Zero Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 In the 2006 summer we also hope that we could sign 3 players before the end of the transfer window. In the end we did sign 3 --- all useless though. Transfer completed in a rush rarely brings good tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Liam Liam O Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I bet NE5 really hopes we don't sign anyone else so he can come on here and tell us he was proved 'right'. Would be the highlight of his Summer. That's it in a nutshell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had 4 in 5 years at one point, so it's your turn to go 80 something years without winning one. Ok, so that's only one team, but yeah, whatever.

olliemort Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 if we dont get at least 3 players in we should never have let Milner go no matter what the price was Ah no for £12 million pounds they were dead right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Just check the record, should be 2 - Rossi and Sib. I won't classify Sib as a "hit" though, not the type of transfer we expect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

indi Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 What is it that people don't understand about the simple concept of buying and selling that makes them think that one can be done without the other!?! You can't just sell players if nobody wants to buy them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdm Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 by the way im one of the optimistic ones. I reckon we will get 2/3 players in. Just dont think we should have sold Milner if there was nothing concrete in place in way of replacement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I bet NE5 really hopes we don't sign anyone else so he can come on here and tell us he was proved 'right'. Would be the highlight of his Summer. That's it in a nutshell. No it isn't, pretty fucking far off even. He's said countless times he would be very disappointed if there were no new signings of the required quality. He wants the best for the club he supports, as we all do. He just expresses his concerns whereas others are willing to have blind faith in Keegan's magic and Ashley's intentions for us to challenge the top 4. I respect both stances, but the realistic part in me says that we have so far failed to strengthen to the extend that we needed to and I seriously doubt that they will be able to complete the transfers on the very last day of the transfer window where they have apparently failed to do so in a number of cases up until this point.

Perhaps some people just need to accept that challenging the top 4 was not an option for this season. Didn't Keegan himself say the ambition for this year was to finish 4th-8th? Ashley in his sparse interviews has also set the target to be competing for European football iirc and challenging the top 4 in the long run. Do you think that is a realistic prospect with our current squad, because I think we will be lucky to finish in the top half. And for us to want to challenge the big boys in the coming years, you would imagine we would be showing signs of moving in the right direction.

Me and my dad were talking to him outside the bar yesterday, he said those words 'dont expect a gutierrez or coloccini type of player, theres none out there in the market' believe what the fuck you want, im not lying.
