fightoffyour Posted August 4, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2023 Crazy money for a guy just coming back from an ACL injury. They’ve still got to abide by FFP, at least in theory, and their transfer dealings in the last two windows have been horrendous from a value perspective. A modern MON indeed. Heads will roll before Christmas when they perform worse than last season I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewieGriffin Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Amazon documentary starts next Friday. Saw a clip yesterday of Howe using Ten Haag's criticism of their style to "inspire the players" - he literally says "he said we're slow so let's shock them and be quick and intense with everything we do". Geordies lapping it up like a bunch of feral animals 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads will roll before Christmas when they perform worse than last season I imagine. Over £100m spent on English talent under Howe and arguably the only major success has been Trippier. Very interested how Barnes will do. Think he will score goals but they did overpay for sure. Howe might be in for a shock next season once teams work them out and can get over the thuggery and tactical fouling his team excel at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder who else they gonna sell to saudi arabia to pay for this one? 19 hours ago, Ceemo said: Deal is supposed to be up to £40 million which is mad money for essentially a back-up right-back. Chelsea also get a sizeable cut of around £15 million from the deal. 15 hours ago, duke313 said: Wee bit of extra cash for their Saudi brothers *wink wink* The whole lot stinks. It's a like a Bermuda Traingle of corruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardest set of fixtures. Howe could be under a bit of pressure if he has no wins in first 5 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted August 4, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2023 Howe has face you'd never tire of punching. Your knuckles would be dust and you'd still just have to keep punching away. Will also be interesting which striker he stumbles on a purple streak for this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs was ok, a bit bland, but I quite enjoyed the Arsenal one on Amazon it doesn't need to be dramatic though...when all or nothing started for me it was more just about being the fly on the wall, it was access that id never seen before, loads of the athletes and the coaches were happy to be open and honest, you got a great look at the facilities and all the behind the scenes stuff, the cardinals was about the owner and GM showing you their normal side, the cowboys was about the mind blowing training facility, man city was about how pep works but then from memory also about aguero being home sick (?) and seeing his family, spurs for me was about the canteen and the physio room! sure there was always something happening but none of it felt forced if we did one id like to see lange's data analyst room and the infrastructure that we've set up, id like to see the spanish guys round each others houses and stuff they do with their families, i want to see something that I've never seen before, i don't need amazon to put some snazzy music on a game i watched and tell me it was exciting 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veriaqa Posted August 4, 2023 Visiting Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) Barnes will struggle for first team with Gordon, Isak, and now Anderson play the same position and all firing. Livramento is just backup for the future. Tonali is meh. Honestly, I'm dumbfounded by Howe/Ashworth transfer strategy. We desperately need LB and hey ho we bought (another) backup RB, a 40 million injury prone backup RB that only had one good season in PL. And send the not injury prone ones on a season long loan. Madness. We have difficult start with 5 easily losable games. Lose all those game and all believe and good feeling will fastly evaporate into thin air and toxic atmosphere will creep in. Honestly I dont think Howe will be Newcastle manager next season. Edited August 4, 2023 by veriaqa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
