KaKa Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I am baffled why a young player would want to join this shitshow. Must of had a lack of offers elsewhere? Back to the days of being a stepping stone. He won't be here long if he's any good, the tracksuit tycoon will cash him in. But aren't there more appealing stepping stones than us? Depends ... Probably not for what we are willign to pay for some of these players. This is essentially a gambling game MA is playing. It's high stakes stuff. Paying more for these types in the hopes of winning big. When we got Mitrovic and Thauvin, others just weren't willing to pay what we did. Same with Gini too. Cabella ... etc etc. Dude is just gambling with his mates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 In what fucking logic would you sign a player for £36m and appoint Steve Bruce as manager to oversee it? It’s 2015/16 all over again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Boy Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 It seems Joelinton shares an agent with this St-Maxim fella we are also linked with. What's the odds that a bit of digging shows they same agency represented Gonzales, Doumbia etc??

Kanji Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Give Steve Bruce a 35m striker, 21m #10 in Miggy and even a 20m+ winter in that St Maxim dude. only us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 There's not enough time to sign anyone anyways. I mean there definitely is, and every other club will manage to do so, especially those we're selling to, but definitely not enough time for us.

You need to transform your mind. Managers at Newcastle will not get money for anything. Players with potential will be brought in by MA and the recruitment team and the manager will be told to figure it out. The ones that excel will be sold for substantial profits.

AsprillasShinPad Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 My signature quote is no longer true anymore. Back to being a perma stepping stone club. We're no longer even that. We're a billboard for S***** D*****. The only players who will come here are mercenaries who know they wouldn't get a deal elsewhere. We haven't got the coaches, players or facilities to improve anyone. Just get the cheapest shite in, aim for 17th place, rinse and repeat. I hope they get double relegated just to stick it to the FCC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that, honestly I do. I’ll reword. No way are we spending the going rate on any players. We’ll spend £7m on a young striker who will be utter shite.

Loans all the way now. not saying it'll be £35m but i think we'll sign at least 1-2 players like this lad from nice and joelinton who they think will be worth more later and are young etc. we were paying +£10m fees for the likes of cabella & thauvin 4-5 years ago so it's not beyond the realms of possibility that ashley will sanction fees in the +£20m range if he's convinced he'll make more later as that seems to be the model they want to go back for Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the few French guys we got in that one Jan window when their contracts were close to ending in the coming summer. Most papers are reporting today that the deal for Joelinton is already in place, and we heard a good while ago about personal terms being discussed with the winger from Nice, Saint-Maximin.

"We couldnt break our record because Steve wanted to bring Crouchy out of retirement and bring in Andy Carroll instead" Nah, the club just don't want to have to answer questions about a signing coming in with no manager in place. Steve Bruce has absolutely no say in any of the deals that have already been planned. It's so obvious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
