Chicken Dancer Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 On the subject of Shearer, assuming Haaland stays for 75% of that contract, he will almost certainly break the record. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be foolish to disagree, most likely he will, it's just Haaland feels a bit of an outlier of a player so I am not sure all comparisons will work, however he certainly can finish so will remain a great poacher likely. I'd more be worried about injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 11 minutes ago, gdm said: yeah and I think most Newcastle fans would like to spend but do it like we have been. Building a really good squad steadily year by year and not just throwing silly money at like city. City are the reason we can’t spend as much as we’d like. No one wants another city in the league so people can blame Man Utd Liverpool and Arsenal etc and rightly so but the way City have went about things since their takeover is it any wonder the rest of league don’t want a repeat of that? I don’t. It’s boring and dare I say soulless I agree with not wanting to spend billions in a couple of summers, I do t want to be the best that way. But what Man City are doing right now is exactly the problem with the rules. They’re having a shit season so spend £150m to fix it, whereas we ‘can’t afford’ to replace Almiron. Not being allowed to strengthen in the position of strength that we are in right now is just ridiculous Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Oh and I said the same of Aston Villa last year. They had a genuine opportunity to try and win the league this time last January and you really don’t get these opportunities often. They weren’t allowed to freshen up the team to kick on again in the same way we find ourselves right now and just ran out of steam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) do wonder if Man City have had word that their punishment is going to be a long transfer ban. Signing all these young players and handing out obscene contracts to existing ones seems mad. Their only previous significant January signings under Pep have been Laporte and Gabriel Jesus I think.

WilliamPS Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 With Haaland he may lose his pace (but that is injury dependent) but he’d still be a big powerful striker with a good shot on him. He’s also massively dedicated, so more likely to work on his game as his mobility changes. It’s not likes he’s like Owen or Walcott where pace is his game.

Chicken Dancer Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Getting Wilson, Targett, Almiron, Trippier off the books will free up some cash we can hopefully earmark for Isak, however the problem is replacing those players too. This is where Mitchell hopefully earns his dollar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
