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.

hakka 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...

merlin Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Would be very Newcastle for McClaren to walk before the season starts. It would be a real smack in the eye for Ashley/Charnley, but hardly a chance of it happening - McCLaren needs a bit of time to get some more dosh into his bank although if anyone half decent offered him a management position, he MIGHT just do it....likely to have been stitched up tighter than a sailor's burial suit in his contract though because Ashley won't want a repeat of the KK walk-out and there will be clauses about Breach of Contract etc. Now if another club was prepared to pay Ashley compensation......

Guest reefatoon Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 That's it, let's have a board meeting today and pull out our newest board member, who also happens to be our new Head Coach, Steve McClaren, from his first training session with the players, so they can all sit around and talk utter shit. Unbelievable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakka Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I'm telling you now, he is waiting for the euro to drop once the Greeks vote no. Why isn't other clubs doing this? How much could it realistically save us? Surely the Euro won't plummet by more than 5%? Seems a big risk to gamble on for what could only yield a small saving. Don't the Greeks owe us too? Wouldn't the pound suffer a tiny bit as well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
