Interpolic Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Nice summary on TF Faceys, I know what he means as that line pissed me off when I read it as well: I've found myself feeling pretty content being a NUFC fan so far this season, it's been very different to the last 8 years. I didn't want McClaren to be the head coach but I quite like him, he comes across well and seems to genuinely appreciate the fans which has been missing for a long time. I got Charnleys email yesterday like many others did and there was one line that pissed me off to be honest, this one - 'The decisions we’ve made over the past few years have given us the financial strength to net spend significantly this summer' That's bullshit and wound me up, it reminded me why I sat in SJP for 50 minutes after the final home game last season, why I joined marches, boycotted and held up red cards. I looked at a few other clubs net transfer spend since 2007, when Ashley arrived, to the present day, compared to our own. Here's a few examples. (I stuck Steve's ex employers in) Swansea £24m Derby County £25m Newcastle £27m Crystal Palace £45m Leicester £48m Stoke £60m Arsenal £100m West ham £115m We haven't spent this season because of our genius previous decisions, it's because we didn't spend at all. This summer is a good start but it's just what we've been owed. The next 2 windows will show the real 'new ambition' the club has. We need to keep the core squad together and add to it, no more rebuilding jobs year after year. It's been a good start NUFC but I personally need to see more positives to really help shake off the past mistakes that still linger in my mind.

relámpago blanco Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Surprised people are so happy with her transfer work. Are we any closer top being the best of the rest? Nope. Didnt we have the second highest net spend in the league? Because nobody wants our players. And this is after 2/3 years of spending what we brought in. Where would you rank our squad with the rest of the league? I think if we made Perez, Janmaat and Sissoko available we'd get a few offers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRC Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I thought he played left back, my bad! Either way we need back up for Janmaat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Yeah aren't we looking exactly for Janmaat backup (and actually would boost us a little at the back, thought Janmaat did good in his brief stint at CB so would allow him to cover there in case of disaster). Would make sense imo, albeit I don't think Tiendalli is up to too much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Surprised people are so happy with her transfer work. Are we any closer top being the best of the rest? Nope. If your man Pardew hadn't f***ed up Mbiwa & Santon (before we even consider Ben Arfa), then the squad would be as strong as I've seen since 2004. January 2013 - January 2014 was the best Newcastle side on paper I've seen for a very long time like. If only we'd had a good manager. Weren't we 5th/6th January 1st 2014?
