NE5 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 It's like NE5 shows up here only to say 'I told you so' when the funny thing is that there's still time for everything to change. which of course, shows your theory to be bollocks What did you think of our performance against Man Utd? What do you think of our signings so far (the cheap and expensive ones)? Do you think KK is lying through his teeth when he says that the decision to sell Milner was his? Do you believe Ashley when he says that KK's got full control of who goes/stays in the first team? Honestly, you just seem to pop up in negative threads or turn threads into negative ones. What were you saying a couple of weeks ago about Ashley wearing Coloccini's shirt when the signing hadn't been confirmed? What was that, I didn't hear you? Oh yes, he did sign. And what about the Gutierrez hold up that you and UV were complaining about? Oh, that turned out to be quite a big deal, didn't it? All excellent points, that will undoubtabley be ignored, twisted and turned into questions. I admire your courage but he's a lost cause. I've commented on these things. Surely as you seem to spend all your life on here you can't have missed them ? It was anticipated that despite saying all summer, and for months previously, that people would judge "at the end of the window" that excuses would be made for a distinctly understrength squad of players that will have to get us through until January, at least. Funny about you talking about lost causes, when you have your own head in the sand and only see what you want to believe. As stated earlier, I hope somebody gets their act together at this club and no, if on Tuesday I'm not happy I'll say this but certainly won't be saying "I told you so" or be happy about it. Such talk does you no credit, it just makes me wonder how old you are. BTW, Keegan knows what he wants alright, and despite what he says, he really would like it now, despite what he says in the press. You're not gullible enough to think he would come straight out and say this do you ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

greydos Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 All the 'New Board Brown-nosers' have been banging the 'we've still got time...i'm confident we'll bring in the players...blah blah blah' all summer. We now get to a day and a half left (after they told us it's taking this long cause deals take months) and we're still told we've got time (but deals take months don't they?!) Remind me of that story (fictitious) where the King sat on the shore thinking he could push the tide back. The waves came in and rose and rose, and his advisors told him to get up and leave as he couldn't do it. He thought he ''still had time'' too. Silly F***** drowned tho!

I know it's early to judge, but I think Jonas, Colo and Guthrie and good signings and Bassong looks assured. Most of what we let go was absolute dross, we're better off without most of them. Even Milner, who was decent, was a fantastic deal if the money being talked about is right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnypd Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I still think it's interesting to look at the transfers made in the first few years of Robson's tenure. But of course, the last board had far more ambition than this lot, so that's us told. Robson's spend increased (or more specifically it was when he went out and got us Robert and Bellamy) as the stadium expansion gave us a cash windfall. we've just had a cash windfall in the last season with tv money increasing by £18m. combine that with us not having spent anything in net terms since 2006, add on this season's extra £18m too and we should have shedloads (that's before you even factor in something like having a billionaire owner). also worth noting that our turnover since then has doubled (£54.m in 2001 and likely to be around £110m for 2008) and that transfer fee inflation has occured (with total spending in the transfer window around doubled) so if you want to compare 2001 transfer spending to current day spending, it might be wise to double the 2001 figures.

Is it not 3 first team players and one squad player or do you rate Butt higher than Guthrie I would say Emre and Milner were more viable options in midfield than Butt, as was Faye as well arguably.. Guthrie looks promising, but if we are depending on him to be our best central midfielder God help us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
olliemort Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I have being plesantly suprised with Guthrie so far.Hes gone to Emriates and Old Trafford and put in 2 good shifts,I am more than happy for him to be in our starting eleven thus far.I think though against weaker sides like he was against Bolton he may struggle,he doesnt seem to have a killer pass to open up a defence.But if we get a creative midfielder beside him I think he will be an excellent player for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Bit confused about Milner vs Guthrie in the press and amongst some fans. So Guthrie, a young English player with a lot of potential, bought for a pittance, shouldn't be playing for us - but Milner, a young English player with some potential (yet had proved he has little effect on the game), sold for an absolute fortune, should have been kept and played in the first team? I don't understand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnypd Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 i expect us to have signed someone by tonight tbh, even this lot arent bad enough to do the majority of their transfer work on the very last day (a special extension to the window at that!) what we need - A first choice striker to play along Owen or Martins or both. preferably someone with good movement who can lead the line & play with their back to goal to link with other strikers, wingers, midfield. Two creative players. We've gradually eroded the creative impetus of our side in recent years, losing Dyer, Solano, Milner, Emre, seeing N'Zogbia stall and regress as a player, and with some others like Duff being finished. I'd like to see us buy a winger and an attacking midfielder. one of them should be a big signing for the first-team, in one of those positions depending on which formation we play, and the other an impact player who increases our options and depth. Replacement for Butt. He looks past it as a defensive midfielder. even when he played with Geremi last season, it was the cameroonian who did the majority of the defensive duties. His passing is also increasingly erratic and i don't think he complements Guthrie very well, they are both quite slight and neither have the greatest movement or energy. Let's break the bank for someone we can build our midfield around for a few years. Centre-half. Faye was our best defender before Coloccini came in and i don't think Taylor is up to much, while I don't see Cacapa being the right partner for Coloccini. Selling Faye and not bringing in a replacement seems like madness to me, as he's just the sort of partner Coloccini needs as he is aggresive & strong in the air. oh well. Cover for full-backs. not so much a pressing concern though it seems like Keegan simply doesn't rate Enrique so you can expect this position to be another first-teamer. so with a day and a half left, it's not too much to ask is it?
