xLiaaamx Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I thought it had been a while since the press tried to claim he's off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Not long ago Rafa said something along the lines of "We have enough to do what we need to do" or similar. Surely he doesn't think what we've done so far is enough, so there's a chance he's raging like a bull Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/rafa-benitez-set-newcastle-showdown-10937564 Rafa Benitez is heading for a fresh showdown with Newcastle owner Mike Ashley over the latest transfer impasse. The Spanish coach is furious Newcastle have failed to land Stoke striker Joselu after a £12million bid was turned down. The Newcastle boss is desperate to land a striker before they return to the Premier League at home to Spurs next weekend. Benitez is also frustrated that Ashley and chief executive Lee Charnley are refusing to enter the race for former winger Andros Townsend. Not sure whether it's more tedious it's true or more tedious if it's not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 All of our wingers have had great Pre-seasons as well. Why buy Atsu and Murphy if you then want Townsend too? Unless your binning Aarons or Ritchie? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 It's just lazy. "Townsend free to leave Palace, after they turn down £10m." He's not exactly free to leave if they're turning down £10m then are they? Only part of this that can hold any weight is the fact the Express & Mirror both get a smiliar story at around the same time. Could be Rafa's people leaking stuff to press again (which is a fucking joke that he has to do this to get people above him to do stuff) but other than that, I'm just dismissing it.

BeloEmre Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 We got a couple of players quick after the last time stories like this emerged, so let's hope for the same again :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I could maybe believe it if some of the details made sense. But 12 miilion for Joselu being turned down? Still wanting Townsend? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 May as well fold the club if we've genuinely bid 12m for Joselu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFCDoog Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Not being funny like but the papers haven't been that wrong this summer tbh, most of the stuff they have said r.e Rafa has been all but confirmed by people in the know and the man himself.

NUFCDoog Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 These new reports don't say he's quitting either like? Just that he's "raging" - over the top maybe but I doubt it's far from the truth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFCDoog Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Exactly, I know it's cliche to fuck, and they do print some shite like, but there is no smoke without fire when it comes to NUFC. I know we don't want to believe it and instead insist that everything is fine etc, but these reports all summer are not normal, something is not right. Rafa himself has said he's comitted yes, but he's said himself he was frustrated at the start of the window - then he spoke to Charnley - if things are staring to slow again, contrary to them talks - then its very conceivable that them frustrations will be back. Its a matter of time before this explodes, I'm sorry but anyone thinking otherwise is kidding themselves and it'll just hurt even more when it eventually happens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Worrying but that Townsend thing just seems a throwaway line unless Ritchie is off. We've got 4 wingers now pretty much standard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
