Minhosa Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 5 hours ago, Dr Venkman said: I think Ramsey is being overlooked here, as usual. Expect him to come into his own in this respect as he becomes more comfortable at the club. He's not a leader which was the point I was making. I’ve said from day 1 I thought he’d be a good buy and maintain that but he’s not a strong character at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 13 hours ago, STM said: Our transfers prior to last summer had been superb. Its easy to be critical of the club when entirely ignoring a rigged system or our problems with DoFs coming and going or our star striker throwing his toys out of the pram. Yes there have been mistakes but our fans vastly over dramatise them and vastly overestimate how well other clubs do in their transfer windows. Arsenal for example had terrible transfer business... until they didnt. Liverpool "won the window", until they didn't, Chelsea, Man Utd (until last summer) and Spurs have cocked up more transfer windows than I've had dinners. The only club that consistently get it right can sign whom they want, when they want, without punishment. As for looking longingly towards Brighton or Bournemouth, while there are lessons to be learned from those clubs, the day we start adopting their strategy is the day we might as well pack in. Weve made mistakes, its not (necessarily)an indicator towards the future. Bang on this, the discussion seems to be about absolutes and not the intricacies of what went wrong, over-dramatisation and under-appreciation. So much went against us and at a time that no one was steering the ship, so many mitigations in a sea of mishaps and adversity. This summer, with the deck stacked more favourably, will be much better and will right a lot of wrongs and next season will put this season where it belongs, in the archives of lessons learned.

r0cafella Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 https://www.dailymail.com/sport/football/article-15837177/Newcastle-transfers-Gordon-Belgium-Tonali-PIF-stake.html Linked with Fernandez-pardo from Lille. Any goodm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidg Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I Dennis Wise'd him last night. An almost meritless way to look at a player, yes, but he looked better than that El Mala I see getting so much hype. El Mala looks a Gyokeres battering ram, this Pardo lad seemed to have much better feet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) 3 good options to replace Gordon with Nusa, Banzouma Toure and this lad from Lille. I was big on Nusa but don’t think he’s had the best season, the lad from Lille looks a real talent and might be the best of 3.

Fak Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I'm sure last summer Hope delivered two exclusives: 1. Newcastle only had £60m to spend in the summer 2. Newcastle plot £60m move for Cunha Hope's only good for digging up the dirt on managers. He's success rate on transfers must be pretty low. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) Won't get excited about any signings until they're officially announced.

We've been burned too often recently from exciting links whee we just got gazumped at the last minute. I don't take any links on here seriously tbh. It's nice to speculate, but no way I am going to get my hopes up knowing that the cartel clubs are also watching us like hawks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope is ideal when covering a club in disarray He is also the polar opposite when trying to deliver positive narratives Wouldn't be a surprise to learn that his favourite characters in Harry Potter are the Dementors who live to suck joy and happiness from the world Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
