LeazesMag 0 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Yeah, cause that never happened under Shepherd..... BA Cabaye Tiote Santon Collo Jonas Cisse Hardly duds eh? Just didn't cost a mint which it appears is how Leazes judges a footballer, the bigger the cost the better the player We sold a £35million player and replaced him with one £10 million signing and a free transfer. Leazes logic denotes that this is simply unacceptable, and you must be a muslim sympathiser and Mike Ashley bumchum if you think otherwise. my logic says there is 25m quid left, for the manager to further improve his team ? Wouldn't you agree, or do you also accept being a selling club again, like we were under the McKeags, Seymours etc ?

Toon_Man 0 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Looks like Mariappa could be on his way then. A distinctly average signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaythesouthernmag 0 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Why the obsession with the money? If the players coming in are as good or better then who cares what they cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't tell me he's shite because they've let in a fair few goals this season - so have Bolton, and Chelsea just bought Cahill for £6m.

jaythesouthernmag 0 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 He's a cb and Pearch isn't. We need cover and that's what he will give. I doubt many people on here can pass judgement on him. I would have thought he's been scouted by the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniffer 0 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I don't know anything about mariappa. I am making the point that you don't load up a squad with deadwood because you want to buy "cover". That is why we have players who shouldn't be anywhere close to the premier league.

ChezGiven 0 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Our recent success in the transfer market doesn't guarantee anything, it should just give people more confidence and perhaps the player a bit of time to settle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon_Man 0 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I guess Mariappa would be better cover than Perch but when the other interested clubs and Swansea and Cardiff you hardly get filled with hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 31 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Pointless bringing in anyone who wont improve the team. As centre halves, that means you need to be better than Williamson and Perch. If thats the case fine. Ive asked my customer who has a box at Watford what this lad is like. As this thread seems to be about repeating yourself over and over, Ill add again that I couldnt give a fuck if the numbers add up, just like I didnt under FFS so long as what is going on on the pitch is good. Which it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why won't people give Obertan time, he's 22 FFS. Collo and Enrique were branded shite early doors (and afair time after). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio 0 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Without wanting to go down the who scouted who route I always thought Calderwood had a big say in us signing Perch, in fact we tried to get the deal done in January before Carr was even here iirc. Speaking to Newcastle's official website, Perch said: 'It's brilliant to finally get here. There was a lot of talk in January and I was close then but to get it signed and sealed is brilliant.

Enrique was absolute gash and we were all screaming for Collo's head. IMO Obertan will only get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 9016 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I know, I was making the point that it's easy to overstate how good the scouting has been since we recently signed Obertan and Perch. Couldn't it be argued that players like Obertan and Best were signed to fill the 2nd tier of the squad? Obertan is not a bad player to bring on from the bench and , as has been said, he's only 22. It's perfectly reasonable to hope that a moderate fee for a bench player who has youth on his side will be repaid in either the kid turning good, or his resale value. re: Perch, he's not a 1st teamer, I don't think he ever has been. However, when we've needed to shut up shop (QPR) he's come on and done his job. We got a bench warmer for a nominal fee. I'm not fussed as long as there are better players ahead of him, which there are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniffer 0 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Obertan is shit and thats coming out of the manure set up which is light years ahead of us in developing players. Perch is one of the worst players I've seen at Newcastle. I'm surprised anybody can think otherwise given their performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Perch has done anything wrong whewn he's been brought on to kill games like. Obertan is 22 and it's his first season at a new club in a new system, think it's harsh to completely write him off. Mind, you've never been mone for positivty have you? You're Yorkshire aren't you?
