PineBarrens Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 People have lost their nerve. The end is upon us! I won't lie, a small part of me wants you to lose to see the reactions on here. I reckon at least 1 person will claim "this is the end of my time supporting this club!!!" Never mind that, what do you make of the blue union nonsense?

High Five o Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Fucking hell! I can't believe the pessimism here. To be fair I think that the players we've recruited this window are actually pretty good, regardless of how much we paid for them. Ba, Obertan, Marveaux and Cabaye all seem to be players who will add a lot to the team. Maybe I'm being overly optimistic but I think even with the current team we will do way better than last season. Obviously another striker, an lb and a rb would round out the squad quite nicely and I think there is still a good chance we will fill at least 2 of those positions with quality players. Obviously a lot of people have a problem with the amount we've spent but as someone said earlier if we do well this season we'll have a better chance of signing higher calibre players than if we were to blow most of the transfer kitty now. Agree, but the problem is that we have sunderland away next match, no LB. We knew from early this summer that Enrique would go, so its no excuse to play the match with Raylor at LB. But we have a new reserve keeper, good they got that one over the line before the match Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Yep, obviously we absolutely must sign a LB, if we don't that will be indefensible. Think we will get someone though, we have to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Yep, the absolute worst case scenario come September 1st has to be that we've only signed a left-back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottledDog Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 “At the moment you have Shola Ameobi Leon Best, Peter Lovenkrands, Nile Ranger and Demba Ba, so maybe one has to move on before somebody comes in?” http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2011/08/18/shearer-says-wear-tyne-clash-finely-poised-72703-29256895/ There you go, Shearer understands the boards problem. Until we sell some of them on, it's just not viable to bring in a striker when we're already overflowing with riches in that department. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's truly frightening for our own Chairman to seemingly know fuck all about how the Club is being ran and how to sell the Club. But as I say, I'll leave this for the other thread.

Dinho lad Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Spot on colin. This idea that posters like Nut and Ian, and others who defend the way the club is being run, are 'optimists' I find thoroughly bizarre. Their attitude that we're never going to be better than we are so we should just accept it is completely at the other end of the scale from optimism. It's defeatism. Erm, that's not my attitude. you deny that we sell our best players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Dont think i've ever felt this low and worried, even in the relegation season it never felt this bad. New seasons have always been about hope and i've always look forward to them, but despite my usual cheerful outlook i'm feeling helpless this time.

Well Alan, you know, have you considered that it may have been more sensible to, you know, make sure you have a replacement in place for the left back position before, you know, releasing the only recognised player in that position at the club. No? You're just a poor little sex pest bullied by your employers you say? I feel, Alan, I feel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
