Deuce Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I would trust Rafa to spend £50m wisely. We bought Schar, Fernandez, Dubravka, and Ki for a combined £13m. That shouldn't even need questioning TBH. He's the manager, if they don't trust him then let him go. I know, I meant more for us as fans. I wouldn’t trust Sam Allardyce with £5, let alone £50m.

Guest Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 He would be a good Kenedy replacement. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-united-interested-swansea-winger-16241478 Looks a talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribesman Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Even with Benitez in charge this is a big rebuild. https://twitter.com/NUFC360/status/1126175079233216515 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Gonna be tough to get what will certainly be a totally different squad on the same page before the start of next season. Doubly-so if it’s not Rafa at the helm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon No9 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Even with Benitez in charge this is a big rebuild. https://twitter.com/NUFC360/status/1126175079233216515 On that list it's really only Rondon and Perez that we really want to keep. Maybe Ritchie and Woodman aswell. And Hayden of course, but fully understand his situation. But I agree, it's a big rebuild. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 For anyone who can be arsed if Rafa goes, I genuinely think you need to prepare yourself for Colback in a Newcastle shirt again, especially if we're literally left with Ki and Longstaff as our only senior CMs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I can cast iron guarantee that the net spend this summer will be below £20m Anyone else disagree? Is that net? Because I can totally see sales of £100m and purchases of maybe £60m - and it’s only that high because we’re going to have to replace 6-10 players. Even a bare minimum of departures (Shelvey, Diame, Ki, Rondon, Ayoze, Kenedy) - there’s no replacing them without some *real* expenditure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelveys Hair Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 After Ki and Longstaff we dont have much going on in CM Hayden's been good but wants to be sold Shelvey needs to be sold Diame not good enough, but will probably be retained as we're never going to buy 3 CM's Pass back Jack should be offski's Going to be a big problem for Tim Sherwood Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I’d be surprised if with 3 midfielders going, Samaris isn’t one of the first signings announced this summer. Free transfer, would leave money from sales for Shelvey & Hayden for a new first choice midfielder, and we’d still need to buy one more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've deliberately stopped him reaching 25 starts this season so as not to trigger an automatic contract extension That just means we can now offer him a new lower payed contract (if he wants to sign it), rather than him getting the same terms he is on now automatically or what the next person up said Theres no way we could possibly let Diame, Hayden and Shelvey leave.
