STM Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 So good having a manger who isn't happy with a draw away to Preston, even if it is a friendly. He's trying to keep/get standards high. Brilliant IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppaz Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 From the article When asked if he expected any incoming deals soon, Benitez replied with a smile, and simply said: “Hopefully”. Mike made a 30 million free overdraft available to NUFC in January which was never used. Coupled with the transfer surplus from last summer we need Mr Charnley to get the players that dont have a future here out and move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElCid Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 People unnecessarily fear mongering again. Rafa's hopeful of more deals, but we have a large squad that needs people to move on before we can make further signings. The mattress protectors can stay in the cupboard for another day. Large squad that imho will be relegated again unless there is major improvement. Rafa certainly didn't seem too happy in that interview and he has every right not to be. Would not surprise me if penfold is trying to get sill money for players not wanted either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafa mentions Ashley and money nearly every opportunity, there is clearly something going on. It may be only July but we have yet to buy one player who is proven in the Premier League.

thenige Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Just seems like little has changed since our last spell in the Premier League in the way in which the club is run. Ashley looks at the league and the amounts of money being spent and simply thinks the level of investment needed to break into the Champions League is well beyond us. Qualifying for the Europa league isn't really worth the financial benefits. Anything else is relatively insignicant in terms of say finishing 7th or 17th. The only true financial reward is simply staying in the top flight, so spend the minimal amount in order to do this. We did it before and got stung, but even so I really feel he'll try it again to maximise his investment. As soon as this is proven beyond doubt, Rafa will follow Keegan's example and walk. Yes the above can be considered knee-jerk given the time left in the transfer window, but it just feels eerily similar to what we've seen before.
