Guest reefatoon Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 There was absolutely no way we were shelling £20m out on anybody. As soon as we were told the price, little Charners would have pegged it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Absolutely. All this talk about a budget of £30m doesn't make a scrap of sense. It would make for one of our most expensive transfer windows of Ashley's tenure. Really annoying how the local journos haven't highlighted that.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Really annoying listening to Pod on the Tyne. Talking about how we ‘can’t afford’ players with no discussion of exactly why we choose not to spend anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about how we ‘can’t afford’ players with no discussion of exactly why we choose not to spend anything. Aye, it was a bit of a painful listen at times this morning. George weeping at the thought of losing Ritchie is just irritating to listen to. Dunno who that Irish fella was either but didn't sound like he watches much NUFC.

TRC Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 It's a really disappointing pod, I've been a subscriber to the Athletic since the launch and Pod on the Tyne is nowhere near the quality of others. It feels like a bit of a laugh for Caulkin and he doesn't take it too seriously and is more like a fan site pod rather than a premium subscription pod.

toontownman Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Linked to ManCity left-back Angelino now. We clearly have zero clue on what LB to get. That feels like the 5th left back this week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Where are Villa getting all this money from? We have got the third richest owners in english football. Sawiris is one of the richest men in Africa and the largest individual shareholder in Adidas and Edens owns all sorts of shit, including a large chunk of an NBA team. Our problem is not access to cash, far from it, it's FFP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clubs you mention I'd still choose Newcastle over all of them if I was that player, I get what you're saying about the goons in charge, but money talks players don't usually come here nowadays to play for us Palace or Villa, they come for the money first, then to show their worth and make the next step.

Kanj Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 It’s just blatantly obvious how directionless we are as a club. We just had a public takeover fall out, we have fans who hate the owner, most fans don’t rate the manager. We have a Skeleton staff and an owner who doesn’t want to own this club. You’re only coming here for money or the idea that you’ll get a move elsewhere later on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 What the fuck is this? How the face of Newcastle United's recruitment blueprint is changing under Steve Bruce Newcastle United look set to go into the new season with their scouting team operating short-handed. It is understood that a clutch of the club's recruitment team - including European scout Paul Baker - are still furloughed and could remain at home until the end of October, when the government scheme ends. The club's action plan before the pandemic was to keep on top of young talent coming through the ranks around the Continent, but with UEFA's Under-21 European Championship qualifiers now back under way there will be fewer pairs of eyes on potential young talent. Head of recruitment Steve Nickson is also back at work while first-team scout Mick Tait is starting to bottom out targets for the winter windows. Bruce has taken up a more active role when it comes to scouting and was spotted with his back-room team at some games last season checking out possible targets. Bruce also stated that new first team coach Steve Harper could also be deployed in certain weeks of the season to specifically check out a target.

So the scouts arent working, and Bruce has to do scouting himself. Plus any targets we did have (presumably as a result of scouting by actual scouts) are now going to be rescouted in Winter. Keeping our powder dry etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
