Absolute Elsewhere

Because everyone involved with the running of the club is thick as f***.

Everyone being Lee Charnley 

Allan going to Everton 25m plus. Rodrigo to Leeds done for 26m. Meanwhile we carrying on like we don’t have a pot to piss in.

No point for a loan of Holding if there's not an option to buy!

Good defender and if we could sell Lejuene(injury prone) and Schar(not suited in a back 4) for decent money we could reinvest that in the striker department.

 

Would love to see:

Marega

Brewster(loan, option to buy)

Willems(loan, sign on a free when contract ends)

Harry Wilson(loan, option to buy)

Even though a 15m striker and a few cheap loans is what some small newly promoted club would do that would resemble a really good window for us in the state we are in now but we all know we won’t even end up having a window half as good as that. It’s an utter disgrace. If we are acting like tramps we could at least get some exciting young players in on loan but we don’t even do that 

£££££, following the Sunderland model.

Yep. This pre season and the state of our squad now reminds me of the one Sunderland had before they got relegated. Stocking up an already shit squad with random frees and loans. Both got an old school pfm too

Rob Holding on loan apparently. British and loan so it makes sense

That is a lifting team. Looks like something someone one like stoke would put out a proper british Bruce’s mags line up and a all British and irish front 6 and 4 centre mids

You should take heed of your username and f*** off to it.

Pardew is leagues worse than Bruce. Pardew made it hard supporting us when we had some good players. Bruce is more systematic of our current status.

 

How long ago does it seem since the Rafa or Poch debate ?

Well no not really as he got us within a whisker of the champions league and I’m sure we were comfortably a top 10 team when he left too.

I hate Bruce more than Pardew tbh.

Yep. By a long margin too

Bruce imo is way better than Pardew in every conceivable attribute.

Eh!?

Arrogance?

Confidence?

Fret?

The amount of lasses had?

Europa league QF?

Been the king?

I know that. Just saying it shows how bad bruce is and what a shit situation we are in when having the king back would be an improvement. He wasn’t a Sunderland or Man U lover and never pretended to be a Newcastle fan either

Bruce is worse in every possible way man. All the criticisms thrown at the king apply to bruce. But at least under the king we played some good stuff and signed a few good players. I’m no pardew fan but that’s how much I despise Bruce

And look at the talent we let go or give away: Abeid, Mbabu, etc.  Not world beaters any of them but very solid squad players at least.

Most of the young players we have let go haven’t been good enough or gone on to be a premier league level player  and they wouldn’t get a game for us now other than probably Mbabu.

I would have him back in a heartbeat over that shithead we have in the dugout now as well.

So glad I went to that Benfica away game, I had a feeling then it would be our last european away trip for at least a decade and that looks highly likely to be the case. Whatever anyone says about the king he is the only man to take us into Europe in the last 14 years.

Fantastic signing that he still looked class in the champions league final and Bayern barely had any big chances.

Imagine supporting a team signing good players and trying to win games man. We haven’t had that since about 2005

Absolutely no way Messi goes to Man U or Liverpool imo. Man City are the only ones in England I could see possibly getting him. 

Man City lining up Messi and Aguero and we running with Bruce with big joe and wor Andy ?? we not even playing the same sport

Big Andy and arma little and large playing bruceball all that geordie passion man 

Armstrong cannot play central striker in the PL like, doesn't have either the pace or physicality imo. Last thing we need is another striker that's not a striker ffs.

He won’t have too seen as we are seemingly planning for the champo

f*** me that would be something else. Geordies Assemble.

:lol:

How has Merino been getting on at Sociedad. The arrival of David Silva can’t do much for his chances of minutes?

 

I’m amazed that we are not tying to sign this lad. I have watched him at QPR quite a lot and he is a real talent - right up Mike’s street with the future sell on value. The lack of ambition at this club 

 

Who was the last player we signed like that?

Jenas?

I sort of wish he’d left earlier. I think Ronaldo edges it in terms of who is the GOAT as he’s done it across leagues instead of one entire club philosophy built around him.

 

I can’t see him choosing England with the pace of the league unless Pep could convince him? It’s going to be PSG isn’t it?

Inter Milan they reckon.
