Watching the confirmed transfers feed is so depressing. Colchester have signed........ Portsmouth have signed........ Exeter City have signed....... Port Isaac under 14's have signed................
Genuinely think its for the fans because, currently, I see no other reason. Mind his daughter is at uni round here, so maybe that's another reason Mike's gambling on pissing him off. Could go to West Ham for a sleeping giant scenario, could go to China for better wages. See him resigning at the end of the window when we sign no one, because even he can't save this ****storm. If he stays, unwavering support is due
I am still hoping (but not expecting) that we might pull a rabbit out of the hat with a decent striking option. I can live with our defence. Mbemba is a decent back up at left back and I think Rafa will be able to marshall them into a decent, if not spectacular, unit. It will all be for nothing though if we don't score goals.
Would take Rossi and Tremoulinas all day long. More likely to end up with Gossip and Semolina as a Newcastle fan
Ian Dennis (BBC) has reported we're keeping Gayle. That's right - NUFC are now pretending that we didn't need a striker in the first place and our glorious board (i.e. Charnley) have steadfastly refused offers from bigger clubs (Fulham). Hoorah for Charnley. Now we have a half fit, disinterested, unwanted no. 9 leading our pursuit for Premier League glory.
I don't get why we are even looking at a keeper,we have 5 on the books(2 on loan) and already Everton sniffing around Woodman,looks like another Foster in the making!
I don't mind us keeping Gayle. He's a not bad OPTION to have, but not as a lone striker. If they think we don't need stronger options they are mad though.
Can only think Benitez considers keeper distribution integral to how he plays. Darlow is incapable, Elliots normally pretty good but has looked gash so far this season and to be fair Woodman I can't comment on. Yeh I don't get it with Woodman, trained with England first team and everybody was raving about him. Why don't we give him a chance before he ****s off
An apparently last min bid for striker Cenk Tosun from Besiktas, but... It is believed that Newcastle will have to make a bid of around £12 million for the target man to meet Besiktas’ valuation but the Magpies are offering only £8 million for the Turkish international. While Newcastle may have managed to get the price down under normal circumstances, they will struggle to do so today as there is very little time remaining in the window and Palace are said to be ready to match Tosun’s price tag.
We seem to have an absolute mental block at this club about playing youngsters. I know keepers are riskier than most, but the old cliche is true. If they are good enough they are old enough.
Ah! Suddenly it all makes sense. We were all set to sell our top scorer, then at the last minute he's reprieved. We're meant to think it's like a new signing.
From the BBC, this isn't aimed at you is it @Lord Jonjomort ? So how stressed are you feeling, Arsenal fans? Screaming at your Twitter feed, Newcastle supporters? Or maybe you're a smug Man City or Man United follower?
I think I might have that sky sports news music at my funeral. I know it always makes me feel depressed and thinking back to better times when I hear it.
