Looks like he might have had enough Rafa Benitez asked if he could guarantee that he wouldn’t walk out if he wasn’t properly backed in the transfer market by Thursday night: “No, I cannot guarantee anything. “We will wait until Thursday and see what happens. Just go Rafa & good luck we're sorry you've been treat like a fool by these daft bastards but don't worry their day will come

Or he could save it until Friday when he's bugger all to lose

Ashleys probably got Oddbins in his sights as they look to go in to administration. Transfer window, what transfer window.

I'm hoping he calls the bastards out at Friday's press https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/17388341.leicester-to-offer-benitez-a-summer-escape-from-newcastle/ Lesta ?

Fuck off man he's never changed since he waddled into SJP . You sir are a toss pot.

Rafa's Man City presser Rafa Benitez asked if Newcastle are still active in transfer market?: “Yes.” Asked if still hopeful of signings? “I don’t know.” When asked about the Jordan Lukaku deal not happening: “I will not talk about transfers.” Is this a difficult window to do deals "I don't know I don't do deals" FA Cup exit: “We were disappointed (to go out of the FA Cup) but we have to concentrate on a very, very difficult game (against Man City).” Tuesday night’s match: When you play against Man City, you have to forget (about the cup) and make sure you do the right things on the pitch. “The midfielders are still very close (to returning), but not ready for this game, so it’s more or less the same. “The only one we have lost is Joselu, with a twisted ankle. “No (Jonjo) Shelvey, no Ki (Sung-yueng), no (Mohamed) Diame, no Dummett either. Darlow is getting better and he will be fine later this week. “I’m confident that we can do well (against Man City) but at the same time, we have to do everything perfect to have a chance. “If you analyse the way they can play, they have three or four of the fastest players in the Premier League. “They won the title because they’re a very good team. “They have everything but we’ll try to use our strengths.”

Expecting to see Lakaku in the squad for Lazio V Juventus tonight

Today was the start of 7 days that will probably define the rest of the season for us. Saturday Dumped out of the FA Cup at the 4th Round Tuesday Home game against Man City were we'll probably get a 4/5 -0 frashing Thursday The window closes with no signings Friday Rafa's Spurs Presser hopefully he hangs Ashley & his bastards out to dry Saturday Away to Spurs another loss & the real chance of being in the bottom 3 again. I know it's an awful way to think but honestly I think Rafa leaving & relegation for a few seasons is the only way we'll get rid of this arsehole. I hate saying this, but this is no longer the club we all fell in love with all those years ago. The club's a shadow of its former self & has had the life blood sucked out of it by that bastard . Anyway this week will be a defining week not only for the rest of the season. But with Rafa's inevitable departure at the end of the season probably for a long time to come. Fuck you Asley we dont deserve you & you dont deserve us.

Rafa's Post Match Comments I will not talk about players. I have no idea whether anything is close. Rafa was asked whether he can get anyone in before Thursday. "I have no idea" he replied

0-3 What Ford this will be keeping Ashley's record intact also starting with Joselu

I sort of understand why Rafa's been embarrassed/reluctant to talk about transfers while the windows been open. But surely by Friday the gloves should be off with Rafa having nothing to lose. Also the local journo's should be asking him if the not signing an extension no transfer money story was true. Also how many players were on Rafa's list. Plus does Rafa have a future at Newcastle or is this the final straw. We'vs all been very patient & he's not been pushed on transfers etc. But I think by the time we get to this Fridays presser we deserve some answers.

These football agents must piss themselves laughing after trying to negotiate with Charnley.

This thread title needs amending to "We do not discuss players" or "The embarrassing thread"

Ha ha ha ha we can't even get a loan player over the line. I hope Rafa hangs them all out to dry at his presser next Friday, the set of bastards.

I hope everyone joins in,there are plenty of rackets they just need lots of balls

Getting these loan players will hurt the team long term. Next season we will up to now be 3 players short. As Lakaku, Kenedy & Rondon return back to their clubs, given their ridiculous buy out clauses. Also West Brom let it be known early on they would be interested in buying Gayle. So in fact we'll be 4 players short Ashley's asset stripping of the team continues the bastard. Anyone for tennis on Tuesday night before the Man City game ?

£19 million option to buy mind

Aye he seems canny only started 19 Serie A games in 2 & a half years while being on the bench 55 times. I'm sure Rafa's ecstatic.

Spurs are said to be interested in buying Almiron they see him as a stand in for the injured Dele Ali

Charnley probably shit his pants at the thought of having to negotiate

It's not really that though is it mate it's the fact that these will have been Rafa's 4th or 5th choices on his list. Also I doubt they'll be match fit so won't play straight away.

Both of them can't even get a start for their club's & they're supposedly coming to play in the fastest league in the world. Fanks but no fanks.

Looks like a couple of loans Rafa again getting what he needs not what he wants Rafa Benitez keen to get a double deal done in time for the weekend. Sources in Spain this morning also confirmed an approach for Atletico Madrid's Gelson Martins after Benitez had moves for both players sanctioned by Mike Ashley following a short meeting at the weekend. Both deals are loan offers until the end of the season with scope for permanent moves afterwards, but for Benitez the main concern is bringing in the required cover for his squad. Like Gelson, Barreca has struggled to get game-time this season with just seven starts to his name in Ligue 1 this season for relegation haunted Monaco. Monaco boss Thierry Henry has sanctioned the player's exit on loan and it is now down to United to strike a deal for a loan fee and the player's personal terms.

Wise is a shithouse

I predict a very mild disturbance
