Jesse Pinkman Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Ashley effectively cutting ties with Rangers and Graham Carr walking on the same day. I wonder if something is going on behind the scenes. Obviously Carr's caught wind of something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdm Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Glad he's gone to give Rafa full control. We did bring in some right flops under Carr but Ive got to believe these players were way down the list. Let's not forget players like Gameiro, Lacazette and Aubameyang were at the top of his list. Unfortunately Ashley always does things on the cheap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelveys Hair Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Transfers still have to go through Mike Ashley's right hand man.. I cant see us signing players unless they have resale value. That said Carr leaving could be the start of something different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Did some good, did some bad. Enjoy retirement, no hard feelings. This pretty much Agreed. Hopefully it's further good news in terms of Benitez taking full charge of operations. No need for a scout to have as much power as he did, another stupid 'I know better than anyone else' decision by Ashley on the back of a couple of successful money-making transfers.

geordiedean Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 About time, although I will always be grateful for Yohann Cabaye & arguably the most naturally gifted footballer Newcastle United ever had Hatem Ben Arfa (come home Hatem). absolute fucking nonsense Ben arfa was not that at all. didn't have anywhere near the talent of Tino,Ginola,Solano,Peter Beardsley, gazza or even Laurent Robert give your head a shake Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Can't wait for 27 incoming Chronicle articles. Rundown* on every single one of his signings. *One sentence, in which they fail to state whether it was good or bad. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-recruitment-under-graham-11100770 That's egg and my face firmly in alignment.

I'm with geordiedean on this one. "Talent" isn't just about technique. I don't get the Ben Arfa obsession. I loved seeing him play, as I've loved many players at this club. Good players come and go.

BlackandWhite Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I thought we got rid of this old cunt last year . Got a reputation for a few good signings in 2011, but let's be honest the vast majority of signings after that miracle season were absolute garbage.
