Honey Honey 3,767 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 10 years ago today Mike Ashley bought the club. 2 relegation and in Europe once. Compared to the 10 years before him where we were frequently in Europe that is abysmal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honey Honey 3,767 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 He's a top bloke but didn't cut it in his natural position (holding midfield) in English football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was absolute shite when we had him on loan but then again Martinez never seemed to want to give him a proper chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably only started a dozen games. I don't think he'll be good enough to start but he's good enough to step in now and then and be an impact sub because when he wants to he can be very direct and get at the opposition.

Toony 95 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Not sure about that, he's looked quite dodgy in English football though I imagine he will be a vast improvement on our current Championship central defenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toony 95 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Done well there considering he hardly played, though he has done quite well over there and I'm sure Marseille will see it as a decent deal for them too. Sels next out of the door, what a shit signing that was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey 3,767 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Quote Newcastle United are closing in on the £8.7m signing of French defender Florian Lejeune, 26, from Spanish club Eibar. (Marca via Newcastle Chronicle) Apparently Gouffran might be staying as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gouffran has had his spell of being a load of shite in the Premier League to be fair. But he had a decent season in the Championship. A 1 year reward contract wouldn't be too bad but it would be an indication that we wont be moving forward in the transfer market as fast as we'd like. It might even me no new winger coming in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Gonzo 8,180 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Shola plays for Botts County with player-manager Kevin Nolan and Newcastle legend Alan Smith. And they play in black and white and call themselves the magpies... The legacy lives! How did you lot like Gini Wijnaldum? I think he plays a bit deeper for us than he did for you... but I'm pretty impressed with his first season. He's very well rounded, works hard, has barely ever had a bad game, and he's had a few important goals for us. Imo he's a pretty underated player & he does all of the things Joe Allen did playing well, but is more physical and imo a better player overall. But didn't he lose his place under Rafa? Agent Rafa has now given us Sturridge and Gini at pretty decent prices I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Rafa has now given us Sturridge and Gini at pretty decent prices I'd say. He was good in the first half of the season although he wasn't consistent so we were struggling to find his correct position. Interestingly enough the big no no for us was when he played deeper, the game went by him and he couldn't keep up with it. Since you dominate possession that's probably not an issue you've experienced. He was dropped under Rafa because he did the stereotypically Dutch international thing and gave up when the going got tough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toony 95 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Can definitely see Lucas moving, Rafa is a big fan of his. We need another central midfielder too, Shelvey will start but not sure Hayden is up to the PL week-in week-out and Colback isn't up to it at all.
