mrmojorisin75 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Twisting what? You and others think our squad is more than adequate for mid-table. You're fucking having a laugh mate, or you're on the bottle again. Yeah, I think with a good manager there's enough to be around mid table. And you're twisting shit because you only say "more than adequate" but not for what thus implying something people don't actually say or believe.

And you're twisting s*** because you only say "more than adequate" but not for what thus implying something people don't actually say or believe. Our central defence is a joke, we have little-to-no presence in midfield and we've got one striker with any physicality. Our squad isn't a midtable one.

Ronaldo Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Aye, of course it does. A crap defence, the plethora of issues in midfield and no proven strikers with the exception of an ailing Cisse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Highlighted as a "bad egg" on Sunday Supplement. BUt loads of shite about needing an "English heart" and bigged up Colback. So... you know. I saw that and it was JOhn Richardson who reckons there is more than one bad egg in the dressing room who want to be away. This is a management issue for me, you would expect a new manager to be able to gee up previously disillusioned players, but then McClaren didn't really rate him much before he came here. I think he's making a rod for his own back by making Colback the fulcrum of the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 It is imbalanced but has enough talent to be midtable with good manager What do you think is actually midtable about our squad? A midtable team has a solid spine, we don't. I'd say our natural position with this team is about 15th. Until we buy a proper defender, a combative central midfielder and a competent striker (as back up to Mitrovic, at the very least), that's how it'll remain.

The College Dropout Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I don't think so (as talented enough to make up for an imbalanced side). Who do we **know** has top talent in the squad and can deliver regularly enough? Janmaat. Sissoko. Krul. That's it for me. GK. RB. RW. That's not enough. You need it down the spine.

We needed to get in a big solid centre back, a proper replacement for Tiote (not the diddy men) and a proven goal scorer target man. It's a lot to pin your hopes on an unproven 20 year old Serb.

Turnbull2000 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Anyone see Sunday supplement? John Richardson of the Express named Tiote as one of a few bad apples poisoning squad.

The whole panel was also unanimous is saying foreigners don't like the North East I saw it, but the bit about foreigners not liking the north east is bullshit. When we used to be a CL club and also in Keegan's first stint, they were queueing up to come here. Can't really blame foreigners for not caring when the owner doesn't.

Guest chopey Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I hate this bullshit about the north east been like some sort of hillbilly back water in the middle of nowhere, I flew to London last week in 55 mins, England is smaller than most American states and the lazy jornos still blame our location and demanding fans as the reason we are shit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Interesting comments about him on Supplement. Of course, the North East shite is bollocks, but I can imagine the stuff about him not wanting to play may well be true. Probably got a deal close for January and is desperate to not get injured again. I think we've brought some good characters into the club, over the Summer, and the quicker they put their stamp on the dressing room, the better.

The whole panel was also unanimous is saying foreigners don't like the North East I believe something like this can be true. I have seen teams play shit before, but nothing like the shit that has been served since the league started. Why this has not been taken care of before is beyond me. But at least they can have them play in the reserves, and fine them for unprofessional behaviour until they fuck off in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 the problem is their wages. we'd be hard pushed getting rid on free transfers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maze Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I don't know what their wages are like, so I can't comment on that. However if there is unrest/dispute/poisoned mood amongst the likes of Tiote, Cisse and Sissoko, and I believe it is, it just adds to the other things that are discussed in numerous threads here. This could probably been avoided had this cancerous club been operated differently. I mean, if you setup a club to run on profit like Mike Ashley does, and in the process make sure to p*ss of the fans and continuously and repeatedly make the same disastrous decisions, then you are bound to fail and crash hard. I bet they have sold the "stepping stone"-argument to every f***er (apart from Colback and Williamson ) on the pitch. The strategy is clear: buy young players to make a profit on sales later. When said players are not being sold fast enough after making an exellent/good/decent impact they eventually get p*ssed. Tiote, Cisse and Sissoko should have been sold a long time ago. After all, all we care about is cash and maximize profit.... Basically, Newcastle needs to shift players faster to defend the "stepping stone"-argument. Under the current setup, players only come here to move to bigger clubs. Newcastle are in no way trying to be competitive. It's a sad, sad situation. The current group of players is unbalanced and in no way setup to play together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 What I don't understand is the thought process behind our squad building policy. If Tiote has been a problem player, then why let Abeid go for peanuts when he's the only other player who has the athleticism to press the ball from the holding DM position on his own? If Cisse is another problem player, then why go into a season with a 20 year old unproven Serb as the only alternative? Not saying this to slag off Mitrovic, but it's a massive leap of faith to expect him to hit the ground running. Then we offer Coloccini an extension to his contract when we really needed to be buying a big stopper to cope with the more direct and physical teams like Watford.

Yorkie Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Our squad development isn't designed on a plan of footballing improvement. The radical decline in quality over two years is the only evidence you need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
