  1. People are harsh on Murphy but over the last couple of seasons he's held his own.  Yes he's had some bad games but who hasn't - certainly been more good than bad.

    I think Ramsdale would be a slight upgrade on Pope tbh.

    Is he though? :howe: I can only see us selling Pope if there is a concern over his injury. I am not convinced by Ramsdale - lacks consistency which isn't surprising given his comments

    It didn't work in January by all accounts.

     

    Just have to keep him as a squad player for the final two years of his contract if he refuses to go to Saudi because I can't see any other club coming in for him.

    throw more

    I wonder if he’s been told, we’re either looking to move him on in the summer or he’s going to be 3rd choice striker next season, behind a new striker. 

     

     

     

    I just can't see Eddie selling him - just too loyal to the player. But I hope he proves me wrong.

    The first one is ridiculous :lol:

     

    How good is the punditry there compared to what we see nowadays btw? No hyperbole or attempts at banter, just a calm, honest analysis of what's happened. 

    I was just thinking that - just different class.

    Can Nobby? 

    Great they did it in their own language and will get lots of views from PL loving, football mad, South Americans. Some, of whom, we might well be flirting with ?

    Oh I didn't think of that. Good point 

  7. I am really worried about this transfer window - as it's huge.  I just sense am going to be disappointed as there are so many positions that need addressing and the club can't address them all.

    Got 150 points, but that Brighton goal cost me 10 points. Thanks Reece James.

    Reece getting injured meant Gusto coming on got a few people out of jail.  Of course I transferred him out.

    If Pope was fit I have no doubt we'd drop Dubravka in a heartbeat. 

    My concern is I don't trust Pope not to get injured again - if we have to rely on Dubs again next season I think I would cry.  The man just sucks all hope out the air when he's on the pitch - it is no coincidence that our form plummeted when he came into the side.  I commented somewhere that a keeper wasn't a priority - am not sure what I was thinking.  If you look at Liverpool, City and even Newcastle when we got Pope.  Having a World Class Keeper is the foundation of a rock solid defence.  Pope would have saved at least two of Man U's attempts yesterday - am convinced of it.

  10. If I was PIF I would spend what I want and deal with it in the courts.  Drown UEFA/PL in the courts - the rules are anti-competitive and deserve to be challenged. 

  11. Top flight Footballers just live in a different world - totally forget the privileged lifestyle they live.  He could learn a thing or two from Gordon - played U21s - within a week of it ending was in Newcastle training, now he'll be off to Australia before then joining the England squad. So no break in two years - if anyone has a case to complain it's him.

    If Pope is on the bench then he’s not far off being match fit. Howe has that stupid loyalty thing.. “it’s Dubs place to lose now” etc.. it’s really stupid.

    Probably his one flaw

    His comments are spot on. 

     

    He'll want to be at his best for the England camp. Players like Trippier don't just prepare for a game the day before, they'll be eating right, sleeping well and focusing on what's coming up. Jetting to the other side of the world for two end of season friendlies the players will get absolutely nothing from is exactly what he says it is - far from ideal. 

     

    yeah but his job is Newcastle and he needs to go earn us some coin.

    He is literally an awful keeper

    Literal nonsense.

     

    But I'm fine with him moving on and us bringing in someone new to push/alternate with Pope.

     

    Still think it's nonsense? :mung:
