TRon Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 The main thing is that the Club is in control and we are signing players who are right for this Club and for our Championship campaign. It cannot be the other way around. We are only interested in bringing players to Newcastle who want to work hard for the Club and the team; not players who want to be at another club maybe next year or the year after. We are not a stepping stone, we are Newcastle United. This quote has made me realise we need a 'not worthy'prostration smiley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 "Are we still favouring European markets for transfers? For me, it doesn't matter where the player comes from, as long as he has the right mentality, character and the quality we need. Sometimes it is true that there is better value in other countries in Europe but we look at players from every league, it does not matter the country. We had a meeting with the scouting department at the start of the season to clarify the way to work and we constantly share information about players to be sure we can find what we need it doesn't matter where they are from." absolutely bang on, suppose it helps when your manager isn't total shite as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Changed my mind about Townsend, seems he's more of a thick cunt rather than a shan cunt. He doesn't have any attachment to Newcastle he just wants regular games in the PL. Nothing to be annoyed about really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Aye that's what I mean, I don't think he's done much wrong and it sounds like he was fully committed, but signing for Palace was borderline retarded. Anyway this is the best part of the interview for me (along with that transfer bit mojo posted): Absolutely, we have to have strength in depth. We have two games a week, every few days there is a game and we know from experience and also from research that if players are playing as many games as this they will pick up injuries. The research proves that it is inevitable. So, we have to do a few things. We have to rotate the squad. I have done this before at other clubs I have been at and it helps a lot to reduce the number of injuries because you can rest players and make sure they properly recover between games. Also you have to have depth to the squad in every position to make a rotation system possible but also to give us cover when injuries do happen. Finally, we have to have the proper medical and rehabilitation processes in place to get players back from injury safely - always - but as quickly as we can. That is why we made some changes to our medical team and our facilities this summer and I'm really pleased with the job they are already doing, it is all important.
