Scoot Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Really Rafa? You have confidence in little thumb and fat Mike to get a couple of players in? you'd think we've seen it all before Exactly. Absolutely no chance we're signing anyone else. I suppose Rafa saying what he has about having confidence and how he was given the green light to buy players is his way of putting pressure on them publicly to keep their promises. He's done it before. Shame they don't care and just ignore him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Fwiw I’ve been told that we have made 2 bids for Jorgensen and that we have enquired about Slimani who isn’t interested as there may be interest from Chelsea. That may change depending on Dzeko. It was all very downbeat. This comes from someone who works in recruitment at the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Rafa is simultaneously trying to put pressure on and covering his arse, just like he's done before. A shame he has to do so but we've already seen how quickly everyone who isn't a Newcastle fan is willing to stick up for Ashley for some unfathomable reason. #wait Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Nickson heads it and I’ve just checked that the bloke I know is working for the club now (his LinkedIn profile backs this up). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Ahh! Steve Nickson. My favourite Newcastle employeee... That’s the chap. I did also ask about the takeover (not that he’d know the inside track on that) and he simply laughed. Sounds like an absolute farce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Can we now ban any poster who says “Ashley isn’t stupid enough to let us be relegated”? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 They (he) refuse to accept that rightly or wrongly that the finances have outgrown their tinpot methods and that is why we'll never have what we need as it's only going to get worse.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Still think our biggest problem is the lack of creativity, would rather a top class number 10 brought in than a striker if I absolutely had to choose, but really we should be getting both.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 We're something like 11th in the league for chances created. A finisher is what we need. We had 4 decent chances against Swansea in the first half and took none of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a striker who we can rely on to score us goals more than anything. We don’t carry a threat up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Aye, I mean we must have created 7 or 8 really good chances against Swansea and only managed to score once. With decent finishing we should have won that so comfortably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 4 decent chances against Swansea in the first half and took none of them. We are actually 8th or something. We are also 9th in shots, and 7th in shots on target. So yes, we need a striker.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Yep, in all of our games we’ve created chances, but just haven’t scored. Even Man Utd away, Murphy had a great chance at 1-0 but missed it. In this league you’ll be punished for it more often whereas we were able to get away with it a lot last season. Brighton, Everton, Swansea at home - we had some great chances in those games and could easily have won all of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Free Saturday. Today should be a busy day in terms of key conversations/negotiations for players. Here’s hoping they involve Rafa in some of the discussions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Walnuts Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 all the money he promised in the summer - all the players we've offloaded - all the the TV money the slug is making - all the millions of free advertising, down to our arse, in danger of getting relegated again and losing our manager and one loan signing with 4 days to go - unbelievable!
