I’m glad we spent that much, but it’s not worth anything unless we do better on the pitch. Some people seem to think that spending money means staying in the league, but it would still be almost miracle to stay in the league with our record so far.

LRD Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Can we at least play some games with our new signings before we make a conclusion? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Norwich has won 4 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, unless Big Joe performs at an insane level for the rest of the season, I don’t think he should be anywhere near the starting eleven next season after a recruitment drive.

We are fortunate that the league is stinking this year and so many teams are still around us even though we have only won 2 games. The stats from the past don’t really match up to this season due to that. We were lucky we picked this year to start utter wank Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Norwich has won 4 games. Leicester had never won the PL before they did, that’s football. Stats and records are there to be broken. It’s interesting because the original stat was “nobody has ever survived with 1 win in their first 14 games”, well Everton have just gone their most recent 14 games with only one win. In our sequence we actually got more points too. You survive by being slightly better than three other teams, at this current rate that doesn’t look too difficult.

Slim Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 https://sportearly.blogspot.com/2022/02/eddie-howe-can-officially-bring33m-star.html?m=1 Lille president Oliver Letang has revealed that Sven Botman, who has been linked with a move to Newcastle United, will leave the club in the summer.

LRD Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Yea, he said in a recent interview that this is his last season with Lille. Good that the club is willing to let him go too. Hopefully we can secure him despite other suitors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Interesting how they've both come out with that statement. It's rumoured we went back in for him at the end of the window, wouldn't be surprised if they've agreed a deal with us contingent on us staying up.

Newcastle Fan Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Seeing how terrible Lille were yesterday against PSG he would've been better off joining us, i guess the fact that they still are in the champions league kept him with them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hummels and Nerlinger went from Bayern to Dortmund. And Goetze eventually made his way back via Bayern too. Think he’s missed a trick not moving abroad at this stage, but it’s not the worst move I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix711 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Post takeover, I'm glad he's ended up at Dortmund and not Chelsea. I know we can't challenge those teams yet but would love teams like Man Utd's attack to still be Ronaldo and Cavani when we can challenge. The best need to come to us, and only us!
