Nobody Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 6 more weeks. If we sell the expected three, we'll need almost a signing a week to just have the same squad size as we ended last season with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I'm sure we will end up with a few signings but I don't see why we have to make such hard work of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Leon Best looked a much better player in the prem for us than in the championship, always found that strange. Was a really good link up striker to Demba Ba. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Also I think the net spend will be less than last season, Ashley logic is that we finished 10th spending 35-40 million, the aim is 17th, therefore spend 20 million and we'll be fine.

geordiedean Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 It's unbelievable you see teams spending 15 to 20m as if it's nothing. God even Ajax are now spending that yet we think anyone over 10m is extortionate wtf is wrong with these idiots furthermore where is all the money going?

You would have to consider us possible relegation candidates if no funds or records get spent or broken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we aren't even prepared to compete with the other teams in the division for recruitment then really there is no point in us being there It's only a matter of time before we drop again with this mentality of Ashley's. We are trying to get 4 or 5 players for the same amount the likes of West Ham,Palace and Leicester spend on 1 You can't even get a decent Championship player now for 5-10m ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 We won't get relegated with Rafa, that's the conundrum. Ashley only has to spend enough to keep Rafa here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Pulis, the Middlesbrough manager, is scrapping with his old club to sign the Scotland international as Newcastle consider letting him leave after two years at the club. Middlesbrough and Stoke have both held detailed discussions with Newcastle over a potential deal, with £15m understood to be the fee required to sign him.

Conjo Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Under "normal" circumstances I would say yes. He's at the age now where his value will only go down, although hard working and a good shot he is a very limited player and should be replaced with someone better to move the club forward. Reality though is that we are still owned by Mike Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 The clubs in for him is telling. Seems the sort of player who’s good for a promotion campaign and then to consolidate in the top flight, but not any higher. Same with Bournemouth now appears the same here, probably same again at Boro or Stoke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
