Happy Face

We can get 3 players for the best part of £50m as Souey proved. That was years ago, we were a champions league chasing side, in the UEFA cup. We could then, we can't now. we finished lower the season just before owen and luque signed than we did last season, champion's league chasing my arse. oh and we werent in the uefa the season luque and owen joined either. Aye, a poor season after Robson did so brilliantly, so that's when we really had to be blinded by the cash being flashed so Freddy had to suck Owens cock for him to come (even though he was a crock no-one wanted). Luque was one of the bung deals, must have been, because he was vastly overpriced, are you saying you want more of those 2 types of signing. just because a club is spending money doesnt mean the transfers have to be shit, as souness's were, i said they were done without sense earlier in the thread. the club needs to take more care of how it spends money, better scouting specifically, but it has to be spent all the same if we want to move forward substantially. not sure allardyce is the man i'd trust in the event of us having a lot of money, mind. Spot on. but there's only about 15 transfers ever that have been as big as £25M. Not one of those players would have considered Newcastle. I'm happy to give Allardyce a few quid to bring in quality. but the £100m total and £15m+ criteria Parky is suggesting is mental. He knows it but he's just having a great laugh at all the tits agreeing with him. See where he says something like "where will they all fit?" that's how you know, because when all the non-european clubs spend daft money on ever shitter players and they can't all break into the top 4, he knows they end up like Leeds. well i agree but dont think the 25m+ or 100m figures are entirely serious as you say. but i think we're in a pretty good position to spend some substantial bucks, reduced debt, more tv money, stadium mostly full, billionaire owner the reasons. there's some issues that might derail that, chairman who looks a bit too conservative, manager who might not be the best spotter of talent or handler of money, lack of established scouting network, not having the training or support (or manager?) to get best out of players once they arrive at the club. for these reasons i dont expect us to spend big in this window and would generally support that but i hope in the summer we're ready to compete. Take a look who spent more than us in 07-08. Tottenham Sunderland Birmingham Derby Fulham They're hardly a convincing argument for boom rather than bust. Slow and steady wins the race.

I'm back to spoil your fun. You're like the forum's Alan Oliver with these fantasies to whip up your baying crowd.

...following that logic (painful) even if we spent 50m on 2/3 players they still wouldn't come....eh? You think we can't attract top players? The PL is now the No.1 destination of most top players in the world read the opening article. Thought so. I don't think we can't, I know we can't. Fucking Steve Sidwell didn't even want to come. Not good enough. You know jack shit from what Iv'e read so far. Sorry. I just don't buy all this we can't attract quality lark. Football is a speculative business model. Are you pissed? Sidwell is not fucking good enough. Look we either compete and therefore start to spend to match our ambitions or we wank on about Sidwell and Santa Clause or Cruz or whatever other muppet someone turns up for 5m..... The point is my dear boy, Sidwell DIDN'T WANT TO COME? How exactly are we attracting all these players better than him? We looked a joke chasing Rooney, and we'd look a joke chasing anyone else in that bracket at the moment. The point is now we have a billionaire owner, no debt, 25% more telly money, the richest league on the planet. talk of breakaway leagues, branding in Asia....Read the script ringo and the agree with me. Or move away I ain't selling peanuts. Parky, you talk daft in chat and it's funny, but football is serious man. Even when Shearer came and we were challenging, everyone outside Newcastle knew he was daft, it was just geordie loyalty that brought him here (and god bless him for it).

Starting? They've been spending big for years man. The mackems have spent as much as Portsmouth this year so don't tell me it guarantees success.

We can get 3 players for the best part of £50m as Souey proved. Well this kinda leads back to my point, spending big on players is useless if you arent competent enough to get the best out of them. Most of Sounesses signing were justifiable but when it came down to it, they didnt perform because the management and coaching wasnt upto scratch. This is why i would be against giving Allardyce so much money in suchg a short period of time, becuase as it stands in my book he hasnt done anthing with his signings and hasnt brought on the games of many or any of the players that we have at the club. Its a recipe for disaster if you ask me. Exactly. Allardyce can't manage his tea. Needs to get us into Europe on a Bolton budget then fuck off to be replaced by someone who knows that players need to move even when they don't have the ball.

I thought this was a wind up thread that would die on it's arse, but as some people are deluded enough to buy into this... £100M on 15 - £25m players will get you 4 - 7 players. Name me 4 - 7 players who's are currently valued at that (or even went for £10M in the last couple of years) that would come to the Toon now.

quite amazing the amount of people still refusing to admit this, thus admitting the ex board showed ambition that we have yet to see from their successors. The ex board displayed a reckless abandon in trying to spend us out of trouble that would have left us as the next Leeds.

You meant 15 - 25m each. ....so it follows some might be 15m. Yes? Look at VDVaarts valuation or a top tier DM etc... No hiding from it we need to spend some cash, all this going round the houses about installing saunas and freezers and 30 technical staff won't make a jot of differance if there isn't quality on the park. Case closed. I think Mort/Ashley putting £75M into balancing the debt, specifying young talent as a priority and buying Tozer points in a direction away from Shepherds vanity trips to grab Owen or Rooney and have a parade for their arrival, a glorious to parade to celebrate our might, while hiding several skeletons in our safety deposit box. The last thing we need is to buy £15m+ players whose value would likely drop faster than you can say "Luque, Boumsong, Owen, Cort, Kluivert, Marcelino". I don't want to continue buying average players, but maybe that's just me. I think we've only spent £15m+ on 2 players in our history. And one of those is yet to achieve average status. We've had a lot more brilliant players than that though. Stop buying average players and return to making brilliant players.

I thought when you said... You meant 15 - 25m each.

Nothing to discuss. We'd be bringing in 20 players to spend that kind of money because no £25M player is coming to Newcastle. Struggled to attract a past his sell by date, injury prone Owen no-one else wanted for a vastly inflated £16M. Cloud cuckoo land.

Aye, I passed that one round the coach down. The first two colums were woeful, the common sense 3rd column was like a qvc bit of diamonique in the shit.

what a hysterical post - all this talk of disgrace, a small cabal of fans forcing something on the rest, democracy. jesus wept. What's more hysterical, the idea that the cabal thought their efforts would achieve anything or that I think they were wrong to even attempt it?

But you'd be more of a critic than a fan. I like to stand with supporters rather than naysayers.

OK granted you can't refer to that which you did not experience. Put another way, think about the eighty odd football league teams (and their fans) who would love to have what NUFC has. Or even another way, think about our closest rivals in the "city" ten miles down the road. Do we still have a lot to complain and moan about ? There is no doubt that they would all love to be where we are right now. But that suggests we should rest on our laurels, happy to simply be in the top division every year. Happy to be above loads of other teams. Where I personally (and I'm sure many others) get so disillusioned is when I think about where we could be, with this stadium, these facilities, this ridiculously loyal fanbase etc etc. And before anyone points it out, I know the previous board helped us to get to that status. It's a terrible cliché, but we're the classic example of a sleeping giant. A 'could do better'. I don't see the issue with wanting the best. Of course there are loads of knee-jerking mongs (on the forums and at SJP), but who takes notice of them? I certainly don't. On a side-note, that's what wor lass calls me chopper. People can be cruel about impotence.

Some people need to ask themselves if they're supporters or viewers. Circle the wagons and stand up for the man/men we've got.

Can you imagine .com getting a dossier going for Steve Bruce and promoting him for the job? 2 blokes in their bedrooms could abuse their well earned position to completely fuck the club over. Obviously this site couldn't though as it hasn't earned the respect of that one.

Kids in internet forums are angry. It's the violent video games and lack of sex that does it.
