Would have been better being managed by Eddie rather than an absolute roaster like McClaren. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also looked at him in the first transfer window after the takeover. Also says that he is open to the move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I actually thought Donny looked like a really good footballer a couple of seasons back. Couldn’t figure out why he wasn’t given more opportunities at Man U but I wouldn’t go anywhere near him right now. Eddie is a master of bringing out the best in people and developing them but we shouldn’t be looking to go with work-in-progress / failed potential players unless there’s a strong case for it and with Donny there’s no case whatsoever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was it about his banter Tuxedos with The Chancellor told you he didn't want to be here? Most of that boils down to man management. Can't imagine McClaren being as personable as Howe.

He wasn't even supposed to sign for us in the first place as he had signed for Lille, but something weird happend where the transfer was cancelled, we came in and swooped him up instead. https://onefootball.com/en/news/florian-thauvin-on-time-at-newcastle-i-thought-my-career-was-fued-22565986 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gate4 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I still can't believe the stupid career decisions players from that great Ajax team made. De Ligt going to freaking juventus instead of Barcelona, wtf was he thinking (that's what you get for listening to raiola). Van de Beek going to manure and Ziyech to chelsea and it turning out exactly how you'd expect. In fact, I struggle to understand why any player willingly goes to manure or chelsea (unless it's money you absolutely won't find anywhere else), it's career suicide in what have been obviously shitty situations due to how the teams are ran.

Matt1892 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Going back to Carlos Alcaraz, someone made a video of his performance again us in the cup at St Mary’s. This was 2 weeks after he joined. You can see why Benfica might have wanted him to replace Enzo, he plays like a more mobile Bruno in the clips. https://twitter.com/nufcgallowgate/status/1666143250598461441?s=46 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I think we signed Targett, Pope and Botman in June 2022, so I'd be surprised if we aren't active relatively early. You know Eddie will want as many as possible in before pre-season too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
