no, sorry, I'm not playing today!Learn punctuation, young man. Fixed.
Howay. We've signed Kenedy. We're in hot pursuit of others. Should these materialise, you all know what you have to do:

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![]()
People might say "you need 40m for a striker" but I think you will find plenty of strikers who have got goals in the last few years who have come in for around this mark or less, so I'd hope that excuse is not rolled out.
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”Slimani, Khouma Babacar, Willian Jose, Abel Hernandez I would think all would come in around the 15-25m mark. Most around 20m. One significantly less (Hernandez)
That is me just watching the TV though. I think Rafa has scouts or something. Just a rumour I've heard.
I'm not sure how strong Rafa's pulling power is as he'd be competing with the likes of Palace, Everton etc. Most of those clubs are seen as preferable destinations as to us as a newly promoted side so Rafa will have to work some magic. So I can understand if Rafa doesn't manage to sign anyone. As I say I agree with Rafa, January is a tricky market and its difficult to get deals done. You only want to be signing players that you want. So anyone who comes in its because Rafa thinks they will add something and are good value. I know its difficult for fans to swallow this but its the truth, he's not saying it for a laugh.

Which is it Pouchy?
Or are you going for both options to cover Sir Mike’s back?

So far you’ve only bunted to first base.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.

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?
What the linesman pushing, player head-butting, Ashley mouthpiece Alan Pardew wasn’t liked!!! Knock me down with a feather.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).

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.Just look at the players you list, what sets the first bunch apart? Pace and movement. Slow players from the Eredivisie pretty much always fail.
He'll get support, but if it is this lad, he looks bang average. I'd have more faith in Brighton's new signing, Locadia.
For me, I'd put my house on him failing. He's only just hit a decent bit of form, at 27 ffs. Before that he was doing "ok" in the Danish league (!) having failed at both Leverkusen and Koln. It just looks like our "scouts" searched online for top scorers - and I fail to understand how our last two lumps from that league, including LDJ from Feyenoord, haven't set alarm bells ringing.
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.
