So, beyond spending about 6 months signing just two players. Newcastle have now progressed to taking over 5 weeks to sell a player, even when a decent price has been agreed. With the manager spending the entire time whispering sweet nothings in his ear about how much he's loved. Only we could be bought out by a murderous regime and become even bigger ****ing pussies.
Think it's gonna be very difficult for us mate. We have big problems at LB and CB, Schar is bound to get crippled eventually, he's spent about 50% of his time at the club injured. Then we have Lascelles at CB, LB? If Targett is injured we are left with Dan Burn and Paul Dummett. I dunno, I don't look at our entire squad and see something that can manage CL and the Prem. Villa are looking real strong too.
They will try and go for both, I'm sure, but it won't do us any good. I'd love us to focus on the league and pot, we are well overdue any type of trophy. If we want to keep progressing, keep earning money and keep signing players, we need to keep finishing within the top 6/7. A decent CL run and finishing 12th is really not going to do anything for us.
Not sure about that. But alot of it depends of whether Liverpool and Chelsea get their acts together I think. Liverpool I think, based on the back end of last season, should be back up there. Chelsea are a bigger doubt. Man City will be top 4, no question, probably United and Arsenal too. That really leaves one spot, and my money's on Liverpool. Saying that, isnt it Top 5 for CL for the PL now? If so, then possibly, if we continue to be ****, and Ange doesnt work out for the spuds. EDIT: Yeah its top 5 for the leagues with the highest two coefficients now, which is the PL and La Liga.
Yeah I guess. A lot of it depends on whether your new signings work out, but I think Liverpool's signings have been pretty astute so far.
Also I think with Klopp, we saw with DOrtmund, when things go badly and the team has a blip, he is prone to a meltdown or two, and even with the change of personnel, it looks like Klopp got some of his confidence and his mojo back in the last 10 games of the season. Didnt Liverpool win 8 of their last 10 or some ****?
well assuming Fabinho & Henderson both go to saudi it will be 7 gone 2 in so never mind astute they better be both really good and indestructible ..
Aye I am banking on at least another 2 signings each for Liverpool AND Chelsea before the window closes though. Cant see it going any other way
we really need 3 as our defence pretty thin and MF cover needed. with your lot i have no idea who you actually have any more as i just can't keep track
