Withdean was a terrible stadium and place to watch football. It also wasn't much bigger than those attendances even at its biggest. The two years 2-3k was them playing in Gillingham. Obviously their attendances jumped to 20k in 2012 in the second tier and with a new stadium - but that's hardly unusual across the football league to see similar growth.

Paully Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Huijsen confirmed - - whoever does Juve’s transfers needs sacked - sold him for £13m last summer and bought Lloyd Kelly for £20m! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish we’d been all in for him last summer (as per our rumoured interest) rather than fannying around haggling with Parish for the vastly overpriced Guehy. We’d have one CD position sorted for the next decade an a half for a pittance if we had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just we’d have some profit to show for it, but back to square one on the board. Probably why we didn’t make a move as we want the CB and majority of first team signings here for a few seasons at minimum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like loans, I don't think we'll ever see Eddie really buy in to getting players in for a quick flip. It'll happen on special occasions like Targett and Kelly, but he only wants players who fundamentally see their future with him and the club. I think it's pretty clear that was not going to be the case with Huijsen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not buying at all that Huijsen would be willing to prove his worth at Bournemouth, but not join a Newcastle side clearly on the up. I suppose we’ll never know if we were in for him, but we definitely should have been, regardless of whether he would have wanted a release clause. You can’t go wrong with bringing in a massive talent for under the price of an average Championship player, even with a release clause allowing to make your money back four times over if Madrid come knocking. For that to happen he’d have to have done really well in the first place anyway, wouldn’t he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I'm not saying he wouldn't have been willing to join us, I'm saying I don't think Eddie would've fancied the dynamic of signing a player who already has one eye on his next move. I think both perspectives are respectable, but our squad clearly operates on 100% buy in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and his agent have been extremely aggressive in engineering the move away from Bournemouth. We aren’t bringing in those types of characters.
