r0cafella Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 We can be a stopgap for him. Have one good season and prove you can do it in a top league and then be sold to a bigger club. Everyone wins particularly if bigger clubs don't want to take the gamble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Most exciting bit of news we'll get is a breaking story 10 days before the league starts announcing McClaren has walked, citing disorganisation or some such as reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 To be fair to the club, the last manager to be appointed in the summer, Sam Allardyce, just splurged a load of money on players he wanted to buy for Bolton. Remember David Rozehnal? I would hope McClaren is studying our last few seasons trying to figure out what players we can bring in to make best use of the talents we already have.

BONTEMPI Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Pleased we're getting some decent coaches for once. I'd be more interested if they can turn around some of the shithouses we have on the books. At least that part is looking intriguing. Now fucking sign some players Charley you mug.

Astroblack Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I'm not panicing just yet. Last summer we signed the Ajax captain and Internationals in Cabella and Janmaat. The De Jong deal came out of nowhere and usually a lot of our deals do. Cabaye, Sissoko, Gouffran weren't reported much in the press and the bam we signed them. I feel that we'll sign some quality players. No need to go shopping in the Championship just yet. We're much better than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alexinho Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 That's one of the things that keep me, not optimistic, but not panicing eather.. The club doesn't talk to press, so IF something actually is on - they wouldn't say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 That's one of the things that keep me, not optimistic, but not panicing eather.. The club doesn't talk to press, so IF something actually is on - they wouldn't say. A very small part of me is predicting a string of announcements in early July to encourage a huge wave of ST sales. Monday - assistant manager, Tuesday - rest of the staff, Wednesday - this signing, Thursday - that signing, Friday - the sheep return. Probably unlikely but we are going to sign players at some point. Might as well milk it for all they can especially given the murmurs of poor sales.

Away Toon Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Unfortunately the list of players who have signed for NUFC recently and seen their International careers suffer drastically must be putting a lot of potential players off with the Euros coming up. Krul, Anita, Cabella, MYM, HBA, Cisse, Tiote, Colo, all used to regularly start for their countries, most of them don't even make the squads now. We are a graveyard for players with International aspirations, no wonder a lot of players are apparently thinking twice about joining us, or in the case of some of the above, want to leave or already have done so.

Away Toon Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Krul, Anita, Cabella, HBA and Mbiwa and were not starting regularly, at all. They might not have been starting regularly but they all looked like they were going places and were all highly rated in their own countries. Krul has not developed at all as a keeper, he's worse now than he was two or three years ago and his international career is suffering. Anita had 3 caps before he joined us none since. MYM was capped before he joined us and after he left, not during, no surprise there. HBA already had 8 caps before he joined us. Santon had 6 now he's probably off to Watford. Cabella now doesn't make the squad. What's happened to the above and to a lesser extent Cisse and Tiote who are no longer automatic starters for their countries is not necessarily the fault of the players but it's certainly the fault of idiots like Pardew and Carver. Cabaye and Debuchy certainly used us as a stepping stone and it worked for both of them, but more recently as things got worse at the club this is no longer happening. So if we are no longer a stepping stone to a big club, don't pay high wages compared with many of our immediate rivals, don't appear to have any ambition above making money, why would good players come to us? It appears many don't. I hope I'm wrong as the current squad we have will get us relegated next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Need Cabaye back to "sell" the club to those they want to sign. He was always cited as a major influence in persuading others to sign during that period. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
