If the player had no other significant interest stopping him leaving reims for the next galacticos then the deal would've been done very easily.
So in summary Roy is his uncle He may sign for us He may not sign for us But wtf ??? Barney bear is a girl !!!!!
I’ve got no idea what this kid is like beyond the usual videos but would like us to get him purely because he appears to be the clubs first choice. They stand or fall due to they choices so I hope as often as possible they get their first choice. The rest is up to them, I’m sure a lot of very experienced people have been involved in the scouting/selection process and I have confidence in Eddie Howe and his team as far as fitness and coaching are concerned. We will just have to wait and see.
Same scout thought Joelinton was our new No 9, then was convinced we should sign Wood (even Bruce disagreed).
Lol that’s true, we’ll just have to wait and see. Personally I’d go for DCL and Sarr but what do I know
Also Hendrick, Lewis coz he’s mint coz Liverpool we’re once linked with him so they’re scouts know what they’re doing, Almiron who they should have realised was only half the player without his fusion buddy, Pre Howe Kraft, those NUFC legends of Grant Hanley, Jesus Gamez, Mat Selz, Jacob Murphy etc
1. We don't know what names Nixon and his team presented to Charnley only the names the previous regime coughed up enough for. 2. We don't know what say Bruce had in signing players, but it was widely reported he chose Hendrick and others. Ultimately we do not know better than the scouts and we do not know what restrictions were involved financially previously, but we do know they were operating on a shoe string. The time to judge imo was from January and so far I could make a case that every single signing has been very good and hasn't cost huge amounts.
not only that but players signed before then started to look instantly better with (a) better players around them and (b) better management, training, approach to matches etc etc. Proof if ever it was needed that we were exactly where we should have been with Bruce/Ashley/charnley combination running the show and with all of the above now gone, we are now heading back to where we should be!
I think people might dislike this guy, but I think he's right about this. It became obvious in January actually.
Yes that's a very good point even Krafth looked the full sweedish International they bought. I get the impression this current squad would do fine next season even if we don't sign anyone else.
They'll get one and it'll seem underwhelming plus 2 or 3 other players for other positions, but any newcastle fans holding on to hopes of signing Paqueta, Diaby or anything even remotely as exciting that are way off the mark.
