Dave Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Season starts tomorrow, prices go up. Clubs don't want to sell their better players so late on (unless they don't give a fuck of course, like us) because it's harder to replace them for the exact same reason. Or they know we're desperate, so prices go up anyway. The only explanation is that we don't want to spend anything, or are completely clueless. Or both.

TRon Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 “Jose made it clear he wanted to move on and it was going to happen. “I am glad it has happened now. “If it had happened on the 28th or 29th of August it would have been harder. “In that respect we have no excuses not to replace him – and we will replace him.” Read More http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2011/08/12/pardew-steps-up-hunt-for-enrique-replacement-72703-29222323/#ixzz1UoiPQ31o Pardew's quotes on why we sold Jose now instead of waiting. If we'd played him tomorrow he wouldn't have given 100%. He could have got injured and then we'd be left with a demoralised and bitter player who would feel we'd wrecked his move. In reality it would have been a bad idea. We knew he was going and SHOULD have had a new leftback signed, making Liverpool & Jose wait would not have been an issue if we had done things right. Again this club did things arse forward. What if he had got injured or not played with any commitment? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think most clubs still need to work on a squad of 25 so will move players in or out based on that. £45m or not I think Stoke would work within those parameters. There might be clubs who don't, I don't know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be clubs who don't, I don't know. At the minute I think that we're currently sitting on a squad of about 21 players that we need to register. Barton is still very likely to move on and it wouldn't suprise me if Smith was shunted out on desperation transfer day to some suckers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest icemanblue Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Jose's move was agreed very early on in the summer. The delay was to ensure that we had time to buy a replacement. Liverpool, like any normal club, wanted him in before the start of the season. They put pressure on us to let him go now by threatening to pull out and concentrate on another target. We're left fucked for the start of the season. Another gamble that's paid off for Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not in charge' of Newcastle United, he's the first team manager. As most managers generally are these days. This is the thing. He's being hung out to dry by the twats up top. I can't say I feel sympathy for him, he knew the terms of the job. And he appears to be more than happy being their puppet, if he wasn't, he'd be out of the door along with KK and Hughton. But at the same time, I can't feel any anger towards him, as while Ashley and Llambias are in charge, we're not going to get any different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team in the country's in the same position though. Every season we moan about it, but every season it's the same. Transfers always tend to happen in the last few weeks of the window for most clubs. Even Man City are leaving it late to get Nasri and they have all the money in the world. The teams who have received huge transfer fees recently have reinvested the money quickly and well before the first game. Really doubt those teams will be playing a left winger/right back at left back tomorrow and praying their one good striker's dodgy knee holds up.
