The Prophet Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Smith is comfortably one of the worst players I've seen pull on a Newcastle shirt. A ghastly footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learned from that quickly. Just puts the Championship at time into perspective, we romped the league and he started 31 times We signed loads that summer we signed smith if I remember right Beye Cacapa Faye Rozenhal Geremi Enrique Barton Viduka from the top of my head Thought we were gonna be fucking mint under Allardyce Ahh to be 17 and naive again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 22 hours ago, Dr Jinx said: It’s obviously far too soon to tell if Gordon is going to be a decent or shite signing but facts are that he’s not looked all that amazing so far. Doesn’t mean he won’t, just not right now. But that’s a lot of money spent, if he wished away another 30m+ on a certified dud like McTominay, that would be a lot of negativity from supporters and probably the owners.. I just can’t see him being that stupid. Gordon was a punt.. that’s fair enough, but we need to be bringing in players where the stats/data show exactly what we’re getting. Just like when Bruno signed. We knew we were getting a progressive midfielder. Gordon should have had a couple of assists already tbf, some nice skills on show to create them as well. I think there's a player in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likelylad Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 That game Smith came on against West Brom when we were 3-1 up and we just capitulated. Genuinely one of the most pathetic performances I’ve seen and he was raking in 60k a week man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say he looked like he was at that sort of level but it was a pretty small sample size. He had incredible pace, made great decisions, top technique but I never watched Mönchengladbach and how people perform for their country doesn’t always mirror club form so I’m sure there’ll be others who know how consistent he is/isn’t Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I listened to that this morning. 6 players - LB, CB, 2 x midfielders (you’d imagine one number 6 type possibly, one more attacking), two forwards, (one winger and one adaptable forward/winger is about right Joao Pedro?) Plus trying to shift a load of players out. Whether we can get all our targets is another thing but there’s definitely be 4-5 I think and 6 would be fantastic.
