Transfer Rumours The Great Summer Splurge Transfer Window

He's the type of guy to take his family to a hoseasons holiday in a Volvo. Does he ever smile?

 

Well, so far you've predicted that we'd lose to Villa, get something vs Liverpool and lose to Leeds. Hopefully your season prediction is as accurate

 

Weve done worse than I predicted.

Sorry for my positivity guys.

 

Wrong prediction in every fixture.

 

Ultimately we're doing worse than even I expected. I'm actually 1 point away in the season tally... That's true isn't it?

Plenty will be further out.... On like 7 points to 9.

Regardless it doesn't change anything. Interestingly it shows that the bedwetters are closer to the truth than the cult.

 

You're not a true bedwetter though, you just wum around and give their bladders an occasional squeeze.

 

Under the Munson predictions we would be on 3 points

 

That's not the case always mate.

I genuinely don't think this side is going to do well this season.

1. Major goal keeper problem
2. Slow back line
3. Lack of goals, creativity and ability to carry the ball in midfield
4. Toothless forward players that are seemingly all huff and puff. None of them score or create enough.. Murphy maybe but he probably just benefitted from Isak.
5. We're possibly the worst side I ever seen in my life at corners, free kicks and set pieces in general.

Mate these points aren't wind ups... I admit I do like a bit of it, but I'm being serious on this one... They're valid points I feel.

I do think we've got a hard working hands to the pump side, the fwds are troublesome, the midfield is strong in many ways and I like the Woltemade signing, but let's not forget what we've lost in Isak.

We need a little extra all over the park in terms are carrying the ball, creativity, pace, and goals.

With our defense if we have a striker poking in the odd goals we will win plenty of games, but I think top 7 is a massive ask this season.

 

Seem to remember similar garbage being spouted by you last season. You got that one majorly wrong as well.

The season before I was right... Nobody would listen though.. The 3 games element you know.

 

This is the top and bottom of it...

 

So your forecasting is getting worse as time goes by.

 

It is getting worse.. When did Newcastle last win a game? I'm not seeing good signs mate.

Not saying we'll get relegated but the aim is European football again.

 

If Eddies system is to work it can’t be missing 1 or 2 elements.

Not having the striker means the wingers then become ineffective as they are reluctant to do what is natural to them without thinking as they know Osula just isn’t a striker.

Then what happens is they stop making them natural runs which means the midfield 3 then don’t have those forward passes available to them. Meaning they make passes sideways and backwards.

This culminates in a quick breakdown of the game where we start fast and looking steady to then quickly failing.

Then Eddie makes the changes which never influence the game.

That striker position is critical for this team and style of play to work.

Osula just runs around barging into people and giving away stupid fouls.

 

Spends under Eddie Howe since he joined. 733m euros.

That is 638m GBP at today’s exchange rate.

We had Schar Murphy the only 2 players that started yesterday from prior to Eddie. The rest where his signings.

 

I will quote it includes the Woltemade transfer. Which does skew the fee as he hasn’t played yet.

 

Good sides don't rely on one player entirely.
