Shadow Puppets Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Some lad called Iain Davison broke the Willems news at 10.43am on Twitter, saying he was having a medical in Newcastle today. Ryder has just caught up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 N'Soki looked like the real quality player out of all the targets this season, no surprise he has held out for a better offer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 They've just dusted off the old list from before Rafa came haven't they? Nah, Bruce is "in charge of transfers". These are definitely his guys. He is allowed to have final sign off on his preference. The key stipulation is that he agrees to select from "the list" of players from the recruitment team.

JackM Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Willems is terrible, barely played for Frankfurt last season and they are desperate to get rid of him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I presume Willems is a squad signing? Rotating in when Ritchie is out. I take it this means the club don't think Lazaar can be used in the premier league? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he's on £5k a week and we offered £9k...........................he turned us down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it this means the club don't think Lazaar can be used in the premier league? He's a left back isn't he? How is he a stand-in for Ritchie? We do actually need a left back that being said, but not much point in buying a left-sided version of Manquillo. I haven't seen Jetro btw, just assuming he's not much good by the reaction of those on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So more of an alternative to Dummet should we play a back 4 then. Fair enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 The other problem with Carr was that he was more than just a scout and - playing staff excluded - represented about 50% of the entire footballing acumen at the entire club, without actually being cut out for the strategic role he played. Remember him being part of that delegation with a half-cut-looking Joe Kinnear on the way to wherever the fuck it was? He was key to the model which ensured we would never actually succeed and it was a huge relief when Rafa binned him in favour of (trying to) build a legitimate footballing operation. Christ knows how it's working at the moment but presumably that Nickson bloke is playing a similar role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him a lot but we've known Ritchie's limitations from the moment we kicked off in the Premier League two seasons ago. Piles upon piles of evidence that we've no intention of progressing yet thousands and thousands and thousands of people continue to put their money into it.

Back to just being a gateway move for players from the continent. Felt like every player we signed during the Pardew/McClaren years were brought in on that pretence; fail to see how it won't have gone back to that now that the actual football man has gone.
