So, still other people's opinions, not your own based on evidence? Out of interest, when did you actually last attend a Newcastle game, home or away?
Yep, does it matter? Is their view invalid, but your single friendly game is the right one?! Ooooooh, one must now attend games to offer opinions?! Right you are. I’ll get myself a ticket for Southampton lickety split, shall I?
That's not what I said, I would simply suggest that you can make a better judgement when you see something in real time, rather than relying on other people's possibly biased opinions. It doesn't really bother me in the slightest whether people attend games or not, doesn't (for me) define a "supporter" - I'm saying that you can get a better perspective on performance (team or individual) by actually seeing the whole of the game not that offered by TV, reports, opinions etc
Was going to post this earlier but got distracted at work! While a new first choice keeper like Ramsdale or Mamardashvilli would have been immense, I'm ok with Vlachy as he had a good time prior to Forest at Benfica - could have just been settling in at a club that were all over the shop that made him look poor. Made a really good diving, fingertip stop early in the second half on Saturday so as a back up/3rd choice he's an improvement on Gillespie and on par with Dubz for me so it's better depth to the GK department however you slice it. You are right though another injury to Pope injury would be a major concern! Ruddy is a mystery and not sure where that came from in all honesty.
Notice the deal to sell Almiron to the MLS has now also collapsed. We are so ****ing bad at transfers.
What’s he worth? I’ll answer that - what someone’s willing to pay. We keep him another poor year and he’s then worth, what, nothing? Hes a drain on wages, he’s a poor player who’s extremely wasteful and has needed replacing for some time. If we’re paying £10m for 20 year old Osula how is Almiron worth so much more at 30/31 years old? Our transfer policy is hampered because Howe says things like “he’s come back with a big smile so I’m looking forward to working with him”. I mean, ffs, when do we grow up?
As a PSR exercise, how the **** the club couldn’t find a better deal than Anderson swapping for a backup keeper screams volumes for the huge recruitment and squad management issues we have. They had 12 months to work something better out.
Frustrating mate, I know there's still time left but I never thought we would be entering this season weaker than the last. The deals that have been done by other clubs for comparable players for less than the sum we want to pay for one puts our scouting to shame it's like amateur hour recently, how on earth were the scouting and transfers better under Amanda and Merhdad than the professionals we've hired since?
Just seen a stat that Schar has more assists in his Newcastle career (7) than Almiron (6). This is why he’s a £7m player, he’s utter turd.
It was way, way better under Nickson, then Howe promoted his nephew and since then it has more or less turned to utter crap.
Liverpool have agreed terms with Marma, sorting out a deal. Then he will go out on loan because he aims to be number one. Yet another **** up.
Did you know that Miggy scored more goals in a PL season than Rob Lee or Craig Bellamy or Nobby and a few more greats as well?! That’s why we want more. Now collect those toys and put them back in the pram please or there’s no rusk for you!
In best seasons, all three also got a few in Europe so outscored (and considerably out-assisted) Almiron.
