Newcastle United transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

You've just said that the problem was that he was being used as a attacker and couldn't do the job.

Yes but I didn't say that was the reason why he wasn't one of the main problems. The reason why he wasn't one of the main problems was because there were much larger problems than him. Let's take the stick that is used to beat him most for example, his poor goals and assists ratio. Let's say us last season was comparable to Swansea, Hull and Burnley this season. How many wingers in those teams have been directly involved in 8 goals this season? Snodgrass is the only one out of those 3 teams to have more and no wingers in any of the other teams are close to that figure

 

So you're saying that Sissoko was let down by the players around him?, in your opinion he did as well as he could do considering the lack of creativity from the rest of the side?

 

BTW if we're going to talk about the goals Sissoko was involved in (7 assists and 1 goal) lets remember that two of those assists were against Spurs after we were relegated.

I'm saying Sissoko did much better than the average winger does in a relegation team. If the rest of our team had performed similarly compared to the average relegation team we probably would have been fine. He only got 1 assist vs Tottenham btw

I wouldn't want him back but something like Sissoko plus £14m in cash and call it square could tempt Rafa maybe.  He gets a decent midfielder plus £14m to spend on a quality CB or winger or whatever without even touching our transfer budget.  Two for the price of one sort of thing.

I doubt if there's anything in the Santon / Sissoko rumours. They're both players who are likely to move because of a lack of first team opportunities, and it's easy for journos to speculate about 'a possible return'.

 

Santon isn't any better than Dummett and Sissoko has been sussed out by Premiership defenders.

Who did we buy last time we went up ? I can't remember breaking the bank for anyone

 

Perch

Gosling

Ben Arfa

Tiote

Sol Campbell

 

Only Perch and Tiote cost fees, with Ben Arfa being on loan, and the others free transfers.

 

Could be argued we had retained a better 'core' of players that went down... incl. Nolan, Barton, Carroll, Enrique, etc.

Could :lol: There'll never be a Championship team with that amount of quality ever again.

sissoko?  wait, what happens if we sign him back do we owe spurs £6m on top of whatever fee is agreed?

 

so confusing

 

We'd have to pay them £24m as they've only had him a year.

There's going to be at least one dodgy Ben Arfa to return rumour at some point this summer and we'll all latch onto it like. :lol:

Considering they'd never sell to us, and that he was on Sky the other week saying he could never do what Colback did, think it's safe to say they're on a wind up.

Things change, he'll not have wanted to upset the mackems at that time.
