TRon Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Can't wait for the club statement tomorrow morning Ashley made it before the match the other day. We can't compete with man city. Fuckwits lap it up with a biscuit. Done. Aye, the writing has been on the wall since that interview. He didn't exactly make any secret of his intentions, there was no other reason for it.

gdm Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Why would the club release a statement for the end of the transfer window? It's been done before on many occasions, where have you been? Example A statement from Newcastle United Football Club Managing Director Derek Llambias A statement from Newcastle United Managing Director Derek Llambias Now that the transfer window has closed, we have had some time to reflect on the business we have conducted over the summer. Our aim was to secure young players who represented value for money and could add real strength to the squad. The majority of our transfer dealings were completed in the early part of the window and we feel we have signed some players of exceptional quality. Yohan Cabaye, Sylvain Marveaux, Mehdi Abeid, Demba Ba and Gabriel Obertan were all brought in early and we have seen these players settle quickly into the squad and perform well on the pitch. Earlier this week we were delighted to sign Davide Santon from Inter Milan to fill our left-back position after the departure of Jose Enrique. Davide is an excellent young prospect and we're sure he'll be another superb addition to the squad. We also welcomed young goalkeeper Rob Elliot from Charlton Athletic who will help us retain healthy competition for that position after loaning out Fraser Forster to Celtic. [bold]Of course we had also hoped to secure a further striker in the window, in addition to Demba Ba. Work to bring a striker into the club began early in the summer. Negotiations were complex and protracted and unfortunately it was disappointing that ultimately we could not secure our priority target. Whilst we did turn our attention to alternative prospects in the latter stages of the window, we have a very clear transfer policy and will not make knee-jerk decisions at the last-minute which are not in the best interests of the club. We understand that supporters will feel frustrated that we did not sign another striker during the window, but it was not for lack of trying that we did not bring our final target in.[/bold] Other than replacing Fraser Forster with Rob Elliot, our best ever transfer window under Ashley Aye just an example of the usual statement tho I'm sure others can be found, just can't be arsed looking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I'm used to not bringing anyone in on transfer deadline day, but we're losing players on the last day of the window and activley strengthening relegation rivals. This is absolutely maddening. I know it's not the end of the day but it looks pretty grim at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 That's exactly the type of thing I was after a few days ago. There's no defending or hiding behind those numbers now. He won them the league making £30m in the process and they've given him half a Nathan Ake to stay up. Small time cunts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 A club like Newcastle should be spending in the region of the 40 mil mark along with Everton. All the hard work done by SJH, Freddy Shepherd, KK and SBR has been ruined and washed away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
