Maybe Rafa is trying to make sure the money he has been promised is spent as wisely as possible? Maybe he says "try and do it for this and then we can go for him"
Well that's incredible, so Rafa must have chosen to half the wage bill and pick up 5m players. That was definitely what he was told. See he's saying this in May, how did that window end? Nar Rafa's not a liar, but he was told lies. Easiest form of appeasement is "we only didnt spend in jan because all that lovely money is coming this season, honest" You think Rafa was finding out we couldn't use 40k for a goalie when he knew the budget and shifted five players out at the end with no incomings? Was that just to even the books? Barmy thought trail that. I still have confidence he will keep his word. Clearly didnt though did he
Rafa's transfer record is patchy. He has of course signed some gems in the past, but some of his signings have been dog ****. The more i see of this Jorgenson, the more i hope it falls through. Give ****ing Mitrovic a chance or buy someone like Dembele. If we spend 20 mill and this guy turns out to be duff then Ashley is going to think twice sbout spending money in the future.
Comes on a Newcastle forum, talks about Newcastle, receives a reply about Newcastle= gone fishing. That is some Fredor-esque grasp of forums!
I think it's not that Pouchy is Fredor. It's more that Fredor is Pouchy. Guilty as charged. Case closed. Ban the ****.
He'll only try to buy everyone off with his imaginary free tickets to his imaginary corporate box at St James' Park.
Gianfranco Shola@youmeandnufc 9h9 hours ago 2011 it was Brian Ruiz 2012 it was Mevlüt Erdinç 2013 it was Loic Remy 2014 it was Bafetimbi Gomis 2015 it was Bafetimbi Gomis again 2016 it was Berahino 2017 it was Andros Townsend 2018 it will be Jorgensen But I am sure this year will be different #nufc We do turn our sights to some real quality...
This sort of actually makes a little sense. However the infrastructure of top level people at the club I believe hampers the negotiations etc. The scouting network and staff are poor. The lack of communication is awful. We try to milk transfer sales for top dollar and do the complete opposite with signings. Not a bad thing if it works but what happens is we generally end up missing out on our targets. We try to save a million here or there and make an extra million here or there without looking at the bigger picture. Saving a couple of million at the expense of being relegated is just utter nonsense. The simple fact is it is 27 January and we have not bought or sold a single player. NOT ONE. Even player sales seem to drag out. Why is Mitro saivet and colback still at the club? Unfortunately I do think it’s a lack of quality on Charnleys side. He could employ the right people to help him but I think he would feel threaten by people who actually know what they are doing. And honestly some of our signings over the last 2-3 years have been absolutely crap. Gamez Lazaar Hanley Diame Saivet Doumbia (loan) Sels Manquilo Joselu rivière de jong thauvin cabella. None of who are premiership quality. All of which where a complete waste of money.
The closer we get to Wednesday, the more this becomes a case akin to a starving child being offered cauliflower cheese and being taunted with the classic "don't cut your nose to spite your face". An impossible choice. Whichever one you pick, you're ****ed. I reckon Jorgenson would score 2 goals and miss many millions, before spitting all over our relegated corpse, by going back to the Nether-regions with a Sports Direct half-price sticker on.
You can only employ if there’s headcount. Ashley runs this like his zero hour sweat shops. As you say saving pennies but losing millions. Guys a ****ing moron, no mistake.
