Noelie 103 Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Be angry, be pissed off, be fuming, be madder than hell, be ballistic, pout if you like, but don't be unduly surprised if this January window closes with nee bugger other than Kenedy coming in to enhance our survival chances. Mind you, I wouldn't be surprised if we get some last ditch mediocre additions on the final day, grasping at straws, pouring burning oil on the troubled waters.

Kid Dynamite 1,159 Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 SSN saying we are interested in Slimani. I know it’s probably bollocks but I’d much rather have him I’ve Luuk De Jong mk2 at Feyenoord. He’s got experience of the league, can play as a target man and isn’t a 1 season wonder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Gloom 2,934 Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 they're going to want a hefty amount of the £30m they paid for him back, aren't they? and he's 29. i don't see the fat man going for this one, though i agree he'd preferable to the untested danish kid.

trooper 420 Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Rafa Benitez kept his cool when questioned about (lack of) transfers on Friday afternoon but was clearly far from happy. The United boss says that he personally doesn’t get involved in the transfers, but stated that he gave Mike Ashley his list of transfer targets ‘A, B and C options…’ and is still waiting to see if they end up being signed. “We have given a list with A, B and C options…we have to wait until 31st January, then we will see.” Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compared to the losses we’d face being relegated again I can’t see how it wouldn’t be worth it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Isegrim 1,807 Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 He doesn’t care about it. As long as Sports Direct gets media coverage by being associated to Newcastle and regardless of the league his ownership fulfills its purpose. He is not willing to speculate to accumulate but just to keep the club running. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We will forever be a poor club with Ashley picking who they sign. Is this common in European football? In N.A. you have the coach and General Manager that make trades and draft picks. The teams where the owner gets involved too much usually stink, see the Cleveland Browns. It seems that this is a normal practice for Rafa because he's still here!

Jintsay 2 Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 I think the Ashley PR machine are pretty fucking good like. To be fair, I want them not to sign Jorgensen as he's a bit shit. So I'd rather no signing than the 20M signing. Which they bid 12M for. But whatever. I don't want him. Ashley in! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
