    He said he didn’t want those 5 anywhere near the pitch. They are all in our 25 man squad. Buy two players and we then have a 22 man squad. Simple logic. If you want 5 men out of the squad then you need 5 men to be brought into the squad. Not thin air, is it?

    I don't think anyone was expecting anything happen quickly, but if anyone tells je thry we're expecting to be starting and ending fan with Murphy, Fraser, longstaff every week I'd be very surprised.

    The reality I that the people saying they had brought in enough this summer to avoid another struggle kook like they were correct .

    If Newcastle don't win the next 2 perhaps people might just agree rather than tap dancing and making excuses they never afforded previous regimes and management?

    So you confess that he didn't say we needed to sign 5 players, ignored ignored fact he actually said 2 and have used mental gymnastics to try and avoid just admitting he never said it <laugh>

    You don’t expect anything quickly but then go on to say you expect something quickly.

    As I said to Roly, who would you have not bought that we have except Wood. And where is the money coming from?

    I'll give you an English lesson

    1. We need to replace all 5 of these players this season

    2. I don't want these 5 players near the pitch


    Can you explain the difference?

    We've played 7 games man. If we picked up an extra 4 points every 7 days across the season we would have been in Europe last year.

    We get it. Squad is thin, we are lacking a cutting edge but our best 3 players have been out, we've still only lost 1 game this year and consistently in games. The level of moaning from some fans is unbelievable. It's like it's expected that there is some kind of linear progression towards world club champions that can be completed in 18 months and Saudi ownership is the cheat code. We were absolute dogsh*t this time last year. If you can bring yourself to it's actually possible to enjoy supporting the club again after having to put up with Ashley for so long.

    So this season not the last 2 windows.

    So a 20 man squad and not a 25 man squad.

    You never answered mine earlier when I said can can show me where the numbers are or are just pulling your maths out of your arse ?

    Ultimately nobody has ever said another 5 players should have been brought in.... they've simply said they're useless and a rw and a CM was required.

    All summer fans said the same thing and nobody is doing any harm in saying it.

    The entire fan base moaned this time last year when we drew at Watford

    You know I did because you responded to my answer.

    You’re either wumming or bed wetting, which is it? Try answering my questions otherwise end of discussion as you can try wumming someone else.

    No you haven't mate you made an assertion that Roland said we needed to buy 5 more players this summer, but he of course did not so I corrected you .

    That's all that happened and you've not taken it well for some reason.

    Let's move on ..it's fine for people to criticise when it's due mate .. it's only unfair when they never credit when it's due

    He said 5 players should not be near the pitch. Those 5 are in our 25 man squad. If they are not to be anywhere near the pitch then we will need to replace them. We, therefore, need 5 new players to replace them in the 25 man squad. Come on, it’s not rocket science, is it?

    As for “not taken it well”.

    <laugh>

    As for criticism it has to be reasonable, balanced and constructive. None of which applies to Roly’s criticism.

    And really, move on from Bruce he is history. You don’t need to keep trying to drag him into the conversation all the time. You loved him I didn’t. I could see him for the fraud he is, you couldn’t. He’s gone, I’m no longer interested in him but you do seem slightly obsessed with him.

    He didn't say it.

    1. We need to replace these 5 players in summer

    2. I don't want those 5 players anywhere near the pitch.

    Explain the difference please? :)

    Secondly its not me drawing up the comparisons between this season and last season I responded to it.

    Seeing as you mentioned Bruce again...there's few interesting screenshots from the draws Bruce earned this time last season though

    I have explained already. If its beyond you to follow the logic then there is little point in repeating myself.
