r0cafella Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I'm glad he's going but we will need 2-3 central midfielders as the current lot are not good enough should we get promoted. Debatable whether the current lot would get us promoted to be honest Valid point. Central midfield is where I'm concerned we won't be strong enough in. There is no creativity in it at all. Yeah that Championship is shit, but it's still not going to help if Colback is passing the ball backwards and Shelvey is only hitting 1 good pass in 10. Not like you to be critical of Colback mate.

I've been critical of him for a long time. Just not good enough, he's a squad player at best. He stifles everything we do. Hopefully today is the start of Rafa realising that even he can't get performances out of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 No more "shooooooooot!!!" Only a matter of time before Shelvey hits one of his 30 yarders that finds it's way into the back of the net. From then on he will be awarded the shoooooot chant at every opportunity. (Which no doubt he will oblige and give away possession) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickMack Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I think he will stay fwiw. Be pleased if he does stay. And if he does leave, I will be right, which I like. You still reckon he'll leave Ikon? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 When asked if he will spend more, he said: “Yeah. “We were moving quickly at the beginning and then the Premier League teams started to spend some money. “Then everybody thought the prices will be higher then it becomes more difficult. But still we have some things behind the scenes and we are close.” Benitez also answered questions on Cheick Tiote with the Ivory Coast midfielder linked with a move to Middle East outfit Al Jazira Club. We understand that while there is interest in Tiote there has been no firm offer for the Toon player. Benitez added: “We have some players that are in the market because the clubs are asking for them, but we have to wait and see if we receive the right offers for the right players. Then we will move forward. “The main thing for me is to be sure we can bring the players we need to improve the squad.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U2 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 "We was trying to get players over the line. Maybe one or two before the window slams shut." "Obviously, every player has a price and if a top club comes in for one of my ballers, there is nothing I can do." Just wanted to copy those Pardew quotes in to remind everyone (not that it is needed) just how much better life is under Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I don't think we need many new players coming in, we could always use this season to give our young players a chance when needed. Andy Carroll thrived in that Championship season . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 He's fucking amazing, he's just a proper manager and the difference in the whole club with him in charge vs pond scum like Pardew is just night and day.

He's not playing in the best league right now, surely we'll match what wages the MLS are giving him, and the prospect of playing under Rafa and earning promotion to the Premier League would be there as well.
