astraguy Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Alot of our fans are becoming Fanny's already, believing we could and should be recruiting already over priced players. Can't wait till next season if we do make the cl or uefa cup, I sense we'll fight inside the top 8 and I'll be happy with that.But the mong's will have the knifes out for wor eddie and it'll end like the sir bobby saga again...

Toonjam88 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Some of the people questioning Howe and our recruitment team and saying they would rather sign nobody than Gordon need to have a long hard look at themselves and then see where we are now compared to a year ago.

JP Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Christ. We're an injury away from Jacob Murphy starting RW every week. Gordon absolutely improves our first 11, and then our squad depth as a knock on. An aside to that is 15 months ago we had Mike Ashley and Steve Bruce at the club. FFS give Ashworth, Howe etc the respect and trust they have more than earned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) If signed and he gives his all, scores a few goals with some assists thrown in then by the end of the season everyone that’s doubting will have warmed up to him anyway (regardless of whatever the price may be). It’s unreal to me people will question the targets management identify as players who will improve the squad, if what Howe and co have done so far doesn’t win you over enough to accept that they know better then what will?

Away Toon Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 3 hours ago, The Prophet said: I'd also say that the recruitment team have so much credit in the bank, it's hard to doubt them at this point. We've had two windows of near enough flawless recruitment (insert Wood debate here). That's not to say they aren't capable of making mistakes, but they've earnt the benefit of the doubt. I think the jury is also out on Targett, who is reasonable defensively but doesn't add much going forward. More importantly Howe seems to much prefer playing Dan Burn as LB. I'm sure this position will get upgraded pretty quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggys First Goal Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Everybody saying we should go for Maddison instead: wasn’t there something earlier this week reported that he didn’t want to come to Newcastle? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGRM Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Everyone going on about the price tag of Gordon. Personally couldn’t give a flying chip-butty because its not my money. Howe and the new people have more than earned my trust on bringing players in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they exclusive to each other? Maddison seems more the further point of a midfield 3 whereas Gordon is more of a wide man? Get Gordon this window and Maddison in the summer.

Sima Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I’d be amazed if we were pursuing Maddison so aggressively without having first checked if he wants to come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree, Maddison would be an incredible signing and obviously my preferred choice over a lot of the players we've been linked with. I'm just saying Gordan, although I was really against it first, may be an astute signing and slot nicely into our team and philosophy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Seen this with Lingard, Ekitike, and Diego Carlos, apparently they were signing, never happened. Gordon's probably our poker face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 18 minutes ago, STM said: Leicester wanted 60m or so for Maddison and Gordon will likely be half that (as a starting point), so it's hardly a case of just hoying a few more million onto it. Exactly 🙂 Big difference between £25m plus add ons and £60+m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't it once claimed that 36 year old Sol Campbell was the fastest player in the league? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
