VillaChris Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Leicester signing Ayoze Perez now. Never really got the hype over him but he did have a very good end of season for Newcastle. Leaves them with striker options of: Yosh Muto Joselu Dwight Gayle We really should be finishing above them imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 £30m apparently. Jeepers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I like him and would take him here but not for that price. He always seems to have some hype as Real and Barcelona allegedly lost out to Newcastle for him and usually is linked with bigger clubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But They're definitely in a mess if Mike Ashley doesn't leave the club. Not sure what happened though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 £30m for an average (at best) striker. Sheesh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I think Perez is a great player who has been hampered a bit by the teammates around him. Think he will do well at Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 5, 2019 Moderator Share Posted July 5, 2019 I know it's petty and I know we don't have a rivalry. But I'm looking forward to Newcastle's Premier League campaign almost as much as I'm looking forward to our own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I feel a bit sorry for them. We know the frustration of having a terrible owner. I don’t want them to get a rich takeover mind, but I can feel their pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 A lot of them have a weird hatred for us, seemingly because of that one “who’s your messiah now?” poster years ago. Very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Very touchy, bitter and self entitled set of fans. If they disappeared, I'd laugh for a few minutes, then I'm not sure I'd notice or care again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very odd. I thought it was for the 'sob on the Tyne' banner when they went down? Either way they think everyone likes them and wants them to do well, probably because of the media w**fest over them, in reality it's the opposite. Most football fans love laughing at them and their delusions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from Shearer constantly relishing moaning about how shit they were on MOTD, I can't think of any other media figures who seem to care about them one way or the other. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more 10-15 years ago when they were signing likes of Owen and also the return of Keegan. They were getting more press for then finishing 12th or 14th than we got for finishing 6th that couple of seasons. All died a death with their relegations, now it's just what Mike Ashley does or frequently dosen't. Their lax approach to actually appointing a new manager says it all. I do get the impression though Newcastle fans enjoying beating us more than majority of other clubs due to our laughing at them twice going down at VP.

villan-scott Posted July 6, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 6, 2019 I was listening to Talksport yesterday and they had Kevin Nolan on, and he was quite positive and respectful of Ashley. He said that people know what they’re getting with him and he’s very straight to the point. He also said he genuinely wants rid of the club (for the right price for him obviously). People saying he’s a poor and terrible owner I just don’t see it. He’s kept them afloat comfortably, there’s never really been any true crisis there. Gibson at Boro is meant to be a good owner, where are they? Sunderland have had much worse ownership issues and look at them. Not forgetting our own woes. Newcastle aren’t hard done by, they just have a businessman as an owner who is only interested in making as much from them as possible. I certainly don’t feel sorry for them one bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the six seasons before Ashley took over Newcastle in June 2007 they finished 4th, 3rd, 5th, 14th, 7th and 13th. In twelve years since they've been relegated twice, finished 15th in 14/15 when they were still in danger of going down on the final day and finished 16th in 12/13. I'm not saying they should be regulars in top 6 as like us that is a bit of a pipe dream but they certainly should be regular top half finishers, they've barely played in europe last decade and done little in the cups (something Ashley has admitted he isn't bothered about).
