Lush Vlad Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 When were 90% of people happy we didn't sign a centre back? http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,97593.0.html Obviously meant it a little tongue in cheek, but point is a centre back was a major issue since last summer, still is now and we missed a chance to do something about it in Jan. 88.1% were happy at how January went. OK doesn't equal happy. You're either happy with it or not. Being OK with it is being happy with it. That wasn't the question, though. The poll was about our transfer window. Not specifically about a centre back. I actually went for 'pretty good.' As I expected f*** all and we actually managed to sign some decent/reasonable players. However, I did state that we're still light at the back and it may cost us. I can't be arsed to read back through. But I'm sure at the time, most people were bemoaning the lack of defensive reinforcements. In an ideal world, we would have signed two more players. A proper centre back and a goalscorer. But considering I had very low standards going in, I was happy with it. Transfer window was pretty good to ok = 90% of people are happy we didn't sign a centre back. Oh and I'd also say in this instance, that 'ok', would be more a feeling of indifference and middle of the road. Not being overly happy about anything. But I suppose that ruins your 90% argument Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I suppose that ruins your 90% argument Being OK is endorsing, not being OK with it isn't. You're clutching at straws to say voting OK was being neither happy or unhappy with the window. It would need to say "undecided/indifferent" else. Don't take it too seriously after I said it was a tounge in cheek comment. It was provocative on purpose cause I think in general the majority of our fans have so such low expectations they lap up money being spent instead of realising we haven't done enough. The last two windows we desperately needed proven quality in defence and attack, we didn't go far enough and we are potentially going down as a result.

Coloccini was one. On Saturday we had a tactical training session. We were doing some movements I would like to do in the future so he came outside to see what we were doing and I was talking with him. He was really confident the team is good and will do well.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Yeah the pictures from Saturday's session had them side by side during the session. Looked like they were gelling.

sparkzter Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I sit in the northwest corner just below the box used by the tv companies. coloccini was sat in a box along from it out in the open - nowt exciting about that. However anyone know what was being berrated to him by some fans, ( we were one down) literary over the wall from him? he just sat there looking through them while they screamed at him. Was surreal. As spineless sitting on a chair as in the pitch it seems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it would surely be more spineless to move away than sitting there and taking it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 He should be back for our next game and I'd be tempted to give him an extra week to regain full fitness because I can't see us getting anything from Southampton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Kind of pathetic that we are desperate for him to be fit for the run in, but watching fistipumps getting turned inside out while shots fly past as Mbemba contemplates lighting a spliff is a jolting reality check. This is what we went into the season with for one of the most financially lucrative seasons of all time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
