Newcastle United transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

Does anyone genuinely believe we're going to bring in 6 or 7 exciting players?

 

Depends on your definition of "exciting"?

 

Premiership quality players. Not Jacob Murphys.

 

Whats up with Murphy? He did as good as some of our best last season with his contribution for Norwich.

 

He's a "hope". We need a proven player or 6. I'd like to sign Murphy too though.

This window is Ted Striker's story about how he met Elaine, and this forum is the guy in the turban dousing himself with petrol.

 

Nice. Have you ever seen a grown man naked?

Disco favourite Lisandro Lopez (not that one) has joined Benfica. He'll be Garay's replacement.

 

I'm Graeme Carr's campest son.

 

Shame he's not been on loan at Barca, instead of around Madrid, as then you could have been his nou campest son!

has it been covered in any detail how many signings we've made before july since we came back up last time for instance?  really doesn't feel like it'll be many and atsu had to be bought due to the fixed fee iirc

 

2010: 0

2011: 3 (Ba, Cabaye, Marveaux)

2012: 1 (Amalfitano)

2013: 0

2014: 2 (Colback, Perez)

2015: 0

2016: 1 (Sels)

2017: 1 (Atsu)

 

:thup:

 

of them colback & marv were free transfers aye, marv in particular signed to get him ahead of other interest iirc - was amalfitano free as well?

 

that being the case it's 4-5 over 7 years then :lol:

Updated, as Amalfitano didn't officially join until July 1st (despite .com having him listed in May).

 

We average less than 1 per year by July, basically.

 

Ba, Colback and Marveaux were freebies. Cabaye and Atsu were clauses.

 

Perez and Sels the only ones that were pure transfer deals, which I assume were done quickly due to competition from other clubs (and in Sels' case because pre-season training had begun due to Championship season starting sooner).

 

It's massively tedious all this waiting around, but hopefully it means we're in for a busy July again!

I mean we'll probably still sign players, like everyone else will as most teams have been quite so far. Issue is our owner is and the history of ineptitude that surrounds the football club.

 

So i don't really blame people for getting concerned over this.

Well you would chill if you ignored the fact that in nearly every one of those seasons we have been shocking, fighting at the wrong end of the table, and eventually going down.

 

I can't remember a premier league season under Ashley when i'v thought we were ready come the first game. Obviously with Benitez as manager it helps a great deal and subsides any panic to a degree, but posting a list of the lack of activity around now is just posting a list of examples of the club not learning their lesson imo.
