Big Geordie Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Just been sent this by a Mag on another forum. Make it it what you will; " Hiya pal. Just been to the Preston game. Take this with a pinch of salt, but I've ended up heading to Poulton (near Blackpool) in my drunken state (away days ftw). Poulton is where Lee Charnley grew up and I've ended up drinking with his nephew after meeting up with my cousin who moves in his circles. Anyway. There is no more transfer activity at this moment in time as we are "good enough" to beat the drop. If things go wrong we "might spend in January" if we are in trouble. But at this moment in time there is going to be no more transfers. The spending will happen next season. Rafa has been told like it or lump it. I don't want to announce it in our club thread for fear of redicule. But I thought I would give you the heads up as you are pretty much spot on with the Rafa rumours. As things stand the "club" are more than happy with what we've got. " Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemtizz Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Nothing against you personally BG and it's certainly believable, but we're gonna have this shite in between every signing aren't we?

toon25 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 It's evident we're clearly short up front and in central midfield. Nee fucking way are we 'good enough' so as to be certain to beat the drop as it stands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Just reporting what I was sent. I replied that couldn't see Benitez standing for that (if it were true) even though, it would be typical Ashley behaviour for him to try and keep us up on a shoe-string budget.

afar Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Just reporting what I was sent. I replied that couldn't see Benitez standing for that (if it were true) even though, it would be typical Ashley behaviour for him to try and keep us up on a shoe-string budget. The biggest red flag you need that this is complete horseshit is not that Rafa wouldn't stand for it but the obvious logic that we've just sold one striker and loaned out another, we are left with 2 senior strikers at the club, one of which does not suit the style of play we play and the other is coming back off a season where he missed almost half through injury. We need at least one more striker. no way in hell Rafa would have sanctioned either the Murphy sale or the Armstrong loan had he not been given assurances a replacement would be purchased.

nufc4eva Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 If we didn't sign anymore players we would be relegated by January, Although they definitely are that stupid, I think we will get what we need this window and will sign a Striker, Keeper and Centre Mid. Would like a left back as well of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This place can't go a day without a signing happening until the next wild theory or ITK reason pops up why a new signing hasn't happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 If Rafa doesn't get his budget to advance this squad making it PL ready then I hope he walks. If he stays and puts up then it's a green light for Ashley to keep doing this. Would hate to watch Rafa trying to polish a turd all season in hope of staying up.

If Rafa caves in to Ashley under funding us and stays then we spend our time just battling relegation until Rafa fucks off. It's just delaying the inevitable meltdown for a season while making Ashley cash. None of us or Rafa should accept the club going tight this summer.
