Christmas Tree 3997 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Classic CT contrariness. The one transfer window for a while when there's genuine excitement, despite the fact we were relegated, that we finally have a quality manager who Ashley is backing and he doesn't fancy his signings. Which of the signings really excite you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19720 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I think they'll all do well in the championship. They key point you're choosing to ignore is we have a top manager who wants to be here and is being backed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Im not sure why anyone would expect "exciting" signings when we're a championship club Because we have Rafa, Because we have lots of money etc etc .

I think we've been here before....."brilliant signinging, credit to Mike.....is he any good??!" Â Even if we signed the best young player from the u21 squad of a perennial champions league club how the fuck would you get genuinely excited about him when you're, by your own admission, the least qualified person on here to make any comment whatsoever about players from other clubs?

Dwight Gayle is probably as good a signing as we can make given our circumstances. I think I can see the pattern of your wummery for the coming season, "try to discredit stuff Rafa does, that'll drive them fuckin mad" Â What group they come from is irrelevent to my point, for most normal people it's difficult to get excited about someone and indeed a subject they know fuck all about. Â Do you want a 23 year old who has been on loan to four or five different clubs, in and around the lower reaches of the premier league/bog standard championship sides, that he's quite plainly not good enough for, to provide excitement for you? That's basically what you're suggesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact remains that you wouldn't have a fucking clue who they are though. He could sign Ibrahimovic and you'd have to ask if he's any good.

You wouldn't know a decent loan signing if he ran up and bit you on the arse. Whether I know about a player in advance has fuck all to do with getting some good loan signings. There's plenty of players bought and loaned who I've never heard of until we are interested in them. That doesn't mean fans then can't get excited about them. Â I'd never heard of Cabaye, but it was obvious from the press / fans he was a good player, therefore as a fan I could get excited. Â Asking me about who they may be, given my well proclaimed lack of interest in watching anyone but Newcastle is about as childish as it's possible to get on the Internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't honestly tell me Dwight Gayle got you excited or that you would be upset if Rafa brought in a couple of prem loan signings. It's not a low blow at all and the ridiculous argument is yours. You're advocating bringing in loan signings who you don't know with the only justification seemingly being if we can only get them on loan they must be better players. I already stated in the Hayden thread that I'd prefer not to bring in loan players as it only benefits the parent club so no I wouldn't be particularly happy if we brought in loan signings. I'd only be happy about it if it brought in a quality player who's ready to walk straight into the team. Clubs don't loan those sort of players out to second tier teams though. They loan young kids they want you to develop or problem players. I don't see how it benefits us to bring in either. For the record, Gayle doesn't massively excite me but I do think he's good enough to get 15 goals + this season. I'm also confident Mitro will score 20+. Neither of those players excite you but are more than capable in the league we are in. You only have to look at the records of players like Cameron Jerome, Abel Hernandez and Danny Murphy. In this league they've banged them in but they all have considerably worse records than our strikers in the premier league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
