VillaChris Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 15 hours ago, villa4europe said: They won't be, they're just being bigged up by the media Bruno is the only player they've signed so far that could play European football for them, they will need a huge turnover of players to get to where they want to be, it will take them a few years Trippier aswell. In last four years he's been a regular in team at club level that won La Liga, another reached CL final and for national team started a world cup SF and Euros final so he's played at very high level. Age against him a bit now given he's 31 but that could be Zabaleta type signing for Newcastle. They really should be top half next season given they could easily be top half this season despite spending six months in the bottom three.

Is our mission to break the cartel or have a nice cozy place amongst it. An easy on for your conscience but a difficult one in the real world!

FFP is in place - the top clubs don’t want to be losing their dolla. Why would Newcastle be any different to other clubs who throw money around like, say, us?? It’s because the Premier League are adamant that the Saud government have nothing to do with it. Even though PIF is the sovereign wealth fund for Saudi Arabia and is controlled by Mohammed bin Salman. Yasir Al Rummayyan (Newcastle chairman) is the governor of the fund. He is also the high up in Saudi-Aramco. He oversaw the investment of £4.5billion into Uber (who still uses them??) he’s a board member there too. So ffp and whatever else won’t matter to them. Man City got away with it these guys are on a whole other level. However long it takes them they’ll get there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Legit think we loaned them Targett to fight relegation and we had the delusion we would kick on for a European finish. They've absolutely embarrassed the management of this club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 They've gone on a ridiculous run since Christmas. I do wonder though if they'll be able to carry it into next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Their run has been great but I seem to recall Howe struggling to start with. 1 win in 9. Good job we never appointed him, fans would have been baying for his sacking by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) They've been in amazing form, since Christmas only Liverpool have taken more points, the strange thing is that despite all the money they will spend in the summer next season they almost certainly won't go on a run as good as the one they've been since January, which could actually backfire on Howe, as expectations have been raised.

Looking much better and that’s even before they got Bruno G going. One of my very few accurate predictions. Still not happy since BG is at the wrong club.
