I think it's a little naive to suggest that there will be too much money to not to need to sell players, all that will happen is that the player values and wages will spike, again. Instead of paying 15m for Perez in the current market, which I think we'd agree would be a relative snip, it may become commonplace for this sort of player to be sold for £50m instead.

Let's not forget the abortion of a pre-season we had. Absolutely unprofessional at all levels. Regardless of where we end up this season, someone needs to take responsibility for that, and Charnley and McClaren seem as culpable as each other for it (former more so, of course, as the word is it was his plan along with Carver's).

 

McLaren came out and openly complained about the pre-season arrangements. no real research or thought had gone into them. carver was mouthing off towards the end of last season how he was already making plans with charnley for preseason training and friendlies.

 

He didn't when I critised them on radio when I spoke to him. He defended them and said they were still useful for the whole squad.

Hope for his own sake that he gets a move as soon as possible. He's the real deal and can go all the way, but not here.

 

Aye, I hope one of our best players leaves as well.  Infact I hope all of our best players leave soon.

“He has forced his way into my team. When I first came, I didn’t know a lot about him. There were other players in a similar position who I knew a lot more about. Ayoze had limited opportunities in pre-season but he stuck at it, kept going and forced his way into things.”

 

That'll be why Obertan started the season instead then. :thup:

Jesus wept man.  Basically mcclaren came in fixed ideas for the squad.

So any NUFC fan with any sense who watched our games knew he was our best player and it took McClaren a few months to catch up.  Nice one.

You'd have thought he might at least have watched last seasons matches to guage what the players were up to. Given his level of cluelessness about Perez I can only assume he didn't bother his arse, which is a great start [emoji38]

I want him to make the right decisions, whether quick or not. His worst decision so far is sticking by Coloccini.

 

He's made far less poor decisions than either of his predecessors.

I would like to think when he got the job that he watched loads of our games from last season but obviously not

 

I thought the same. Quite pathetic to go by reputations instead of investigating from available footage. Surely even in training he runs rings round everyone else.

Has Schteve been on ket?!

 

“It’s taken Ayoze a while to get going this season but he’s certainly become an important player. I look at him, though, and he’s still got a long way to go. The potential is massive but there’s a lot to do. He’s got to do it consistently, every game, for 95 minutes. That’s what we’re asking.”

As long as he's starting him yeah sure egg him on to push himself to be better, don't want him to feel he's done enough and nothing to get better at. Personally I don't think it's his effort over the full 90 mins, it's more just getting more ruthless, not wasting all the trickery when he's too far away from goal for it to count, making sure he punishes the defense every time they lose him.
