Howay 12452 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-looking-continent-no-10-14764549 While I hope we are looking for a number 10 I can’t believe how bad the Chronicle is. This article is so badly written it’s pathetic, for a start his subtitle is “Rafa Benitez wants to lure a sign a No 10 for Newcastle United” just proof read your work ffs. He also completely refuses to write number 10, instead using the short cut “no 10” I could just be being a prick here but that just seems needlessly lazy. The article also says absolutely nothing of any note, just that Rafa wants to sign a “no 10” and could be looking abroad and the domestic market . If he couldn’t be arsed to write out number 10 he should have just not bothered his arse writing that nothing of an article. I thought Lee Ryder was bad ffs, that Waugh makes him look competent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5899 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 We are looking at Rondon for £16mil apparently. Would that be our transfer record? He's played 3 full seasons and 9 goals is his highest return. Might as well keep Mitrovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12756 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Rondon looked a handful toward the end of last season but he doesn’t score much which, for a striker, is concerning. I’d say £16 million is too much but every fucker is paying that for anyone these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4201 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 If we're signing rondon we may as well not sign anyone imo, three years of being his clubs first choice striker in the PL and hes never made double figures, hes unlikely to make us any better. Chronicle had a puff piece the other day about players at the WC we will be scouting which had a list of some interesting options from the bundesliga that I'd be more interested in seeing, even if they were just to come in and be fairly average they'd be a better option than Rondon.

David Kelly 1117 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Aye the argument for Rondon is that he could do better in a better team (an argument you could use for any player really) but we aren't really that. We're certainly not very likely to create a boat load of chances for him. He's certainly not a bad player but it just shows you're not going to get a great deal for our transfer record if we're spending on English based players.

However, that looks to be where the good news ends…. The newspaper says that the budget is believed to be very similar to what Rafa Benitez was allowed to spend last season.

Rayvin 4963 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I guess if the club doesn't have the money, it doesn't have the money. Honestly don't see the point in stressing about it now, Ashley is clearly not going to put anymore money in. On the plus side, we should get £20m+ for Mitro which I guess pushes this back to the same sort of figure as last summer. Maybe we can move on another couple of players also.

The accounts released on that were grim. It's disappointing though, I agree. It's as if Ashley has looked at it and decided that we can't spend the money we know we will get for the coming season, and that it only becomes available at the end.

The accounts released on that were grim. We had an £8m overdraft and a loan of £15m from Ashley for the Championship season. Fair enough if we paid off the overdraft but Ashley taking back the £15m loan wouldn't be true to the sentiment that Rafa can have every penny the club generates. Even then there should be much more than £10m to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4963 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 In which case where is the money going? It can't surely be going back to Ashley otherwise he's just setting himself up for obviously being called a liar in a couple of years time when the accounts are released. Is the club just going to sit on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my post broadly supports Alex's one in the sense that he can see an argument for minimal spending on season one after relegation but not in season 2. All I've said is that it seems Ashley is holding the season 2 money back until the end of the coming season. Which is the same as noting that he isn't spending it now, and that he could do so. Has HF done any analysis on the accounts for that season yet, I miss his input into these things frankly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
