Turned Gordon from a blind alley throw your hands in the air player to a team first pressing machine. Livramento looks like he is the second coming of Gareth Bale in many ways. Guimares is back to his best. The 3 combined cost 125 million. Hardly some hidden gems he plucked from League 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 The way they’re coping with a serious set of injuries and still being competitive is quite impressive, it pains me to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 My tuppence on this is that I have yet to see any real *evidence* that Newcastle are doping other than their style of play, which is not nothing but is also pretty thin. On the other hand, the FA *definitely* aren't doing their jobs doing drug testing, and I think there's very good reason to think that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Newcastle are doping I would also imagine they arent the only ones. Football is either very lenient or just incredibly lucky when it comes to drug testing Its similar to Liverpool somehow signing a large amount of players with asthma 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 This is how tight it is. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12029209/Does-Premier-League-drugs-problem.html "Premier League footballers are almost never tested for the banned performance-enhancing drug testosterone, a Mail on Sunday investigation has found.

And if a club wants a player off their books (see pogba) they can just request that they're tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
