.
