It probably is the former but you wouldn't put it past being the latter i.e. Charnley's incompetence

Rafa “fuming”, says experienced North East writer John Richardson: Normal service resumed. @NUFC miss out on transfer target. Rafa fuming. More incompetence from those charged with getting the deals over the line.

Ashleyout.com Another farcical transfer window under Mike Ashley playing out as usual yet again. Sell up and GET OUT OF OUR CLUB.

Rafa Benitez spoke to Daniel Sturridge in person, but he's chosen to join West Brom. Sturridge has family in the area and that was part of the reason for his decision. [Northern Echo]

Striker Daniel Sturridge set for medical at West Brom later today. Loan to end of the season..

Guess its back to the Pannini sticker book for Charnley

At least we enquired

Caulkin tweeted Sturridge was supposed to travel north at lunchtime, he didnt

It's just an enquiry though mate we know how they turn out

BREAKING NEWS Sky sources understand Newcastle have made an enquiry to Liverpool about taking Daniel Sturridge on loan. Their number one target remains Feyenoord striker Nicolai Jorgensen, but they’re exploring alternatives. Newcastle have had two bids, the latest being £15m, turned down for Jorgensen with Feyenoord wanting £20m. We've made an enquiry

Good signing big wages £120k a week

Newcastle United are handed deadline of 6pm Monday evening to come up with an acceptable bid for Feyenoord’s Nicolai Jorgensen, according to reports.

We're ok then Alex as we've only borrowed Kenedey.

Pardew's West Brom set to sign Troy Deeney for £18 million Stoke City are in advanced talks with Galatasaray over a £15m purchase for Senegal midfielder Badou Ndiaye

Charnley will have l been told to flick through his pannini sticker book picking names at random to feed to the media.

We might as well concentrate on the Burnley game because there's bugger all happening here.

For a man of this calibre & stature in the game the way Ashley's treat him is nothing short of a disgrace. Yet McClaren got virtually an open cheque book ffs disgusting.

Cheers

Rafa Benitez The Newcastle fans are clever especially the ones on toontastic except that T dansmith what a tosser

Rafa was asked if he would stay at Newcastle if he was not backed by at least one new signing before Wednesday night: “I have to just worry about Burnley and that’s it. I think the fans are very clever and they know what is going on.” “What I have to do is keep going. I am a professional and I want to do well.” “I am happy with the city, the fans and can see the potential of the club.” “I have to be sure that everybody understands the message, we have the same idea and we are on the same page.” “We have to keep working hard.” “I am sure I will keep working as hard as now with all my staff. We try to improve the team.” “I think if we do anything we don’t have time for this game against Burnley.” “At least we will have time to do something.”

Rafa Benitez: “The Newcastle fans are very clever, they know what is going on. (Asked about any January signings) “I hope we can (still) do something.” Trying to remain positive but looked pissed off.

"You Fat Cockney Bastard Get Out Of Our Club"

Rafa Benitez has told Aleksandar Mitrovic and Jonjo Shelvey to forget about moving to a rival Premier League club in the last few days of the January window. Shelvey is wanted by West Ham United but Benitez isn’t interested in selling the midfielder. He said: “We are not thinking about selling any player to a Premier League team, a competitor because that has no sense. We have to do what we done in August, manage the players we have. “If we go for a player in the Premier League they normally say no. When asked if he would add to his squad, he said: “I hope so. “I will tell you on January 31. “But I hope so. We gave a list of players on January 1. The plan was for an A, B and C.” Rafa gave the list to Charnley on 1st January. The baldy little twat put it down somewhere & cant remember were he put it.

Well worked out
