Chop chop! Lets all gawp at Newcastle (again)

hmm, their team will consist of Targett, Burn, Tripper, Willock, Guimaraes, Wood, ASM, Almiron, Wilson (when fit) etc, all ranging from ok-ish prem level, to good prem level.

Honestly, if they dont stay up, its pure incompetence by the people managing the club.

That squad is much, much better than say Burnley, Norwich & Watford.

I’m surprised their signings are getting the VT seal of approval already.

Time will tell, although I’m not overly impressed tbh. 

For sure - they signed Wood because of a release clause nobody thought would be met. Massively overspent on a midfielder from Lyon. Defensively, they now have to integrate three new players. It’s a lot of variables - Premier League experience or not - there’s a reason why they’ve been down there for so long.

Yes, because their team was poo. Now they’ve upgraded it.

Obviously doesn’t guarantee safety, but gives them a much better chance.

NEWCASTLE UNITED’S JANUARY: 

Matt Targett
Dan Burn
Kieran Trippier
Bruno Guimaraes
Chris Wood

Near £90m spent when we did this in our first season back we were doing a Fulham. The 5 signings definitely improve them but not world beaters,?Guimaraes will need time to settle.

Really bugs me the way a club just spunking money left, right and centre is described as a 'project'.

Well in this case they at least have their Saudi PRINCE2, so.

They are making clever signings..when they stay up we sadly won't be able to compete with them financially. It's the start of another man city isn't it

It's Newcastle. They'll find a way of cocking it up. Always have been and always will be a circus of a club

Botman saying Newcastle is a nice project so looks like that will happen in the summer if they stay up

Funny way of saying huge salary.
