Sadly Sadly the manager hasn't realised shelvey is the biggest problem at nufc It's all don't to his tune
"I'm sure Monday/Tuesday will be really busy". Well, he's still got a chance to be half right I suppose. IMO - this CB they're chasing is going to be ****ing dreadful. EH - "Durrr. We not score goals much. Me buy striker. Him be big for lot and lot of crosseses." Concede late goal (yet again). EH - "Durrr. We not win again. Lot of goal going in at de wrong end. Defendy man we needses." I wonder how long it'll take dear Eddie to get to the part of the FA Coaching Manual where it says "games are won and lost from central midfield". I'm going to take a punt that he won't be Newcastle manager by the time it dawns on him.
18th day of the transfer window and we've bought 1 ****ing player and Chris Wood. It's now a joke like. Even agreeing a fee for someone today we'll struggle to get them in by Friday such is the lack of speed in which wo do anything.
Howe like Bruce hasn't figured out that jonjo shelvey is dictating the clubs downfall every week for 90 minutes. We haven't even been lucky enough to see shelvey get injured. Howe? All talk and utterly crap at his job so far
Wonder who the second is. It gives me a little more optimism if there is a second and they've managed to keep it out of the media.... Providing of course he's good!
This Diego Carlos is one very error prone defender, apparently. Don't we have enough of those already?
A January transfer window and AFCON meant this was always going to be a tough window. The Wood signing reeks of desperation though
2nd one I'll go with Cantwell, but the number of names linked and the possibility it'll be a name I need to Google mean it's anyone's guess.
Newcastle United have offered a fee of over 30m euros (£25.1m) for Atalanta and Colombia striker Duvan Zapata, 30. (Daily Record) On the way
Aye and knowing our luck his stents would collapse within 1 training session and that will be that. I was okay with the window coming around and for first 2 weeks was alright with it, but spending so much time ****ing about over a few million quid is starting to do my tits in now. You can't make out your the richest wealth fund in the world one minute then expect people to give you players on the cheap the next. Targets and deals should have been arranged prior to window opening not fannying about going from one player to the next every 2 hours.
He's actually a good player, he's pretty fast & direct so well suited to the prem. Duvan Zapata 2018–2020 → Atalanta (loan) 29 goals in 46 games 2020– Atalanta 36 goals in 72 games
Never mind can he kick a ball.......That's 3 stages away from where we're at. Can he stand in a central position so a ball can bounce off his arse would be a start.
