But i can't see that happening at Newcastle with our current owner and manager. Bit harsh to suggest that Bruce can't turn players into 'decent' players. I'm sure he could turn Mbappe, Neymar, Ronaldo, Messi into half decent players given time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Nah he wouldnt even play those on the pitch at the same time. Wouldnt fit into his 8 at the back philosophy. Unless they became wing backs..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Reading the transfer rumours this morning, it's rotten luck that Newcastle are the only team affected by the negative financial impact of Covid. Arh well never mind, two season tickets please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjmc Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Probably reading WAY too much into this but links so far are for relatively cheaper options with potential for their value to rise which is definitely an old club favourite strategy. Still knowing us more likely to go for frees again since it worked our so well last season......... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjohnson Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 20 hours ago, TRon said: So this talk of other clubs being interested was probably coming from his agent to try and get a better pay deal from us then. He's actually not that good. No it's the standard 'we tried' manoeuvre our lot loves so much....offer a third of the players valuation, and walk away saying we wont pay over the odds. PIty they're stuck in the early 2000s where 6m was still a lot of money. 6m now might get a half competent Championship defender Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the clubs he's been linked to, and his success rate in the Scottish League, as well as his stats on the Norwegian national team - he's quite clearly at least low to mid Premier League standard and young enough to improve in the right environment. It's the move to the better league that will be the make or break issue, in that is his current level his roof or can he take the step up in intensity on a weekly level. He might not, I don't know that, but as with any player with potential you won't know until you try. That said, he'd be a lot better off at a club that knows how to bring through players.

Sounds ideal to be fair. Sign a young player with potential who needs proper coaching and development to work under Steve Bruce. Signing him would be a mistake if your assessment is accurate. Bruce can’t work with players who need actual coaching and needs the ready made products to bail him out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
