Be honest - are you worried?

[Guest mobiius]

not worried in the slightest. I never believe any of the scare mongering red top bollocks anyway. My only surprise is that we havent been front page for a while with some gutter shite. That reminds me does anyone know how the Sun's "Ban Joey Barton For Life Campaign" is going.

[stozo]

Slightly worried about all of the above but hopeful it will all sort itself out in the end.

 

Just want some good signings and to have a good season next year.

[fredbob]

Thing is with a set up like this - even without the rumours i'd still be worried because i think it'd only take one spark for it to go wrong. The more we lean to conflict the more precarious the situation is.

 

 

[colinmk]

Not really worried but every so often I get a strange feeling that something will go wrong. No wonder with everything that's gone on in the past few years and the bad press though. So I reckon it will be sound in the end.

[Guest Stephen927]

I'm worried about the Owen situation and the possibility of us getting shafted next summer.

 

The club as a whole, I'm not worried at all. I feel quite positive about the clubs future, especially with the acquisition of so many youth players with fantastic potential.

 

I don't think we'll be able to necessarily get all of our targets if the top four or five are interested in them too. But I think we'll be able to get our hands on some good players who are an improvement on the current first 11.

 

I just want to see steady building. If we can challenge for a UEFA Cup place next season, then I'd be absolutely delighted, but I think it's more realistic to lay the foundations next season, ie top ten, then be in a position to push on for top 6.

I'm slightly worried about our transfer policy and whether or not we'll have the funds to be competitive in getting key players. Only slightly, though.

[Cajun]

We outbid Spurs for Modric didn't we?

 

As I seem to say every transfer window, maybe we should wait until the window has closed (or even opened could be an idea) before we start to panic.

How can you judge our transfer policy until we actually sign players and the window is closed?

 

It'll be a bit late to worry about it when the window is closed tbf.

[Liam Liam Liam O]

Have you voted Baggio? (out of interest)

And a bit early before it opens.

[Cajun]

Just viewed the votes, fucking hell

 

27 people "Worried about everything, it's all going to pot"

[Baggio]

Have you voted Baggio? (out of interest)

 

Yes.

[Liam Liam Liam O]

Have you voted Baggio? (out of interest)

 

Yes.

 

I'm guessing,

 

"Not worried one bit, it's all a load of bollocks"

[Guest Vigge]

Being worried about this stuff in may is like being worried about getting struck by lightning ffs.

[binnsy]

i know, i'm not suprised the papers print so much crap when they know it sends everyone into a state of panic!!!

[Lazy]

Slightly worried now, please recreat the thread after the transfer window closes.

[lovejoy]

if we hadn't offered a big package (fee and wages) for modric i'd be concerned, the press seem to forget this when they are cliaming we won't spend, kk only has a £20m kitty etc etc

Smokescreen, season ticket seller etc...

[Parky]

We have to bear in mind a lot of people want to see KK fail. Sad fuckers that they are and mainly from the media. This combined with MA's enemies in the City means our media footprint will continue to be mixed to put it politely. The media and certain elements of the football freternity like to have things in nice neat packages, they can re-sell to the public, KK coming back and taking center stage with his romantic and imo mostly correct observations has thrown the cat amongst the pidgeons.

 

Stay as you are Keegler.

Is the concern that a big package won't be offered, there's only a £20m transfer pot or KK/DW/JV won't be able to agree on targets to sign?  I don't see the first two to be an issue at all tbh.

[Guest]

My worry is that in KK's first spell in charge, people are saying he'd sit players down and ask why they should play for Newcastle. Now though, he has to do more of the convincing, because a player can do the same as Woodgate & Modric and simply say, "Fine, I'll go elsewhere".

[buzza]

I'm not worried at all. If we think about it we can't seriously get any worse!

We have made progress this year in the restructuring and a sensible business model to ensure that we do not risk going bust, a few signings and some astute signing of youngsters should set us in good stead for the future.

I don't expect us to get near the top four next year or the year after, in fact I will be happy with 6th, 7th or 8th for next season and the se4ason after going for the uefa.

All positive here.

this is mint, whole thing reminds me of when keegan was appointed and broadly speaking there was a camp saying "hold on a minute, what about the fact he's been out of football for 3 years etc..." and the other camp saying "king kev won't let us doon man, shut up and you'll see, nowt to worry aboot"

 

when we went into the 9 game run without a win a few people must have been wavering, and i'll bet we get the same again this summer unless some transfers are concluded quickly

 

i personally questioned when keegan was appointed for a number of reasons and i'm doing the same now - it's all hearsay and hyperbole but i honestly think there must be something going at the club, NOT because we've not signed 6 players in may but because it seems to me the clubs new very public policy of aiming for up and comers only doesn't seem to sit well with keegans established PL players chelp

 

people here seem to think it'll work itself out, i'm not so sure - there's no win for either side (if you see it that way) if they cede to the other...keegans a manager and he'll sit back until he gets the players he WANTS, wise etc... will want to show what they're about, if they just let keegan sign campbell/henry or whoever he's targetted then where does it leave them?

 

in an egoless world this wouldn't be an issue, but that's not where we live is it?

[buzza]

What they have to do is compromise, meet in the middle... Keegan gets a couple of prem experienced players and wise and company bring in a few youngsters.

Where's that application form? Just call me Mr Mort from now!!
