TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I'm certain he said word-for-word the same in January as the excuse for why he didn't sign anyone Then proceeded to slate Joelinton every week afterwards for not being a goalscorer / proper striker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cheesy Beans Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Those comments are ridiculous. Going into a PL season with 1 striker (who isn’t a striker), 1 injury prone and 1 slightly less injury prone/Championship standard. Yet he’s happy with that unless we find someone better?... Steve, literally any available striker is better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolute Elsewhere Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Absolutely criminal and a disgrace this useless shithead is NUFC manager in 2020.

The biggest ever stain on our club other than Ashley and we have both at once man Yes it is criminal but don't blame Bruce, blame Ashley. He's the idiot who decided employing Bruce was a good idea. Every single thing that is shit at NUFC from Bruce to Charnley is all down to Mike fucking Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve, literally any available striker is better. Good luck in finding one for £10m - which is probably about as optimistic as you can get when it comes to budget for a striker. Realistically there's no way we can buy a decent striker for anything less than £30m unless he's about 34, and that would be red flagged for lack of resale value. Bruce is just coming out with that whitewash because that is literally his job now. To rubber stamp our beggars budget. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 That makes no sense from Bruce, he just brought in a CM who's no better than what we have. I suppose you could say Hendrick is a bit more versatile, but that's about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolute Elsewhere Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 It'll be Batshauyi on loan imho. No chance imo. He would he too costly and have too many better options than to come to us. We never seem to get the top 6 teams cast offs either. That should be our market loaning fringe players from the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal but we don’t even bother doing that.

mrmojorisin75 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 It'll be Batshauyi on loan imho. Said this last week. Even if it's a £10m loan fee or whatever it'd be far preferable to going into the season with what we've got. Could see Chelsea wanting to sell him this time mind.

To be fair, some of those unattached strikers are better than them too It's surprising just how many of the worst strikers in the world we always seem to have in our team in any given season. I've seen foaming rage at us fielding the likes of Shola, DeJong, Tomasson, Riviere, Guivarch, Andersson, Joselu and now Joelinton. Every time, whichever striker is wearing the current number 9 shirt, he's the absolute worst we've ever had. So without spending big money, don't be shocked if whichever dud comes in next is equally as bad. Although from Bruce's quotes it seems he realises it as well and so is giving up the fight before he's even taken his coat off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah seems every other side buys better strikers than us, even when we spend 10's of £millions more. I suppose we just have a deliberate policy of poor scouting combined with age restrictions which means we always end up with the worst strikers in the division. I can't stand Bruce, but with those policies in place, no wonder he's reluctant to bring in the next dud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
