Lush Vlad Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 The level of negativity on this board has reached an embarrassing level to be honest and just completely wears you down, how do you lot cope reading this s**** every day? The same brigade were out in force when Shelvey was announced, one decent debut later and all of a sudden he's a decent addition? Seriously guys, while Townsend might not be Ben Arfa, he's a damn sight better than the other options we have in wide areas. I keep an eye out for the latest news on here but rarely post, half the board are f***ing bi polar. I thought quite a few were keen on Shelvey? I got the impression most on here were happy with the signing? I do find this forum a bit bi-polar at times. The relegation thread and views on how we've played are extremely up and down. But most forums I have visited are no different overall and it's Newcastle United FFS! The whole f***ing club is suffering from some sort of split personality disorder. So it's no surprise it's like that on here. The general consensus with Shelvey was 'meh', just like Townsend now. I totally get the annoyance and frustration and refusal to accept Ashley's ownership, we all know we won't win f*** all with this set up, so who on earth are we supposed to target!? Shelvey - meh Townsend - meh Gomis - not good enough Lacazette - he won't come here It's frigging mind numbing at times. Well TBF, I agree with 3 out of the 4 there. So I'm a doom monger and I'm negative. I've maybe got a bit more of an open mind on Townsend. Only because I'm a sucker for direct players with pace. I can't say I'm particularly optimistic that he'll do well for us, though. Maybe with a run of games he will. But it's not like we're in a position to get him up to speed and carry him.

Guest reefatoon Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I am going to give the lad a chance before I write him off or not. Let's see how it turns out first before we all burn him at the stake. Might join the negative nelly's after 10 mins of his debut like if he looks w***, until that moment, welcome aboard.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Townsend is a means to offloading one of our better midfielders. Think we'll try to ship De Jong too. Both Ashley and Levy have played a blinder Levy has sold a name for £12m. Ashley has bought a name to sell to fans ("English, PL experience etc"), got an extra body to justify a disposal of a more valuable asset (probably Sissoko/Gini in the summer), and potentially has a 24 year old English player for resale, bought at his monetary nadir. I really think you overestimate how much we do for PR reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that it seems like he's coming. I'm of that opinion. I just wanted to join in with the nonplussed gif responses! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Bailey Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Gomis isn't good enough tbh. Guys a f***ing plank, Sholaesque standard and one we managed to miraculously avoid (somehow) over the years. Lacazette isn't coming in a million years, why the f*** would he??? As for the two we have signed, I personally think they both improve the squad, and both are probable starting 11 certs... All this still doesn't address the immediate issues of we need a f***ing striker though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've literally just proved my point Gomis has scored a steady amount of goals in this division, why should we turn our noses up at him when our own strikers can't manage that? As for Lacazette, the same was said about Thauvin was it not? "He doesn't want to join, we're wasting our time with fake bids" etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Can't make up my mind about this - I always thought he looked promising when he first started playing for Spurs, but have to say I hadn't realised that he had fallen out of favour to quite the degree that he has. Think he's got some natural talent and seems relatively quick so don't think it's the worst move in the world. Would rather we'd got a striker in though.

Parsley Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Decent plan B off the bench and a different option to Perez out wide at the very least. Particularly if Thauvin is definitely out of the picture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Gomis never seems fit to me. Lumbering and methodical. Has a few goals in him mind. And the eyes of a serial killer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at fb forums now and on the basis of shelvey and Townsend people are piping up with the he's changed angle. It's fickle and depressing.

Re: Shelvey, I was cautiously optimistic when he signed and really liked what I saw of him against West Ham. Townsend, however, now this is just a very strange signing IMO.
