Hanshithispantz Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 You expected us to wisely spend every penny of our limited funds without no signings missing the mark like? The biggest issue with our limited funds was that we never had a coherent plan with how we would spend them because our daft sell to buy policy. There was no chance of Benitez ever building an effective squad under that shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 We've spent £15m on him and Joselu. This could have gotten us a proper PL striker who? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 We've spent £15m on him and Joselu. This could have gotten us a proper PL striker who? £15m doesn't even buy you Dwight Gayle for a Championship team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Tammy Abraham, who Rafa wanted on loan but wasn't allowed. Ofcourse Jordan is blaming the signing of Jacob Murphy for our awful squad though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Hmm, £15m would have gotten you Chris Wood. Nathan Ake went for £20m. Neither are established PL strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Tammy Abraham, who Rafa wanted on loan but wasn't allowed. Ofcourse Jordan is blaming the signing of Jacob Murphy for our awful squad though. No i'm not. I'm saying we've spent money on dross that could have collectively bought a player who possesses the quality we actually need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 May look shit (which he has) but really needs matches for confidence. Or we signed the wrong twin of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 We've spent £15m on him and Joselu. This could have gotten us a proper PL striker who? Chris Wood cost Burnley £15m and looks a better signing than Drosselu and Murphy combined. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I thought you said a proper pl striker? Wood wasn't that when he signed. Wood is perfect for Burnley, but he's not a Rafa player really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I'm still p*ssed off we spent £12M on this guy when we have Aarons in that position ffs. Aye. Instead of him and Joselu, a tasty £17 mil striker would have come in handy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ofcourse Jordan is blaming the signing of Jacob Murphy for our awful squad though. No i'm not. I'm saying we've spent money on dross that could have collectively bought a player who possesses the quality we actually need. I am quite sure there is a player somewhere in the world available for 12 million that could beat one man, put in an occasional adequate cross, complete a few passes and not lose the ball in dangerous areas. All things that Murphy has failed to do thus far. I am not looking to dismiss the boy's chances right away. I have seen the same highlights as everyone else. He has talent, but is low on confidence and adjusting. However, he is currently useless and a detriment to the first team. I don't understand why he was the most expensive transfer in the window.

Newcastle Fan Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 His cameos have been absloutly pathetic, today was one the worst appearances of one of our players coming on as a sub that i can think off, he really needs some times away from the team.

Interpolic Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Clearly low on confidence, but some of the comments in here are ridiculous. Disco's comments in particular are slightly OTT imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Needs time and support. As I've said earlier in the thread there's a few factors that make this a really unique and challenging situation for the player, not helped by the fact we have started well and he's coming on for players who are largely playing well. Our fans have an ugly tendency to jump on a players back with complaints and groans in a match situation. That will kill the lad off and he's clearly a player with much potential, like Thauvin when he was here. So aye, let's try and refrain from the pelters. It's unwarranted entirely. If he looks the same after a year or so, maybe, but right now it's ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely Content Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Aye, and Thauvin is now absolutely class. So hence our fans aren't always right. In fact a lot of the time they're too quick to judge and vocalise that live and online, and that can literally wipe out a players chances of improving. That said, the Thauvin and Murphy cases are very different, I don't think Thauvin really wanted to play for us, where as Murphy probably wants to play for us too much, to the extent his natural game goes out the window and it's all in his head rather than the body, instinct and rhythm he will possess as a pro.
