A midfield full of 6/10s.

 

Outrageous! As if a centre midfield containing the following stars can be stopped:

 

Shelvey

Hayden

Hendrick

S. Longstaff

M. Longstaff

Saivet

Barlasar

Chelsea loan kid(?)

 

We’re aiming for Europe!

What a weird saga.

 

think its finally dawned on Bruce that he's got fuck all to spend.

 

Even whilst his treatment has been abhorrent you can’t help but feel all sides have lost.

Not bad depth if playing for 2 positions. It is very much 6/10 but all British and for a grand total of £14m it isn't bad going for Mikes dream.

 

If we had deoth like that upfront and at left back it would be pretty much impossible to relegate us.

I don't know what you lot expect. You complain for depth and you've been given it. Not only have we snagged a midfielder from a top ten club but we've now held on to our hot prospect who was being courted across the continent. Everything's coming up Newcastle.

Those first 5 names you could pick any random two and likely get 5-6 out of 10 performances every week. The quality is dire.

 

The quality is fine if staying in the league is all that matters. Can't say the same at left back or upfront. I'd rather we spend whatever little money on those positions. That midfield won't relegate us.

 

Obviously I'm holind on to hope that new owners come in at some point and we can start to look at really kicking on, but until then it's survival in hope we can get new ownership, chewing on were not signing £30m midfielders is just waiting your own time, imo, but 8f all major gaps are plugged and a takeover does happen that £30m mid comes in and sets the place alight and its easier to make those transfers come off.

Signed a new contract. Going out on loan to Udinese.

Just for Udinese to send him on loan to West Ham.

 

Udinese to pay half of Shortstaffs £800/week wages and West Ham the other half. That's how to cut the wage bill. ;D

So they can send him on loan to Watford.

 

So Kenny Jackett can sign him back for Newcastle a free once he's an injury prone 31 year old.

If he's signing a new deal, I'm presuming the club have provided him with a convincing development pathway

 

He should be loaned out to a Championship side for the season in any case

 

Championship regular is the plan for next season mate, not this.
