Away Toon Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Play Woodman and fuck it. He can't be any worse than the rest of the average keepers we have, and he has the potential to be a lot better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Hate having to share a link to this abortion of a website, but not sure if people saw this. Apparently deals are on the table but names aren't out there. Creative midfielder from La Liga(?) and a winger. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-transfers-hatem-ben-arfa-13299868?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Urgh I hate watching Lick Ryder. Hes such a spaz. Worrying if our range is 5-10mill. I wonder where we would finish if we didn't sign any more players. I don't actually think teams from say 12th to 17th last season are anything special, that's not to say we wouldn't just go straight down but we definitely have a few players to make the step up and play better than 2 years ago.

Dokko Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Rafa clearly doesn't see him as the solution, so turning down 5million seems a bit strange, there must be multiple interest in him I would think. Darlow was the best keeper in the championship last season His stats are very good played 34, conceded 32. 34 games and 13 clean sheets. Not many better according to the stats http://www.foxsports.com/soccer/stats?competition=23&season=20160&category=GOALKEEPING&pos=0&team=0&sort=6&sortOrder=1 This is a sarcastic post, right?

afar Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I'd want more than £5m like, he didn't cost us much less than that. He's a decent goalkeeper with a promising future IMO. It was 5 million for both he and Jamaal, I think Jamaal was probably 75% of that fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Play Woodman and f*** it. He can't be any worse than the rest of the average keepers we have, and he has the potential to be a lot better. I'm actually aligned to that way of thinking also, he's young and obviously will be raw but we won't know what we have until we play him, showed in the summer that he can handle a big stage.

54 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Out of our current crop of keepers Krul should be number 1 with Darlow number 2. Get rid of Sels and Elliott, and send Woodman on loan with a bring back clause incase either Krul or Darlow gets injured. I would be relatively content with that, if it means spending money in other more crucial areas of the pitch. Edit: Forgot Sels had already gone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 You can't have bring back clauses anymore, it shafts the club he's on loan to. I'd maybe loan him out until January or keep him until then to learn from a new senior keeper (ie Reina) and then loan him out second half of the season.

geordiedean Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 did Ryder say in that interview we are looking at 5m to 10m players??? get them maps out for Burton again lads if thats the case as no way this club will stop up shopping around that market.....premier league club pays championship fees for players. yet Bournemouth and Leicester spend 20m plus on players.

SEMTEX Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I'm sure Woodman sitting on our bench would do wonders for his career progression.

How can't we compete with them its ridiculous Why should we be able to compete financially with Bournemouth and Leicester? They were in the Premiership last season so they got £100m+ for starters. NUFC got around £8m in the Championship. It's all about the TV money. Also, Leicester won the Premier League in 2015/2016 season so they'll have earned a lot of prize money. We got relegated at the worst possible time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also a question on budget. He says that we basically have to sell to buy due to the money other PL teams like Bournemouth, Stoke and West Brom received when we got relegated.

Would not surprise me in the slightest with these clowns in charge. I can see Rafa walking before the start of the season and who would blame him - the signs were there to see in January. When clubs like Bournemouth and Leicester are showing more ambition with there price range for transfers then that is a major concern. Let's get it right here the bloke is a billionaire but shows not the slightest ambition in trying to move this club forward and never will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
