Howay. We've signed Kenedy. We're in hot pursuit of others. Should these materialise, you all know what you have to do: please log in to view this image Get some humble pie in your face. In the meantime, I think we should all do a rendition of a great song. Mike Ashley loves Newcastle Its very plain to see Whenever we're in trouble He always finds money He supports our Rafa strongly He never leaves him short Now all we have to hope is He doesn't buy another Carl Cort Rafa's wasted all our money And can't win a bloody home game I hope we get Marcelo Gallardo Then we won't be so ****ing lame All together now
Hmmm, “find plenty of strikers...so I’d hope that excuse is not rolled out” And then “So I can understand if Rafa doesn't manage to sign anyone” Which is it Pouchy? Or are you going for both options to cover Sir Mike’s back?
You've misread. I've said if he spends 20m on a striker that is down to Rafa, no excuses. i.e. don't start saying "yes but we really needed to spend 40m". If he doesn't manage to sign anyone then that is fair enough, it isn't easy. You lot keep throwing the ball, I'll keep smashing it out the park, don't worry.
So far you’ve only bunted to first base. If Rafa is told he can buy a striker for £20M but feels the striker we need and could get get costs £30M and gets the best £20M striker he can, as that’s all he’s allowed to buy, who turns out to be better than what we have but not good enough, how can that be Rafa’s fault?
I think because we all know there are strikers out there for 20m who can do the job we need. People have to remember we are not looking for a top 8 striker. Although Walcott just moved to Everton for 20m.
Lets not forget the crow from the masses was keeping Rafa would undoubtedly help us to sign better players despite our budget. Now the crow is we can't because we don't have enough money. Newcastle fans are fickle as ****. They just adjust their arguments depending if they like the guy (Rafa), or hate the guy (Pardew).
What the linesman pushing, player head-butting, Ashley mouthpiece Alan Pardew wasn’t liked!!! Knock me down with a feather.
Feyenord fans seem to rate him: Bas Vos@Bas1411 18h18 hours ago Replying to @FootballOranje_ No, it makes no sense at all. You never sell your key player in the winter transfer period, certainly not with a week left. Besides, he will be millions more worth after the World Cup, and Van Persie yet has to reach the fitness to play 90 minutes continuously. dh@shieldsmag51 9h9 hours ago How good is Jorgensen mate? Bas Vos@Bas1411 9h9 hours ago Top scorer last season in the Eredivisie with 21 goals, a complete striker, first striker of Denmark, going to the World Cup, so £ 20 million would be a bargain. Mark@Markve_11 6h6 hours ago I personally hope he stays at Feyenoord, he’s one of our best and most important players. Mobin Hussain@Mobs_ 6h6 hours ago From what I can see he has a good touch, decent movement and feet for a big guy and can score goals and link the play well? Is that a fair assessment? Mark@Markve_11 6h6 hours ago You’re absolutely right! For such a big guy like him he’s very agile and fast. You won’t see him miss many one-on-one’s either, he’s lethal in front of goal! Rotterdammert@VaderBezorgde he is much better than locadia But it's all academic anyway. Pete Graves ✔ @PeteGravesSky #NUFC latest: Jorgensen remains striker priority, but last seasons Eredivisie top scorer will now cost more than 20m! Other targets being explored. Rafa and Lee Charnley expected to speak today to move forward. Player sales still unlikely at this stage, but interest in a few. 1/2
I never rate anyone coming out of the Dutch leagues until they've played 10 games, because the list of failures out of that level is much longer than the success list. I'm just glad we're looking at a problem area for us, but I would prefer we brought in a pacey striker, not another slow clogger.
I'm with you hope I'm wrong but this is ****ing bollox... Please if signed prove me so wrong... I'll back him on the pitch but I'm not expecting much.
All I can see is it’s the 25th Jan tomorrow and these ****wits have managed to sign the sum total of Kenedy on loan. A deal that was reported as done on the 29th Dec in the Mail.
Another reason to not be thrilled about this guy - his goal scoring total of 21 last season is the lowest-highest since 1996/97. Others who came to the PL: Afonso Alves (34), Wilfried Bony (31), Memphis Depay (22), Vincent Janssen (27). Worrying really.
