Summer Transfer Window 2019

Bit of an odd theory. He got playing time and experience, I think that counts for something?

Not really. If he was playing up top we wouldn't say he's gotten experience to improve as a CB and playing RB in a back 3 system isn't even close to the same as playing CB in a back 4. My guess is he's the same level as when he left.

Well as it currently stands we have Gana and Gomes playing in the middle with Siggy higher up. If he gets hurt then we need another center mid in there, which would as it stands be one of Davies, Williams, Schneiderlin or McCarthy. Sell those latter 2 (which could be on the cards) then we're left with two younger players to fill in if needed, so bringing in a Delph makes sense as he's an experienced head

All true, but in that scenario he is a replacement for Schneiderlin as he is the only one who ventures on to the pitch. McCarthy is a non-entity, he has contributed net zero to this football club in the last three seasons.

Top one says Malcom has a proposal from 2 clubs and his agent will fly to England to discuss - a couple of days later he said we were one of them.

Bottom one states we are bidding €35mill for him

Thanks, let’s hope we can get him

Have we signed Sturridge yet?

Seeing as Newcastle aren’t getting bought by a Sheik, currently have no manager, no strikers, look likely to appoint Steve Bruce as manager and are now reduced to shopping in the Bolasie and McCarthy transfer shop.

I feel that now would be a good time to refresh everyone’s memories as to the musings of @GwladysBlue on the subject of Newcastle overtaking Everton as a club.

He really is a silly billy.

Outstanding work my friend.

In English???

We need to sell before we can buy which has opened up the window for Arsenal to swoop in.

But he isn’t playing up top, he’s playing in defence, so it’s not even a comparison worth making. In fact what on earth are you even blathering on about?

From Kirkbride.

Mario Mandzukic, what kind of fake news, echo must be working with the club to drive price down or something. Why would Mandzukic come here, when he has the chance of wining cl this season

Yeh, great post

Mandzukic? So, so odd that, a 33 year old that doesn’t score.

It's really simple. RB is not the same as CB and playing RB doesnt make you a better CB. They're different positions and while they share some skills it isn't enough to say Holgate is now a better CB because he had 10 good games at RB.

Sounds ideal for us.

 

[SpongeBob brown shoes]

Would be amazing

 

[KaiserEFC]

Can’t believe we’re finally running the club with some financial sense and also going for good footballers absolute JOKE.

Outstanding work my friend.

Thank you,

Call it a hunch, but I suspect he may continue to be a rich source of similar material for the foreseeable.
