Adil Chihi, Kay Voser and Adam Taggert look like decent Championship signings on paper but they're not in the squad either. Bit of a clusterfuck going on there.
Their transfer policy has always been a bit bizarre. They signed Larnell Cole and Ryan Tunniclife from Man United (bizarre signings for a Prem team in themselves) and then like 2 weeks later Magath came in, decided he didn't like them and loaned them out. Now they're back there but Tunnicliffe isn't in their squad today and Cole doesn't even have a squad number
Love how they've got about 10 players still on the books that seemingly just can't be arsed to play.
Where are Ruiz, Stekelenburg, Mitroglou, Kacaniklic, Amorebieta etc?
Bellamy and Dyer were cunts and make Ben Arfa look like a saint in comparison, yet they were managed because they were key players. You don't ostracise your most gifted players FFS.
Souness and Pardew are peas in a pod.
I dunno about best player as you can argue the likes of Cabaye are more rounded footballers but Ben Arfa's the most naturally talented we've had in the last decade by a mile IMO. The way the club is ran we wont get another player like him falling into our lap any time soon. Terribly frustrating and depressing situation all round.
Carroll £50 million
Forster £12 million
You know the fees for English players are ridiculous when NUFC can churn out players with these cumulative values.
Manuel Lanzini has gone from River Plate to Al-Jazira in UAE at 21, supposed to be a great talent.
Now that's a shit move, not Valbuena going to Dynamo Moscow at 29.
