Booooooooo, boooooooooo and f*****g booooooooooooooo Always one jobsworth with the “rules” to hand. Booooooooooooo.
I hope we get Jorgensen, so when he does something wrong I can shake my fist at the ceiling and yell "JORGENSENNN"
Well we can forget about that one then can't we haha Moussa Dembele has had a offer put in for him and judging by Brendan Rogers comments it was probably us: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42821799
Thanks, we need a stable person whose not foal of themselves to make sure there’s no hurdles to overcome in keeping expectations flat.
Just watched his highlight reel from last season. Holy **** the Dutch league is awful, particularly defending. I reckon Joselu would look like a £20m player in the Eredivisie.
I can’t believe I am saying this but I think he is going to be an expensive mistake. That league is proper ****e. His goal scoring record isn’t great either. And he is in a team that is better than the rest. I actually don’t think a striker is primary target. I think we need more quality midfielders to get more possession and create more chances for the strikers we have.
Don’t think it matters what we need, we haven’t got anywhere near enough competence or ambition to do a damn thing about it.
I think your right but not on chances we create but don't finish imo. Need a top finisher at the club.
the number of sitters that Joselu has missed would seem to indicate that we are making chances. If we had scored 4 or 5 more goals since August we would be comfortably mid table. If we can get someone to put the ball in the net 5 or 6 times before May, we should be able to stay up.
The thing that sickens me the most about this club is this: About 18 months ago, Nikolai Jorgensen, a then 25 year old, was available and bought for £3m. Not a back-alley transaction, but Leverkusen and Feyenoord involved. Even in the Championship, we easily had £3m and could beat Feyenoord on wages - look at what we spent on Mo fcking Diame. Where are NUFC then? Davie Selke, although only tenuously linked, moved just 6 months ago from Leipzig to Hertha Berlin for around £7m. Leipzig are well known to English clubs, with Liverpool recently signing one of theirs for, what, £50m?? Where are we then? In July 2015, Josh King moved to Bournemouth for £900k. We were put off by his £20m+ price tag. But where the **** were Newcastle in 2015? Willian Jose, from Maldonado to Sociedad, July 2016 - £5m fee. Where the **** were we? Vincent Aboubakar, actually on loan last season at Besiktas, £2m the fee for a year. Porto bought him for £10m in 2014. Where are we, all the time?? This is what fcks me off about Ashley more than anything. You go in a SD shop, try getting service. He employs skeleton staff as it contributes to bottom line. I cannot get why, in 10 years of being a moron, he doesn't realise that you need to spend money to make money in football? We need a deep reaching scouting network, if the model is buy cheap/sell high. Instead we have essentially one ****ing scout, and even he came on the cheap from the u-21's. If you're not going to bother scouting talent, you need other networks to exploit contracts - this is what Carr did, he used connections to find out who was cheaper than they should be. Had no bearing on whether the team needed them! But we got good deals and a very good season. But it can't last - it was a trick that had a shelf-life, teams became much more aware of contracts which is why all these insane release clauses exist now. We didn't evolve from the "can we get a bargain" model, so we're sat here complete fcked by the incompetence of the owner.
For what it's worth, I think Jorgensen is about Joselu's level. I personally hope we miss out, 'cos it looks like another Rafa doozy. Also, from Talksport, Marcel van der Kraan reckons he'd really struggle and isn't worth anywhere near £20m.
If you have £20m to blow on a striker and your options were Dembele or Jorgensen I know who's door I'd be banging on. Maybe the Jorgensen thing is a smokescreen, or brinkmanship again. 2nd bid rejected so we try for someone else in the hope Feyenoord back down and say alreet ya fat ****, giz £17m and we'll call it a deal ! Job done. What a prized ****ing bell end he is!
