Dokko Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I think people really need to lower their expectations, even Gardner is a big ask from this club atm. What a load of shit. You're a tabloid newspaper's dream. I've given up on this boards ability to bring in anything that resembles a forward step in a player, i can possibly see them bringing in some same level clowns but that's about it. Not getting Gardner is an over exaggeration because i think that's the only calibre of player were going to be able to bring in this summer. Jesus wept Were Beye, Enrique and Faye not forward steps to what we already had in defence? I suppose they have had nearly a whole year though, lets all give up now Yes they were, credit where credit is due, but lets not wait till the last day of the window to bring in key players and get them settling in when the season is underway.

Dokko Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 The wage bill is over-inflated and hardly anyone has made any signings yet. Chelsea and Spursx2 isn't it? Wow, we're sure missing out. I agree with cutting the wage bill, it needs it, get rid of 90% of the team and start again, but it won't happen, and we'll just end up with more crap by the time the window closes and the wage bill difference will be minimal.

So you're admitting you're slating the club for something that's not even happened yet? Come on man, give them a chance. If we're in the same situation in August you won't be alone in voicing your displeasure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakie Doke Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I think we should try to sign Joao Moutinho, even though we'd probably be wasting our time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 We have only had 2 windows under this new board. One where they were completely new to the whole thing and one where there was a change of management half way through. I don't think we are at the "it happens every window" stage just yet unless the old board are secretly in charge of the transfers (thats not a dig out the old board, wooooaaah there!)

Dokko Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 At you? Did you even read that final sentence? Every fan of Newcastle knows we need players, it's not just you. Board seem to think we don't, it seems to think we need to sell more than we need to buy. I really hope my impatience looks foolish by the end of the window, but chances are i'll have been right to be worried from the off, the signs aren't good, and they certainly aren't getting any better. Long, tough, disappointing summer ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Its June 8th. We have already bid what would have been a club record. I don't see why anyone would be so worried yet. As Dave said, August and still nothing and then we should start to get worried. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board could be close to a few new players, they might not. The truth is you simply don't know. So how can you criticise them, unless you know what they are trying and planning?

As Dave said, August and still nothing and then we should start to get worried. August? You think the club needs to be bringing in players then? Excellent, miss pre-season, vital training sessions and player get togethers as we sit and wonder why our new signing(s) hasn't set the world alight and everyone is calling him shit after 5 games.

I have no faith in the club, only love. Faith left a long time ago. If i thought they were trying i'd be happy, i just feel in all honesty the power struggle is real and is hampering our ability to sign players and if so its not going to resolve until someone is sacked. I could be wrong, i really could and hope i am, but then i could be right, its my opinion as that's what this club is best at, to disappoint and never take advantage of a good thing.

I vaguely remember us being linked with him a year a go but his value will probably have rocketed since then Still, I'd love to see us try for him.
