worthy Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 For all their prep and research/work before this window - its been a lot of linking to all sorts of players, and almost no meat. What gives I wonder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful record I will admit that I knew nothing of him until I googled when we gave him the job for the window. But it didnt really give me the confidence either, and now the first winnable game is getting closer and we are stuck with the same squad that couldnt beat a league 1 team. Feeling way more nervous in the bad way rather in the good we can smash them way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izakaya Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 44 minutes ago, HTT II said: One of the good things about Carr is he had great contacts within clubs and knew before we made bids if a club was a willing seller or not or if players had certain clauses we could trigger to engineer a move. I do hope we aren’t just looking at all these players thinking money alone will work, it’s much more complicated. We drastically need to improve our relations with lots of clubs and sadly that’s mostly through agents. Agree, which is why we should have had a DoF well sorted and bedded in before the transfer window opened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 DOF should have been a priority before the opening of the transfer window, I’m just hoping between them all we can sign some quality players, Trippier’s signing does bode well he’s of the type of player we need more of.I’m still optimistic, it’s 11 days in still!

Scoot Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 If we've not seen something concrete by tomorrow evening, its the same squad for Watford. Scary with it been such a huge game but I suppose they're doing all they can... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macphisto Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 All this talk about Carr, we're looking back on his time with very rosy glasses. He worked with one or two agents in our nearest neighbouring country where agents and players were sold on the idea that players could come to Newcastle for a year or two and were then guaranteed to move on if they performed well. In the process, the player and agent received big payments/bonuses in quick succession. We were an easy introduction to the Premier League for players with no pressure as they only had to avoid relegation. Do we really want Newcastle to still be selling itself as a stepping stone? Carr wasn't that great, if he was then he would not have stayed at Newcastle for so long. He would have gone elsewhere where he could have signed all these "supposedly" missed players.

Yup, I mean Carr was a good scout but he wasn’t a director of football. The club was a rudderless ship under Ashley i can’t even fathom how we ended up spending most of our time in the premier league given his appalling decision making.
