Transfer Rumours The Great Summer Splurge Transfer Window

I'm sure we've spent £140 million and not sold a key player. Jesus Christ even I can't fail to see the massive plus.

 

due to their incompetence and their narrow view of PL proven - he was worth £25m 4 weeks ago.

Every day without a striker means more cost as teams dont want to disrupt their teams for this weekend fixtures and also less time to find a replacement.

 

Or was he?

 

No he was worth £25m last season

 

just splitting hairs now. Not one Newcastle fan would have put Larsen as someone they wanted to buy at the end of last season never mind at £60m price tag.

We now have fans trying to self soothe by say well in our team he will be getting 20 goals a season. I hope he does if he signs but I dont think he will sign. Wolves are doing what Brentford did and stringing us along. It'll be Friday before our recruitment team cotton on that we aint getting him.

 

Why twist it? The issues everyone has is with the striker situation. We’ve spent, what, £130m on a right winger, centre back, centre mid and a goalkeeper. Goalkeeper aside, which you agree is a very underwhelming signing, it’s been ok but to get into the season with no replacement for Wilson and no resolution to the Isak situation is startlingly poor.

Who disagrees with that?

 

How is that splitting hairs? Wolves took a risk last season with a loan and option to buy this season. He did well and they took up said option. We did the same with Hall.

You would be pissed off if we signed some unheard of player from Celta Viga for around £20m.

 

Why would I? What Im pissed off with is most people seem to okay with no strikers for 1st 3 games of season and potentially more. We scraped 5th place on goal difference last season but seem happy to throw points , 5 so far, away.

I don't understand this mentality?

 

They're presently trying to buy one mate..

 

Who is ok with just having Osula as a striker?

That's right, no one.

Is the club trying to buy a striker? Yes. Are we now on our 7th choice? Yes

I’m bipolar so I don’t even remember those kind of things. It’s why I’m so sporadic on here.

I do want to ask but you don’t need to answer do you live in Newcastle?

 

Are Manu losing with 600m of players on the pitch. Yes.

 

Don't even live in the UK anymore mate, left about 7/8 years ago.

Moved to Norway.

 

Nice. Is it as nice as they say it is? And why did you move? Work?

 

Manu losing 2-0 lol. This is brilliant.

 

It's lovely here, clean, safe, lots of work.

I moved because I wanted a change and I was still young, only 22 when I made the move. I started work at 16 and was mostly in offices throughout, by the time I was 22 and still doing the same thing I just needed to do something.

I met my fiance here and now we have created a future nufc player so it all worked out

 

I've seen parts of Norway. Absolutely stunning. Although I expect the winters can be harsh.

 

The thread has now turned into a 606 version of this is your life, with your host Gangsta Ginola.

 

definitely can be but at the same time a bit exaggerated as well. On the west coast were I live, you have more a climate similar to what you'd find in Scotland/Newcastle just a bit colder.

Tons of rain and lots of wind is by far the worst weather, dark days with snow isn't a worry at all.

Northern Norway? horrible weather, horrible winters.
