He’s very very pragmatic, repeats multiple times that the working relationships are good, and that everyone has been working to do what is right within the constraints we have. But he repeats that once we reach the 4th or 5th player on our list for each position, we have to make a decision on whether we just wait until the next window. People seem desperate to create drama where there is very little. It’s been a poor window, partly because of PSR, partly because of decisions we have made due to the PSR constraints. It doesn’t really have to be any more dramatic than that. Disappointing, but we move on. Well said 👏 All it would take is 3 wins on the spin, and people would be well over it, the opposite, and its Howe out, bla bla, totally fickle at times, all of us tbf. I'm still buzzing over Sandro, can't wait to see more, and I'd hope Howe can develop and integrate Sanusi into the side a little. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Chalobah, it’s more he’s potentially a future squad CB too. A loan we could’ve seen first hand if he was worth making a squad signing, who can play RB too.

It’s pretty common place for loans to include a loan fee these days. Mind you, you are also speaking to someone who doesn’t really rate Chalobah and don’t really see him as much of an upgrade on anyone we have in that position.

He's quite a lot better than both Krafth and Lascelles, who we're now going to have to give a decent amount of game time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 Just watched this press conference. That Louise Taylor (?) And a few others are absolute tosspot.

Gottlob Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 An injury to Pope or Schar and we are now severely limited for half of the season. I personally don't think our defence looks great as it stands, and while it's on Howe to improve our ball retention and turn things around away from home, if we do start to control matches more and force other teams to sit back, I reckon we'll struggle more than we'd like to break teams down with attention once again turning to our lack of quality wingers. The plus side obviously includes the return of Tonali, a really talented player who has the capacity to galvanise us out on the pitch, and I think Kelly and Osula were smart pickups. We do have a strong squad with everyone fit. But with Howe expressing his disappointment with our transfer business several times this summer and talking about players feeling unsettled, the end of the transfer window has provided nobody with a lift and it only increases the pressure on our current squad and coaching staff to perform this season.

TheBrownBottle Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 I get that there’s a lot of pissed-off people re the window, but we’ve still got a very good manager and a very good squad of players. I don’t see why the same target of aiming for top 6/7 and a cup run would have changed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 London clubs seemingly help London clubs. Challobah is never starting over Schar, Trippier or Livramento. Hes never starting at LCB either. As Schar is also a top backup LCB too if we need to make it work. So no, I assume it mutually doesn’t work that way. Just like people not grasping that some players do not move to just sit on the bench and it makes not a single ounce of sense to get a loan in on a fee with out obligation to sign as it’s the same as burning a note.

Alberto2005 Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 I think I'd like us to try Kelly at RCB rather than Krafth tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinoasprilla Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 It’s not schar vs challlobah it’s Krath vs challobah. Which is no contest especially on loan. De ligt for 40 million or guehi for 65. You can go on and on our list must be tiny. I’d take reiss Nelson over Murphy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted August 31, 2024 Share Posted August 31, 2024 Does challobah want to move to north east of England to sit the bench? Does Newcastle want to spend precious PSR money on a loan with no obligation or option? Does Newcastle want to then lower next windows budget pound for pound to have a backup? How long will it take him to get up to speed on our tactics? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not all in some boys club helping each other out. In the main they are competing against each other, as they are with non London clubs.
