Newcastle United transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

I'd sooner have someone like Sakho or Slimani now. More faith in those getting the 5-6 goals to see us safe. Jorgensen seems like someone who'd be ideal if you signed in the summer and could have a full pre-season to integrate. Big ask to expect him to hit the ground running and score the required goals.

 

I said the same about Gameiro, would have been a decent summer signing, but we need someone who can hit the ground running at this point. Slimani would be worth paying over the odds for, plus he looks a perfect fit for Rafa's style.

One gullible fucker this Rafa mind.

I was thinking about this the other day, remember back to the confidence with which people were declaring what Rafa would and wouldn't stand for with Ashley [emoji38]

 

He'll never get himself into this situation, he'll make sure his contract locks down Ashley, or he'll walk.

 

Yeah that went well.

I think as plenty of people have said, Rafa does not seem like someone who would walk away during his contract. Even with no takeover i would see him running his contract down next season.

He's on something like £6,000,000 a year. Think he has to pay that too if he leaves. He's not going anywhere.

Iirc it was reported that it's only payable if he takes another job within a certain period of time.

 

Anyway my initial point was just about the confidence with which people declared Rafa would never allow himself to be in the exact position he's now in [emoji38]

This and any other threads about transfers need to be closed down. The inevitable build up to disappointment which turns to frustration and anger will then be eradicated

 

Hey! Don't be such a sissy. Put your big boy pants on.

He might be in this position but he has played everything politically to his advantage. Let's public know last summer promised were brocken. Stated squad not good enough and then wasn't backed. Fans were angry. Then starts season and as expected we struggle and in January says he needs help despite getting us out of the relegation zone. Club let's it known he will be backed and Rafa says he expects something to happen. If nowt happens and window closes fans will go crackers at the club and Ashley. Rafa then has to get to the end of the season and if somehow we stay up will be lauded and if we go down he reviews his situation in the summer probably moves on for nowt and Ashley loses the gravy train yet again.

Sky sports transfer centre had something about Slimani and Newcaste when you first click on the link but it then disappears. I didn't get the chance to read it like probably saying we have bid £2 million and a sports direct mug.

 

Just saw on Sky sports news they are claiming we are in talks with Slimani. Nothing to substantiate it, just one of their background headlines.

 

Quick, put your bets on.

 

 

Too half hearted. I say break out the Slimani thread in anticipation of his arrival!  :frantic:
