AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 “You need to adjust the team. “Then hopefully we can bring some players and add to what we are looking for.” This is important, a big reason we havent made the signings we want yet is that we havent been able to get rid of the deadwood as of yet Why do we need to get rid of deadwood first? If the money's there we should spend it. Then if someone wants to buy our deadwood we can shift them as and when. TBF I think that's just how football clubs work by default. We won't just stockpile players we don't have a squad number for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlies Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Could the quotes be to put pressure on thumb heed from MA ? I'm clinging here. Edit just seen Rafa on sky he still seems pretty confident he'll get what he needs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 They aren't going to spend 50/60m on 2/3 PL ready players to make the first team competitive. End of story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it there's a budget of £70m supposedly, what difference does it make if we spend it on 2/3 players or 7? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might just be a practical issue of limited squad space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlies Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Is there footage of the interview ? As that line in the title is the one being seized upon, was he smiling or frowning when he said those words ? Neither really, he mentions Jan and the 30mil profit & they tried to go early (this summer) but sometimes you have to wait. He knows the numbers and what resources they have and still remains confident. It was on sky sports. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems that (pretty much as normal) one small bit of the interview is seized upon. Had he had a real serious/frowning look when he said it, it would carry a lot more weight than had he said it lightly or with a smile. Ahh the joys of close season analysis......

piggelbet Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Its sad how some people see Mike Ashley as Newcastle United. Its ours, not his. Who does that? Also, it actually is his. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
