If you have the spending and recruitment policy of a mid table side, guess where you end up, correct; mid table. At the moment we are ninth, not much above Aston Villa. To compete at the top level, you need to invest and refresh the squad all the time. Too many deadweights have reached their sell by date at the same time
Well I'm glad I missed this one, just from reading reports looks like it was an absolute **** show. Never mind the lack of or wrong players bought or the tight fistedness of FSG over the last number of years. The current squad should be embarrassed they can't be arsed to fight. Its starting to feel like they've collectively decided to sack this season off and hope for next.
This is right. It's not that we havnt spent money, but every penny spent has to work out. Every signing has to be near perfect. The midfield hasn't worked out at all.
Come on now lad, I think most on here had alot of sympathy while you where run by Ashley. No need to come the big bollocks now
On signings i would say we have regularly paid over the odds for players Keita , Ox and Jota spring to mind though that isn't hindsight from me as i wasn't keen on either of the first 2 signings and was surprised how much we paid for Jota . Having said that everyone seems to ignore the ****ing big elephant in the room which is our very sizeable wage bill .
He won’t get the chop. Fsg would be even more screwed without him and he’s a huge pull for potential investors.
Hull City have been in more cup finals that your team over the last 20 years, so I wouldn’t come in here and start playing Billy big bollocks, Newcastle supporters just have mangina’s
This is the thing. It looks an odd signings. Until you see that ox is still playing up top even with the signing of gakpo. Think it might be signal that firmino is going end of season mind. Lw - gakpo Diaz (both good age) cf - Nunez Jota (good age) RW - Salah doak (old plus young) plus Jota or diaz can cover. Think that’s alright now. Missing s left footed winger to cover/replace Salah but given we’ve given him new contract have to think he’s going no where. Now I can see why we’d gk for gakpo if opportunity came up. Jota diaz firmino all injured. Nunez and Salah only 2 fit. Get another in and we’ve got a front 3 to hopefully fire in some goals. yes we need new midfielders but we have bodies. I keep saying it, yes quality might not be there but we have so many options, it would make the squad/harmony/training so much more awkward if we went and got a couple more. Hendo fabinho thiago milner keita ox jones eliott 8 players Add in 1 or 2 more.. and having to leave 6 out, 3 probably out the whole squad!
