Stuy_O Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Ashley has absolutely no intention of spending. If they really wanted Remy/Bent/Gomis/Gignac one of them would of been here by now. I'm no expert in these matters but it really can't take that long to contact a club and make them an offer, wether or not JFK was on fucking holiday is totally irrelevant. I doubt we've bid for a single player yet. Kinnear's director of football job title is just something to make him look official, when actually everyone know's he is here to smoke Pardew out, however long it takes.

BeloEmre Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Probably Giggs, but i just saw that Graeme Bailey said that we are keen on a striker in Eastern Europe. That must be Brown Ideye? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are interested in maybe 1 striker but you have to question the dragging of heels when everyone of them is available for transfer and it's been known for a relatively long amount of time. No doubt it'll be because we need to save 20p by using 2nd class stamps or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuy_O Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Aye, all available yet we'll wait till the very end to get 'the best possible deal' and if it doesn't come off well then the club saves money anyway. So frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 In recent times, which newcastle transfer window would you say was the most frustrating? The one when we only got Bowyer on a free or this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 This one. Then last summer. Then the Sir Bob one where we got like Bowyer on a free instead of kicking on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Anita one was a missed opportunity as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuy_O Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 This one and last years without doubt. That Bowyer one was bad but we were relying on Champ League qualification imo. If we'd gone through to the group stages we'd have seen more players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Summer before relegation was pretty terrible, up there with these past two. Nah, Keegan was here and he had brought in Colo, Jonas and Bassong.Nowhere near the Bowyer summer or last summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Keegan had nowt to do with recruitment that summer. It was a horrible summer given how badly we needed players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 That summer wasn't that bad tbh and i was quite positive about it before Keegan left. It was all the ridiculous decisions that were made after that that was awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I just wish they would do something. JFK is a joke, spent a few weeks of his job out of the area speaking to staff members on the phone, went on holiday, and has been back for a week and a half now and done nothing to bring anyone in.

Interpolic Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 It wasn't too bad until we sold Milner and replaced him with 2 shit nobodies. Still needed more players. People are forgetting Guthrie btw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being so positive after the draw at Old Trafford and then winning at the Ricoh despite playing most of the game with no forward, and Milner being far and away the best player on the pitch. 2 days later Milner had gone and a week later KK had followed.

Guest Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 06/07 was bad like. Spent all summer 'scouting' Kuyt to replace Shearer, then also needed to replace Owen, signed Duff for the hell of it, nearly pissed off Martins' agent when Roeder said we were checking the age thing, signing Rossi on loan and never using him, getting lucky with Sibierski....Srnicek & Bernard returning...trying to push Milner out so we could afford Viduka on deadline day, even sending him down to Birmingham only to call it off, then spending the January chasing Piquionne & Babel to end up with only Onyewu on loan. Horrible season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrible season. Aye, I fucking hated that one. Have grown increasingly apathetic with every transfer window ever since. I think this summer is the least I've ever cared because, really, it won't make a great deal of difference who we sign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this summer is the least I've ever cared because, really, it won't make a great deal of difference who we sign. I think that's spot on. Genuinely apathetic about the start of the season here, been enjoying the cricket and just trying to avoid all the summer transfer nonsense. Think the only way to cope might be to start treating NUFC's season like a series of Dream Team - tune in to watch it once a week, enjoy the drama then forget about it until the next episode.
