Genie Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I still think they’ll want a big name for their owners back at home to dine out on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 I’m interested to see how they do this season. Part of me thinks they’ve bought really cleverly, but the other part thinks they’re still mostly the same squad that has been fighting relegation for the last 3-4 years. Targett, Wood and Burn improve them a bit, but they felt more like safe signings to avoid relegation, but still feel like mid to bottom half players. Bruno Guimaraes is obviously a quality player, as are Pope and Tripper. And Botman feels like a top-half player, but is a bit of an unknown quantity until we see him in the Prem. Currently, it feels like a lot of it boils down to Howe, and how he sets them up. Could they have benefitted from a good serving of new manager bounce last season? And if that wears off, do they currently have the squad to push past lower/mid table? I think they’ll do fairly well, but I also think they need to make another 3-4 good signings to really be up where their owners presumably want them (10th-7th, at a guess).

Popular Post robby b Posted July 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62049267 Extract ("a selection from a writing or discourse") : "Bundesliga side Mainz will play their pre-season fixture against Newcastle despite a fan protest about the English club's Saudi Arabian owners. A fans' group said the match should be cancelled as Newcastle was a "vehicle for asserting the interests of a regime that tramples on human rights". It also said the country's "policies are diametrically opposed to the values and mission statement of Mainz 05." " Well done Mainz fans for taking a stand and putting the NUFC contoversy in the spotlight again. Edited July 5, 2022 by robby b 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grow the French contingent and pay a fee for a player under 28 FFS man. Stop going after good players. Go buy Ronaldo or something stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t tell if you’re trolling with this Newcastle love-in or not anymore I’d never heard of Mara so looked him up. According to Fotmob he was the 11th best player in the team that finished rock bottom of the French top flight. He scored 6 in 27 last season (0 assists). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jealous of their good targets/signings and this seems a good place to complain about it. Wasn't in here when they were linked to Isak for £80m, that would have been stupid. Unfortunately they didn't go through with it. Thought Guimaraes would be brilliant, he is. Think Botman will be brilliant, we'll see. Had mentioned this fella for us as I think it's a good shout, now linked with the woman haters. If he does sign, hopefully he flops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
