Guest ElCid Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 All the people on here trying to stick up for Ashley give your heads a shake man will you. Has he resolved the issue with a guaranteed goalscorer to get the goals to win games no he has gambled again and has he resolved the issue of a defence that leaks goals for fun no he hasn't. He has has two windows this year and I would argue the last four years to resolve these issues and failed at every hurdle and that's why year after year the club is fighting relegation. If you can't score goals and you let goals in for fun then you don't win games as I keep saying it's not rocket science. What he does is get his bunch of muppets to look for bargains and gambles and end up spending millions upon millions on French dross. To enforce the absolute crazy transfer policy he continues to appoint some of the worst managers possible. Are you people just plain gullible? Aye there's f***ing loads of people here sticking up for Ashley Did I say there were fucking loads? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Who is sticking up for Ashley ? I've seen people stating that it's been a good window, Ashley is spending the cash so on and so on - have a look back here are a few there. It has been a good window. In terms of where we were on Jan 1st. This doesn't necessarily mean sticking up for Ashley though. It's reactionary and desperate scrambling to ensure survival on the back of gambling that hasn't paid off yet again. We shouldn't have to be the highest spenders on the market.

Hanshithispantz Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 iirc Hanz changed his avi to Ashley and proclaimed "where's the doom mongers at now!" and then backtracked I had a massive post typed out until the Berahinho deal fell through, I fired on everyone - devoted myself to The Ash.

Guest Gino14 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I think it's been a better window than any of us expected, but that's because we expect nothing. For it to actually be a good window, we'd have needed a proven premier league striker, a quality centre back and a competent left back. I'd even have wanted a goalkeeper to get a very good window. Elliot has done well since he's come in, but I'm not convinced the form will last till the end of the season. He's also injury prone and Darlow is either very green or just totally awful. If anything this window has exposed what a terrible team and squad we had before the previous two transfer windows. We've spent so much to get some good players and yet we still end up glaringly short of a decent squad or even a balanced solid looking defence. This is all the result of years and years of neglect and underspending. If we can stay up and have another 2-3 windows like the last few, we might actually have a good squad and team that has a balance to it. What's the chance of that actually happening? We've spent a lot in the past couple of windows, but it's after about six years of s*** ones, so it doesn't even come close to making up for it. That's why it really grates to see media praising Ashley for spending, when all he's doing is desperately scrambling at spending £80m to guarantee his future premier league tv pay cheques, that will soon cover that value with ease.

Dave Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Newcastle are still very much in a relegation fight as they travel to Everton tonight, but McClaren said of the spending: “Really it’s just the beginning, it’s not the end. It started in the summer, it’s continued. I think we said it would, and now we’re thinking yeah, most definitely, the balance of everything, the squad, is progressing. We wanted to take this club forward and that will only progress through investment.” ok Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozy Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Yeah. If we manage to stay up this year it will be interesting to see what goes on this summer. If they spend big again on the kind of players we actually need then I'll go some way to thinking they've changed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
