Curbishley would be a disaster of an appointment if you ask me, I'm not saying he isn't a good manager but Curbishley the manager and Newcastle the club does not bode well.
I don't get the whole Thomo abuse tbf, he could well be spouting a load of shite but he isn't the first is he? He definitely won't be the last and for anyone who believed this had a good chance of actually happening needs to wake up because we've this kind of rumour over and over again.
As much as I hate Shola and have tried to keep open minded about Xisco baring in mind his lack of opportunities, Xisco hasn't looked like any sort of threat in any of the games he's played.
£9m seems like a fucking fortune for a player with no first touch, no composure, and no intelligent movement tbf.
Difficult to price players these days, certainly isn't worth anymore in this context though.
