Yelevats Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Cheese Slice is one of the worst players to have represented Newcastle United in the modern Premier League era. The fact he is still starting games and hasn't been moved on is an absolute joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 19 hours ago, nbthree3 said: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9902287/Steve-Bruce-pushes-Newcastle-sign-Hamza-Choudhury-loan-Leicester.html It’s understood they would listen to offers for the likes of Sean Longstaff, Jeff Hendrick, Fabian Schar and Ciaran Clark as they look to recoup funds and free up space in the 25-man Premier League squad. Choudhury made 22 appearances for Leicester last season but only ten in the Premier League. He has two years left on contract and Leicester are open to negotiating a deal. I think that may be more to do with reducing the wage bill than freeing up space for loans tbh. All of them listed will be on good money (perhaps Clark apart). They've probably ended up paying more wages to Willock than they'd planned. This balances that and if/when you replace a Longstaff or Schar with some kid on loan from Chelsea/Arsenal/Man Utd then their wages would be miles less.

HaydnNUFC Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) The centre half saga is beyond a fucking joke. Let Lejeune go out on loan before selling him for a pittance despite being one of our best centre halves; Bruce obviously hasn't forgiven him for Leicester (h) NYD 2020, even though it was Bruce rushing him back from injury which played a part in him being paggered and giving 2 goals away. Be willing to let Schär go whilst allowing the worst defender at the club to play in his position fuck right off. No idea who we can bring in at CB but RB/RWB and CM are a glaring issue. Dunno if Arsenal will allow us to keep on raiding their young players but someone like Maitland-Niles on loan can play both wing back and CM which can free Murphy or whoever up. Kamara looks the best CM besides Willock we've been linked with and the deal can obviously be done with him being in the last year of his contract and him turning a new one at Marseille. Not having this 'we can't afford him' bollocks. We clearly can with the way we know our budget works. '£10m budget' then we fork out £22m-25m on Willock. Aye, reet. Fuck off, absolute joke of a football club. Edited August 18, 2021 by HaydnNUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Mad that we’re getting rid of players like Lejeune, Schar and Longstaff and attempting to loan someone who is fucking hideously bad in comparison. Even if we’re trying to free up on wages. Choudhury will more than likely earn more at Leicester than Longstaff does here. Unless Leicester are willing to pay for him for us, makes no sense at all.

mrmojorisin75 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Yeah wonder if it ever occurred to anyone at the club to try and improve players through coaching. Wild idea I know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Zaius Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 More chance of us lot ending up with Anjem Choudhury as opposed to Hamza, when a minimal loan fee proves too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I'm amazed we bother scouting. We knew Bruce just wants cheap british loans. The scouting department seem to find great targets only for Charley to spend months working out we will never bid enough to get them and we end up going back to the shit british Bruce targets anyway. Case in point Choudhury. We could have cut out the wasted time and brought him in two months ago. I'd say it is lip service to the fans exploring the better targets but we already know they don't give a shit about that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it is lip service to the fans exploring the better targets but we already know they don't give a shit about that. There's Bruce targets and Nickson targets imo. Bruce has brought in Wilson, Lewis, Hendrick, Fraser, Willock. I also think the links to Rob Holding and many British Isles based players are Bruce's targets because he hasn't got a clue about anything on the continent. Nickson is the new Carr iyam. Joelinton, ASM, Krafth, the January 2020 loanees, the links to Kamara and Cajuste. Could be completely wrong like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
