Transfer rumours

Steve Bruce probably thinks Cruz Azul is a playable race in D&D

 

One of the reasons I hope the moneyball consortium make a move for us is so we aim for these outside of the box type of transfers. The type that could really get you ahead as a club without potentially costing your club it’s whole budget.

Yeah, watching that was just sad.

 

Just a guy with a youtube channel, albeit a really good one, and you know he has thought things through and has more creative and financially viable solutions than our entire recruitment team has, and he likely doesn't even support Newcastle.

 

It's embarrassing man.

The ironic thing about Ashley's penny-pinching approach to recruitment is that it actually costs the club significantly more over the long-term by refusing to meet the valuations of quality players like Aubmeyang, Lacazette, Tagliafico etc. Then we end up paying over the odds for players like Muto, Joelinton etc.

Yes, certainly.

 

Just as annoying is the lack of effort in identifying the talent that can be had for reasonable fees. It's not an impossible approach, but it's clear we don't really do it properly.

We should have done everything we could to have got Brentford's Director of Recruitment Phil Giles on board, he's a massive Newcastle fan and his work at Brentford has been incredible thus far

For a "Savant" and amazing businessman, he's absolutely shite at making money.

 

Think it’s more that he knows fuck all about football and is scared of hiring anyone who’s not a complete yes man.

Unless he hangs out in London pubs and restaurants throwing up in fireplaces I doubt Ashley even has a clue of his existence. It's just horrendous man.

Christ. We've got nobody at the club that knows anybody in football. Even Bruce. I bet beyond shaking hands with the opposition manager he doesn't even give a nod of acknowledgement to the other staff. He only shakes the managers hand cos it's on the telly.

And look at the talent we let go or give away: Abeid, Mbabu, etc.  Not world beaters any of them but very solid squad players at least.

 

Most of the young players we have let go haven’t been good enough or gone on to be a premier league level player  and they wouldn’t get a game for us now other than probably Mbabu.

Find it strange that people are arguing against Abeid being a solid squad player

 

In the time he was let go , we regularly had Colback in midfield  :lol:

 

Not to mention even just last season, we had garbage like Bentaleb, Schar (as a midfielder) in there, couple that with the distinctly underwhelming performances of Longstaff, and there's seriously not a case of Abeid being a good option?  ???
