sempuki Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Zzzzzzzzzzzz @milesstarforth: Understand there'll be a board meeting at Newcastle today to discuss the club's transfer options. #nufc Good to see theres no hurry at all. It's as if they are trying to piss us off. Kudos - it's working. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 The options are a) sign people and b) don't sign anyone. Incredibly those options are the same ones since the last two board meetings and no business has been done. Every day i become more grateful the club have learnt from their mistakes and have changed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I feel this is big big news, possibly even worthy of a thread title change. It's the day pre season training begins, the transfer window is now officially open and we have less than 6 weeks to go until our first Premier League game, and we are having a fucking board meeting to discuss our transfer options Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Will Mike let Penfold get the chocolate digestives out for this meeting or will they economise with rich tea? Probably the most important point on the agenda with the need to sign players under AOB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Whether Bas Dost was a realistic target or not, the dithering on our part has probably cost us that one. His club are now looking at what Liverpool paid for Firmino and think they should be able to get a lot more for their player. If they had just gone straight in for him, then they would probably have stood a better chance of getting him that they do now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres no reason to think they didnt want more money than we would offer well before it became public tbh. Was all guesswork that he could be available for £9m.

TRon Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 After all the talk it's turning out to be the dullest summer recruitment drive since Lee Bowyer on a free. Not even a hopeful target to get excited about. Mid July would be a great time to sign players, most of our top targets will be gone and we can then concentrate on the players nobody else wants.

Nobody Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I'm sure we hear that they want "at least one in before the pre-season tour" every fucking summer. It's the same "before the end of the week. Wait, early next week. Definitely before the end of the week this week. Actually might be next week. etc" bullshit they peddled when Ashley 'wanted' to sell the club.

Shambles NUFC > low profile Championship job. He has a record of quitting if things aren't right. If promises are already being broken he could walk. Let's face it - failure here could screw him, he'd come out looking good if he does a Keegan and declare the club hierarchy as liars and impossible to work with.

Shush Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Would be very Newcastle for McClaren to walk before the season starts. I'm hoping it does happen if we fail to invest. It could finally mean the fuse is lit for ridding Ashley, as the media he provokes through banning would have the perfect ammo to attack again. On flip side, Ashley would see that as chance for Cathro to take over on the cheap and prove himself with limited squad with survival the target. Then blame lack of season ticket uptake for lack of investment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
