Dr.Spaceman Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I think Chris Wood be a solid signing. He's a polished striker, and would be part of the furniture in a Bruce setup. He's the kind of player we should have signed ages ago. If we're going to be a functional but quite shit team, we may as well get the right tools for the job. Newcastle haven't been functional since the day Rafa left, and won't be until the day a new owner makes a solid appointment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle under Mike Ashley have consistently hired managers that do not work with the approach to recruitment. This has always been the issue. Mike Ashley wants one of the boys he can have a pint with as manager. It's ridiculous and annoying, yes, but it could feasibly 'work' if you let them get the type of players that work with their approach. Work in the sense of an Allardyce's Bolton or a Dyche's Burnley who were both European teams, and so it won't be the prettiest necessarily. Under Bruce it shouldn't be quite that ugly hopefully. Don't know why it's been so difficult to just get the basics of allowing the manager to bring in the types of players he wants all of these years. Absolutely crazy stuff.

But if you buy the type of players the PFM managers want to work with, there's no resale value in big hard cloggers. I mean they might keep you up, but no club who wants to go anywhere will want to buy them, so Big Mike wouldn't be happy about that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either go with the preferred recruitment policy and get in a manager that can make it work, or pick one of your pub buddies and give up the idea of young foreign talent and bigger resale values.

KaKa Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Only really worked once with the Sissoko, Cabaye etc. Yes, indeed. The ones that did kind of work out were with players that were a bit more akin to the typical premier league player. And yet they didn't even have the sense to look for more like that who were a bit tougher, physical, or high energy etc. It's been an absolute farce really. Completely blew it with the likes of Ben Arfa, Thauvin, Cabella, Marveaux and Saivet. Just flushing money down the toilet bringing in players like this under the likes of Pardew. And that's not to say they would have all been a roaring success, but the right type of manager would have got far more use out of most of those guys. I mean for a start, maybe get a manager from the league you keep buying all of them from?! So frustrating man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are probably right there, even the under 25 policy will have been jettisoned as that was only applied for big money signings, and we won't be getting any of them again in a hurry.
