  1. Yes, and I don't his talent has ever been in question. He's a freak physically, gifted with speed, height and strength. He's scored a huge amount of goals for his age and is still improving and filling out. Potential is scary
  2. Newcastle have signed Alexander Isak for £54million. Really good signing.
  3. Bolton played reserves including their keeper who was at fault for 3 of our goals. We struggled and I fear superior opposition would have killed us off in the first half. Hopefully we can use this to build but there's a lot of work to be done. Gerrard putting out a £300 million team against a league one side points to a man under pressure. Not a bad thing really
  4. Not true at all. Contrast our fortunes with Newcastle since Gerrard / Howe were appointed.
  5. I never wanted him in the first place. I honestly never thought it would work, for me the appointment was like Rafa at Everton or Nuno at Spurs. I expect (and through gritted teeth) want the board to give him 10 games and as I'll always support us that means I'd love to see him turn things around. That said, I trust the board are already approaching Poch, Rose etc.
  6. He's not as bad as people are making out, can play as part of a 3 if required. Still can't see him coming here, he was linked with Leicester (if they sell Fofana) and that seems more likely
  7. The influence is needed from the manager
  8. Spot on. Thread should be locked. I understand the frustration but as you say Gerrard not on the verge of sacking so the thread is pointless.
  9. Today was awful, half reminded me of the last days of Sherwood. That said, I'll give Gerrard time (even though I'm still sore over the DS sacking). We'll see where we are 10 games in. Remember Nuno got manager of the month this time last season at Spurs!
  10. He's in the top 5 players in Europe at his age. We can offer him 'crazy' money if that's what other clubs are willing to pay. But it's done now so time to move on As I said the club need to learn from this regardless
  11. Chelsea offered him the pay/guarantees he wanted and were willing to throw us 15-20m to make the deal happen quicker. I think we underestimated the interest from else where.
  12. I think more could have been done more earlier to get him to sign. That means a better contract offer earlier and guarantees around game time. The £15m isn't a huge achievement as we'd likely of got that in compensation if he was staying in England. Anyway I'm just disappointed to see us lose one of the best young players in Europe. We've lots more talent coming through
  13. Huge blow for us. If he fulfills his potential he'll be better Jack. Think the club were a bit naive on this one. Hopefully they learn a lesson
  14. Memphis Depay incoming according to TalkSport
  15. Is the 'undeserved' comment a fake KKH account? 18.3k followers!
  16. Or the club are putting pressure on him to sign!
  17. It is clearly not all down to natural ability, hard work usually makes the difference. Henry had the pace and power but had to work obsessively on his finishing. You can also see how Sterling improved from coaching. Ollie has to put in the same work.
  18. No doubt if Gerard doesn't see him get game time with us he'll be straight back to Preston. Thing is, he's knocking on the door so will be given a chance here before the loan decision is made.
  19. Paolo Maldini: "If I have to make a tackle then I have already made a mistake."
  20. There really has been little to no noise from his camp! All we know is he didn't sign the contract he was offered.
  21. From memory, when pre season friendlies went really badly so did our season. But honestly my memory of them is scetchy so I'd like to see what others remember etc.? I'd imagine if we're having a Conte like pre season the lads will be barely able to muster the energy to walk onto the pitch!
  22. Carney is still more likely to sign with us than not. If the club want him to stay badly enough then a deal will be done.
  23. It seems people forget that we signed Kamara from Marseille on a free ourselves. A 22 year old French international. There's no need for the vitriol here. If he gets what he wants he'll stay. If he thinks he can get a better offer in terms of game time and money elsewhere then he'll leave. It's up to the club to decide how much they want to keep him.
